Future Classic: The Left “The Melody”
Another gem that came at me straight outta nowhere. I have this monthly discoveries exchange going on with LEC, one of my longtime childhood friends and this was one of his nuggets. Wow, ok. 1-0. THE LEFT are a trio with Appollo Brown on production duties that have apparently been …

Future Classic: James Blake “Limit To Your Love”
The term post-dubstep has been floating around a lot this year with people like Mount Kimbie and James Blake infusing their approach to the global phenomenon. Usually post dubstep keeps some of the same structures, tempos and sounds all with a more headphone approach than the dancefloor oriented stuff… but …
Future Classic: Tha Connection “I Want It Back” (R.I.P Guru)
Super dope stuff from NY duo Tha Connection. This is the first I hear of them but I’ll be on the look out for their upcoming releases. This is the kind of straight up boom bap hip-hop that I think we all miss. Don’t sleep on this one. I’ve been …

Future Classic: SBTRKT “Step in the shadows EP”
The SBTRKT project has been making a lot of noise in the last year remixing some of the top names out there and pumping out a few quality EP’s in 2010. I had been playing a few tracks of his but this is by far his most complete work so …
Future Classic: Zion-I “The Sun Come Out”
Brand new heat from Oakland’s Zion I. The duo has been flying under the radar for years and hopefully the release of their new record called “Atomic Clock” helps them get more attention in the scene. I’m loving this track right here (it’s podcast material for sure!)… it really makes …
