Future Classic: Deft “Before Vol. 1”

I am constantly looking for new tracks and artists. I think its not only necessary to collect, but to listen to new sounds. It’s good for my mind because there are always new things to listen and new musical trips to embark upon. I stumbled on Deft, a crazy beatmaker …

Future Classic: Salva “Yellobone” EP (+ Remixes from Shlohmo & LOL Boys)

No offense but I get so many links for promos falling the whole “future” beats umbrella. And as much as I really like that sort of thing, it’s very rapidly starting to get on my nerves. Way too many tracks that sound like they were made in 5 minutes, add …

Future Classic: Evenings “Lately EP”

With Broasddus Nathan aka Evenings, it was love at first sight. I think that at this time of the year in Montreal, music is even more necessary than usual because, as I often say in my articles, the fall does not suit me well. I’m like a wilted flower that …

Forgotten Treasure: Chaka Khan “What You Did” (1980)

Wow, talk about a dope A-side B-side combo right here. “What you did” came out in 1980 as a B-side to “Clouds” by Ashford & Simpson. Both tracks are just a perfect mix of the soul, disco and boogie sound. Something that could only have come out in the late …
