Future Classic: Shlohmo “Bad Vibes” LP
While the rest of the world was waiting for that certain “Watch The Throne” release aka # WTT on twitter, I was, as a “beats” fan waiting for Shlohmo‘s LP. I can’t ignore the fact that he’s an awesome producer and his remix of Waka Flocka is pretty insane as …
Future Classic: Outboxx “Blueberry Lemon EP”
Here’s a future classic that sounds like it should be a forgotten treasure. Outboxx releases a very smooth EP on Well Rounded Housing Project, sister label of Well Rounded (Deadboy, Hackman, C.R.S.T). The hightlight here is “Brighten My Day (ft. Naomi Jeremy)”, a tune that starts off with soft jazzy …
Forgotten Treasure: Howard Jones “Like to get to know you well” (1985)
Holy crap what a glorious piece of 80’s cheese! I was too young when this came out (1984) to remember this but it’s just the kind of song that you’ve heard a couple times in your life, maybe at the hair dresser, in a taxi cab, something like that. Anywhooo. …
Forgotten Treasure: Arthur Russell “This Is How We Walk On the Moon”
The more I learn about Arthur Russell the more captivated I become. The expression of an artist being “before their time” is used quite often but with him it is right on. In his very short career he touched on avant-garde, experimental music, folk, echo and drone and for a …
Future Classic: Sepalcure “Love Pressure” (Remixes)
What an absolutely ridiculous remix EP right here! Hotflush Records have put quite the team together to remix Sepalcure’s already classic EP even though it came only about a year ago. Sepalcure (Machine Drum & Braille) get the refix treatment from 5 of our favorite artists in cutting edge dancefloor …
Future Classic: Fatima “Mind”
Great way to start your week with a video from Fatima, a great soul singer from the UK who is making a lot of noise. Working with tons of great people like Dam-Funk, Floating Points, Funkineven and more. “In preparation for the launch of the forthcoming Eglo website, we took …
Future Classic: Swing & Skip #002
True story about this one: Good homie and head of the Swing and Skip label HGLDT gave a copy of the white label to Julio Bashmore when I was playing with him this summer, but for some reason the vinyl ended up in my pile and I found it a …
Future Classic: Pangaea “Hex”
Just a couple of days ago I was sharing the new Breton EP with the Girl Unit remix as a “Future Classic” selection and now yet again more fire from the same label, Helmlock out of London. This time it’s an absolute burner from the man who calls himself Pangaea. …
Future Classic: Pierre’s Pfantasy Club “Mystery Girl” (Seiji’s Bassrub)
The Numbers imprint is already well known for pulling some proper tricks out of their bag, and this is a BIG one. Originally released in 1987, DJ Pierre’s 2nd single ‘Mystery Girl’ should surely count in the Chi-town hall-of-fame, squarely defining the sound with horny bass vamps, futurist synth strokes …
