Future Classic: Teebs “Anchor Steam”
(Almost) brand new heat from up and coming producer yet another dope Los Angeles producer TEEBS. Ok i’m a little late to talk about this one because this is 6/10 of the Los Angeles series put together by the awesome ALL CITY label. Previous editions of the L.A featured Dam-Funk, …
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 …
