Finally, after 5 long months of winter, the sun is back! So I decided to make this edition of the Music Is My Sanctuary show full of sunshine vibes. 30 nuggets ranging from soul, beats, latin, house, and hip-hop. Hope you disco...
Here is fifth compilation of ”forgotten treasures” which is – if you’re new here – one of the pillars of this website. The idea is usally to ask our DJ and Producer and all around Music Junky friends to pick one track...
For those of you who don’t live in Montreal, I need to preface this by explaining that Montreal only really has two seasons: Winter, where artists hibernate and create the most insane material you have ever seen and Summer, w...
B-Dub – I first came across you via Myspace about ’08/09 (remember that?!) and the 1st track I heard was Muthafunkagetsbeatdown, and that one still does it for me. That’s a solid Hip-Hop style banger, which is...
From DJ Luv: This is a trip through the history of techno. Starting in 1978 I mix in one record per year, in chronological order, all the way to 2013. 36 years of man made machine music + 36 records + 3 Technics 1200s + 1 mixer...
What with Mr Huismans (aka A Made Up Sound / 2562) taking us on a tour of his favourite record stores (link to article), now seems like a good time to drop this Forgotten Treasure. Dubstep happened to me when I started uni in 2...
In honor of all the great record stores in the world still doing their (essential!) thing. We asked some of our favorite artists out there to give us a little run down of their personal favorites. Here are some of A MADE UP SO...

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a child from the Haitian Diaspora and though there is a strong delegation of Haitians in my city it was still hard to keep the connection between the culture I was being taught at school...
via TurntableLab: Detroit is in the house! What more can you say when 3 Chairs are on deck? The quartet of seasoned producers is back with the four track Demigods EP. It’s interesting because you can hear the touch of The...
This past winter being what it was, only one thing helped me cope with the meteorological cruelty: Soca. Following some kind of Cosmic Alignment touched by the gaze of a loving Creator, our winter’s harshest month coincid...
As Ghostbeard himself tells it best: Back in December of 2012 I found myself in Toyko with the Amon Tobin “ISAM Live” tour. Taking 4000 pounds worth of stage design to the other side of the world seemed like a perfectly goo...
Big up to faithful MIMS reader Simon for the heads up on this one! Uproot Andy‘s “Worldwide Ting” Mix is a preview of tracks forthcoming on Que Bajo Records! For more info visit the Que Bajo website Tracklist...
Don’t look for braces in a gift horse’s mouth, they say! Along comes, in a nicely thumping gallop, the latest grime compilation from Ninja Tune‘s off shot Big Dada compiled by none other than writer / A&...
For the record I’m not a big fan of Rihanna. I don’t really dig her voice and struggle with the sheer amount of radio play she gets. This Christmas, I bought my little sister a copy of Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange to try ...
