Mr. Guan “Christmas Mix 2012”
Our good homie Mr. Guan from Vienna just put out a really cool vinyl only mix for all of us music heads looking for good music on this christmas day, but not necessarily christmas music per say. Guan is one of the founding members of The Loud Minority, the dopest …
Classic Mixes: J Rocc “Sex Machine Today” (2001)
It’s no secret to all you frequent MIMS readers that we have tons of love for J-Rocc, the world famous Beat Junkie. One of THE dudes we love as much behind the decks and the production board. We posted an article a few days ago about a new J-Rocc track …
The Jackson 5 “Love Trip” – The Rare Pearls
So many times when compilations are released of a band’s vault material, the listener is left unfulfilled. The Jackson 5 dispelled that theory with a batch of twelve songs in 2009 on I Want You Back: The Unreleased Masters with a set of songs that any artist on Motown would …
Future Classic: J Rocc “Don’t Look Back”
We all know J-Rocc as the founding member of the Beat Junkies, and for his perennial DJ mixes. His “Sex Machine Today” mix is one of the best mixes ever(ask any of your favourite DJ’s and they would back that up in a heartbeat). I mean, come on, when Peanut …
Forgotten Treasure: Nightlife Unlimited “Peaches & Prunes” (Ron Hardy Edit)
This is a really funny one because we posted this years ago and I’ve been playing the track for ages now and I somehow got the titles of the A and B sides of the white label vinyl completely mixed up. We even played this on one of the earliest …

D’Angelo “Left & Right (Moodprint Remix)” via Soulection
Recently we were listening to one of Lefto’s recent radio shows and discovered this blissful remix of D’Angelo’s ‘Left & Right’.

Forgotten Treasure: Steve Harvey “Tonight” (Francois K Remix) (1983)
Last night I came home after a long night of work and found a sweet new MIMS gem dug up by fellow disco homie Devon Eve. During the boogie breakdown I heard a guitar riff (4:02-4:09) that inspired a familiar-yet-mysterious melody in my head. The imaginary blend of both tracks …
Forgotten Treasure: Sumy “Funkin In Your Mind” (1982)
Sumy’s “Funkin In Your Mind” is a great funky throw back tune for all you smooth 80’s boogie lovers. And if you can’t really get on board with this beat, you most certainly can’t argue with the album cover – absolute gold! To consider this a forgotten treasure would be …
Dam-Funk “The Crown” (1996 Cassette)
