Forgotten Treasure: Zed Bias & MC Juiceman – My Sound – Al Brown Remix (1999)
The sound of flute. Do we hear that in songs anymore? It’s definitely one of the signature instruments for Disco, Italo, and sometimes yes – old school Garage. I’m really loving this 1999 UK Garage classic by Zed Bias and MC Juiceman “My Sound (Al Brown remix)” right now. Nostalgic …

Pearson Sound / Ramadanman “BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix”
Myself and Guilty had the pleasure of playing with David aka Pearson Sound / Ramadanman last spring in Montreal and it was great to witness a guy that’s as interesting behind the decks and he is behind the production board. And lord knows he’s one of the dopest producers of …
Future Classic: Zomby “Nothing” EP
I am huge Zomby fan but I was (just) a bit disappointed with this years “Dedication” LP, a little bit too heavy on the crazy arpeggiators for my taste. But you know, now that I think about it; the record was pretty damn strong. (Haha, ok this post makes no …
Future Classic: A Made Up Sound “Take The Plunge” (AMS 005)
If you’re not already familiar with Dave Huismans’ work, the man behind broken-beat moniker 2562 and dub techno alias A Made up Sound, you have a lot of catching up to do. Fresh off the release of his THIRD full length album as 2562 “Fever”, Huismans’ creative flow cannot be …
Forgotten Treasure: Mark Pritchard & Steve Spacek “Turn it On” (2007)
Since Africa Hi-Tech are in Montreal for the first time this friday (details here) I figured i’d post at least one forgotten treasure from Mark Pritchard‘s and Steve Spacek‘s unbelievable musical resume of the last 15 years. I decided to go with a fairly recent one (released in 2007 but …
Future Classic: Blacksmif “Turtle Gets A Shell”
If you’re into James Blake, Ifan Dafydd and other post-dubstep producers, then Blacksmif is definitely for you.

Future Classic: Mosca “The Wavey EP” (3024 Records)
Pretty dazzling EP from Mosca who is quickly becoming everyone’s IT producer in 2011! Deadly modern techno from one of the best! Dom Perignon’, a cavernous roller with a gravity inverting bass drum and dub-infused atmospherics – a nice locked-in groove. ‘Orange Jack’ , is a deep skeletal booty bass …

T Williams – FACT Mix #294
When I come across an all vinyl mix, the likelihood of me listening to it goes up by 100%. The fact that this one comes from UK underground guru T Williams made it a no brainer. And this one is reFRESHing. Navigating through classic house, broken-beat future jazz, and UK …
