I lived and breathed this music and have picked some of my favourite tracks from that era for this mix. I tried to [...]

Mix of the Day: “A Tribute To Mandela” by King Kong Disko
via King Kong Disco: “Tonight we received the sad news that a real freedom fighter icon of the 20th century has finally passed away. On the 5th of December 2013 Nelson Mandela died in Johannesburg. His name stands for a life long struggle to rid his people of the curse of apartheid and oppression. During [...]

Guest Mix #18: ABJO (San Diego, US)
The explosion of the instrumental / abstract hip-hop beat movement since the mid-2000′s is still going strong but after a couple years of constant growth with a gazillion new beat-makers every month we are starting to see who are the artists that are in this for the long run and will outlive the status of [...]
Dela “Music Is My Sanctuary Remix”
Dela is a dope beatmaker from France but also one of our favorite Montrealers! He took on the daunting task of remixing the Gary Bartz classic that inspired me for the name of the site. If you didn’t know the original ver...
Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #40
Wow. Ok, this was a really hard one to put together. The idea was that since 40 is a nice round number I would pick one song from each show i’ve done over the 3+ years since I started. A really tough process because I pre...
Future Classic: Pursuit Grooves “Pressure”
Brownswood is very rapidly becoming one of the best labels out there and with Gilles Peterson at the control it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Vol. 6 of the crucial Brownswood Bubblers edition (tracks not necessarily ...
Rough Trade top 10 of 2010
Check out the Rough Trade 2010 top 10. Rough Trade is one of the best record stores in London and is one of the most respected stores / labels for all things Indie.
Forgotten Treasure: Quasimoto “Rappcats”
Stone cold indie rap classic right here. Of course, this is a track from Lord Quas, the helium inflated MC created by Madlib. Such a dope video paying homage to some of the godfathers of RAP!
Future Classic : Kayne, Kweli & Consequence “Chain Heavy”
Like a lot of people I have mixed feelings about Kayne. As a producer and all around musical art director I have nothing but respect. As an emcee is where I find him kind of average. On tracks where you have a lot of quality MC...
Mouvement Rap Francophone (circa 1990)
There is no doubt that in 2010, Hip-Hop music is truly a global movement. For better or for worse… But before countries like Japan, Spain, France, Germany became credible in this rap game they all had to start somewhere, ...
Forgotten Treasure: Roy Ayers “Love Will Bring Us Together”
Just thought i’d share one of my personal Roy Ayers favorite. It has always worked for me on pretty much any dance floor I’ve tried it on. Roy Ayers has performed and produced so many amazing jams in his career that...
Riddim Box : Excursions into UK Funky
Soul Jazz Records has been one of my favorite labels for a lonnnng time, in fact pretty much ever since I started buying vinyl. They just bring quality to everything they do, Reggae, Cuban Music, Dubstep. They are just cutting ...
Future Classic: Maddslinky “Make a change” LP
Most definitely one of the essential records of 2010 for me. Zed Bias makes a furious comeback under his Maddslinky moniker, not that he’d been away but it had been a while since he’d released under his aka more gea...
Forgotten Treasure: Masterstepz “Melody” (1998)
Oh man, this one right here takes me back. The track is from 1998 but I probably discovered it in 2000. I remember there was this magazine (for you young kids, magazines are like the internet made out of paper) with a mix CD in...
Christian Pronovost – Lost Heroes Fall 2010 Mix Tape
Anyone in Montreal who knows anything about anything know that when monsieur Christian Pronovost comes out with a mix, you listen and take notes. When it comes to veterans of the game in Montreal I am just like a sponge and I t...
Mowgli “Analyse This” Video
For those who don’t know of Mowgli yet, he’s definitely one of the freshest voices in UK Hip-Hop right now and he’s arrived! Finally… It’s great to hear these tracks get played, reviewed and videos...
Future Classic: Jammer “10 Man Roll”
Pretty good track and even better video from Jammer, recently signed to Big Dada records (affiliated with Ninja Tune). Taking you on a little 4 minute trip of the past, present and future of UK grime. Featuring Boy Better Know ...
