I’m pretty psyched about this video dig because I actually discovered it through one of our readers. I love when that happens cause people have a tendency of thinking that just cause we write about music that we’re music experts who literally live with our heads in crates when in all honesty the only reason [...]

ERIC LAU presents “What I’m Feeling Right Now”

We’ve been loving Eric Lau‘s music for quite a while now. Ever since we heard his first LP on Ubiquity (“New Territories” in 2008) we’ve always been on the lookout for his work. We played two of his tracks in our last MIMS shows (“Oh Dara” on #61 and “Everytime” on #62) which tons of [...]

Mix of the Day: Mr. Beatnick “FACT Mix 383″

Future Classic: Rihanna “Cockiness” (Jonas LR remix)

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 ...

Forgotten Treasure: Amuzement Park “Groove Your Blues Away” (1982)

Post Disco Boogie! I found the LP while browsing an online site, the original as kinda pricey, but I got instant happy in the pants to this tune. Uptempo groove, great bassline, glassy Funk guitar tones, and some killer horns. ...
