Future Classic: Boundary “Boundary”
Breaking away from what had become so familiar with his name during the last few years, Montreal producer Poirier revealed today a new identity alongside a new self-titled and self-released record, Boundary. As Boundary, Poirier comes back to its minimalist ambient and techno sound of the early 2000s – with …
Future Classic: Levon Vincent “Specks Jam”
This was one of the very last cuts that got left out of our last MIMS Show but I kind of regret it now. Let’s be honest though, this track will probably find its way on one our mixes at some point as it is indeed a “future classic“. You regular …
24HOV Mixes: IRON GALAXY (Montreal)
Another really great mix taken from the 7th edition of the 24 HOURS OF VINYL in Montreal (March 2nd 2013). This one comes from IRON GALAXY who is really starting to make heads turn with releases on Audio Culture, Late Night Tales and Turbo Records. He came through for an …
Guest Mix #11: AZAMAT B. (France)
Our good friend AZAMAT B hooked us up with a mix last year and we loved it so much that we asked him for another one. Cause… When it’s nice you do it twice! This new one is just absolutely great for the winter time. Different shades of techno, house, …
Jonattan Levingstone “Live on Bande À Part”
Here’s a great mix by a sweet new Montreal-based label that’s quickly gaining some well-deserved attention on popular download/vinyl charts from around the world. Jonattan Levingstone (Parages) was without a doubt one of the most genuine, fun-loving music lovers and party-throwers in the city (now chasing his dreams in Berlin). …
Guest Mix #09: BOWLY (Montreal)
Brand new MIMS Guest mix and this one is from our very good homie BOWLY, a great producer and DJ from Montreal (by way of la France). Bowly is a member of the ESL Crew, along with Bus and Skinnybones arguably the most important crew in Montreal in terms of …
Forgotten Treasure: Detroit Beatdown Compilation (2002)
These past couple of years there has a bit of a revival surrounding “slow” house and techno. Producers have been going back to tracks that are in the 105 to 115 bpm rather than techno and house (which usually is much faster at 125 – 130 bpm) and a brand …
Future Classic: Andy Stott “Luxury Problems”
Oh my gawwwd. Andy Stott rules my world. I fell in love the british producers’ work in the mid 2000’s when I bought an EP on his on Modern Love which has since become one of my favorite labels around (Claro Intelecto and Pendle Coven are also regulars). I absolutely …
Future Classic: Cosmin TRG “A Universal Crush”
This is it! My first post on MIMS and I must say I’m quite honored to be part of this community of music connoisseurs. Listening to it all and appreciating sound in all its glory and its genres. Now where do I come in? Well about 3 years ago, I …
Future Classic: Randomer “Scruff Box / Get Yourself Together” (Hemlock)
Holy shit! Now that’s what I’m talking about. Enough with the R&B samples and the weak sounding drums. Let’s get back to the RAW with this amazing new 12″ from Randomer. Hemlock is usually one of our favorite labels but this one has to rank right up there amongst their …
Future Classic: Objekt “Cactus / Porcupine” (Hessle Audio)
Now this is one EP we’ve been waiting for impatiently! OBJEKT is one of the freshest new producers on the block really knocked us out in 2011 with his lean and minimal brand of techno meets dubstep. In fact, we picked “Tinderbox” as one of our favorite tracks of 2011. …
Future Classic: Gravious “Spatial Dimensions EP”
I first came across Gravious when he released the Junction City EP about a year ago. Mixing all the niceties of techno with the accessibility of dubstep is no small feat but this man seems to have managed to pull it off. In doing so he combines a bouncy experimental …
