Future Classic: Iman Omari ” Vibe Tape +++(3)”
Iman Omari is one of those people who is able to really embrace different genres of music and make it sound raw and authentic. I remember listening to “ESC Vol 2” for the first time and being blown away by the effortless experimentation with jazz, hip-hop, soul and even R&B. …
Future Classic: Bonnie Banane feat. Waltaa “Champs-Élysées”
Oh my gosh! The killer duo of Bonnie Banane & Walter Mecca are back with another dope jam just in time for the summer. If you remember last years’ glorious 90’s R&B inspired “Muscles” you know what to expect from these two. We fell in love with the new “Champ Elysées” …
Future Classic: Brian Ellis “Love Is” Ft. Egyptian Lover (Voltaire Records)
It’s been another great week regarding Modern Funk discoveries, but I just couldn’t overlook Brian Ellis‘ new 45, now available on Voltaire Records. In last week’s edition of my Voyage Funktastique radio show, I played the B-side, Electric Body feat. K.Maxx, so it was only natural that I play the …
Future Classic: Dj Fudge & Hallex M feat. Omar “Simpatico”

Future Classic: Eomac “Spectre” (KilleKill Records)
We don’t cover a ton of techno records and artists on MIMS but it’s certainly not because we don’t love it. We just like to highlight records that are as enjoyable in headphones as they are on a massive sound system in a club. And thats not always an easy …
Future Classic: Keats Collective “Volume 5”
I was preparing my weekly Voyage Funktastique radio show with the intention to play some of the records I bought last week-end in NYC, and Lillo Thomas’ (You’re A ) Good Girl was on deck, from the album Let Me Be Yours (1983). It has that “Kashif” sound, and my homegirl …
Future Classic: Monk-E “Le seul chemin”
Monk-E has been on the scene for a minute and recently gained notoriety as the Canadian champion in the End of the Weak MC competition. A deadly pengame has always been the major characteristic for the MTL spitter, however his artistic expression has always extended beyond rhymes as he is …
