Future Classic: Lorca “Hold Back”
If anyone said there’s a seasonality to certain music , I wouldn’t disagree. Surely good music can be enjoyed regardless of time and place, yet sometimes it’s all about a specific mood that a certain kind of music evokes. I first came across Lorca’s ‘Hold Back’ in the summer through …

Forgotten Treasure: Sporty Thievz “Street Cinema 2” – Produced by Pete Rock (2000)
Oh, man: who remembers No Scrubs vs No Pigeons? Just thinking about that round in the battle of the sexes warps me back to the era of velour sweatsuits, FUBU jerseys and doofy-looking ski goggles. On a recent Toronto getaway, I dusted off the Thievz’ criminally slept-on Street Cinema and …
Future Classic: Blu & Exile “Give Me Flowers While I Can Smell Them”
Most people know Blu & Exile because of their now cult classic 2007 record Below Heavens. While people waited impatiently for the follow up, they apparently had a full record made in 2009 finished and just waiting to be released. Give Me Flowers While I Can Smell Them is dedicated …

Dr. MaD is the evil member of a Montreal beatmaking crew called Alaiz who are quickly becoming some of my favorite dudes. There is really something special coming out of the Alaiz crew (High-Klassified, Celestics, Musoni, Kaytradamus, …
Future Classic: Moka Only “Martian Xmas 2011”
I’m a big Moka Only fan. Every year, the prolific rapper from Vancouver, BC (that’s in Canada by the way. heheh) makes a little free christmas album around december. It’s a gift for his fans. Don’t expect him to surpass himself or to try new things here, it’s not the …
Forgotten Treasure: Sivuca “Ain’t No Sunshine” (1973)
Another forgotten treasure recovered from the 24 Hour vinyl marathon we did last week. This one is from our good homie Tronald Trump. He played the mid day set and had the studio and the chat room vibing the whole time! Tons of great Stones Throw / Doom type of …
Future Classic: Moodymann “MOODY (i guess u never been lonely)”
Let’s get straight to the point: Moodymann just released a new video from the blackmahoganidetroit youtube channel and you need to watch it. “MOODY…(i guess u never been lonely) features Canada’s Junior Boys and it’s been a long time since I have heard them so “in their element”. The boys …
Future Classic: Smokey Robotic – HotBrass (Video)
I originally found out about Smokey Robotic about a year ago, when the big homie and fellow connoisseur DJ Sagewondah was touting them as that next-level shit. Knowing his acumen for these sort of things, I took heed and they’ve since become a personal favorite of mine. The group consists …
Future Classic: Blawan “Peaches”
Wowza. After a breakout year Blawan is closing 2011 in a very strong way with a 12″ on Clone Records out of Holland. The approach is more straight forward than his usual stuff but is absolutely essential for all the Techno heads. 2011 has been a pretty amazing music for …
