Future Classic: Koen “Outputs 3” (Soulection)
After pretty outstanding the Outputs volumes 1 and 2, Koen, the very underrated producer from Holland, is releasing Outputs 3 through the good folks at Soulection. Just one listen to the 10 track record and you’ll know it’s not your average beats / juke / 808 / spaced-out R&B project. …
Modeselektor “Berlin” (Video)
One of our top tracks of 2011 (although it came out late in the year) finally gets a video treatment. Albeit, not the greatest video in history but still kinda cool. But mostly, if somehow, this track slipped past you, check it out!
Future Classic: Project: MOONCIRCLE “10th anniversary 4LP box compilation”
As soon as I heard about this Project: Mooncircle‘s 10 years anniversary collection, I couldn’t wait to hear it. For me, I mostly associated the label as the home for Robot Koch and the all records they put out were generally instrumental hiphop and a bit electronic in nature which …
Future Classic: Kenlo Craqnuques “Forêt Boréale Mixte”
Our man Kenlo Craqnuques keeps up the crazy pace we’re now used to from him. In fact, probably the only guy dishing out the niceness at this frequency is someone I like to compare Kenlo to a lot, the Beatkonducta known as Madlib. We’re happy to see “Forêt Boréale Mixte” …
Future Classic: Ali the Son of Abdul “Raja”
For those who follow this site closely, you may remember a post about Ali‘s EP series of instrumentals, Karma. The only real criticism that I could on it was that I wish it could have been a little longer. This 10 track album adresses that concern with a fresh batch …
Future Classic: JonWayne “Oddles of Doodles”
Jonwayne is an MC. Oddles of Doodles is beats. This is Jonwayne’s big badass beat tape for Stones Throw. Oodles is a double-CD, packaged in a 10×10-inch folded sleeve, with 48 tracks created over the past two years. I’ve been a fan of the dude for a little while now, I always thrown …

Download the complete Craqnuques collection from KENLO. Noir, Orange, Rose, Mauve, Bleu
Future Classic: Gonjasufi “MU.ZZ.LE”
The new album by Gonjasufi on Warp could be also considered his first. He’s been around for a long time but it also seems to me like the first time he’s not collaborating or in the shadow of anyone else. I first heard his high-pitched singing on Flying Lotus’ first …
Lexis’ Montreal Special on Lefto’s Radio Show (Belgium)
The homie LEFTO, one of the world best radio hosts and most eclectic tastemaker, asked up to put together a Montreal-only mix to showcase some of the best music that’s going on in the city these days. When I got asked to do this project by Lefto I knew it …
Future Classic: Kaytradamus “Kaytra Nada”
It’s no secret to our usual MIMS followers that young Kaytradamus is one of our favorite new producers around, and it just so happens that he’s from our hometown of Montreal. But make no mistake, we would be talking about him if he was from the Fiji Islands. Let’s face …
Future Classic: D33J “1752A”
Perfect soundtrack to the last snowy days of the year, D33J‘s calm and spacey style brings an appeasing break before the hectic rhythm of the upcoming months. Reminiscent of WeDitIt labelmates Shlohmo and Jonwayne‘s less eclectic productions, D33J still retains the essence of what defines the structure of the new …
