Forgotten Treasure: Aaliyah “If Your Girl Only Knew” (The New Remix) (1996)
We here at MIMS would love to send out a warm thought to Aaliyah who would have celebrated her 34th birthday today. She left much too soon (at age 22) and we can only imagine all amazing music she could have put out… There have been a ton of remixes, …
Future Classic: DJ Day “Mama Shelter”
The good homie, DJ Day, has a new album dropping soon, and to say I’m ecstatic is an understatement. On top of being a world class producer that garners praise from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jeremy Sole and Lefto, Day, hands down, is one of the best DJ’s on …

Forgotten Treasure: Neptunes & Vanessa Marquez “Good Girl” (2003)
I could probably do a few forgotten treasures selections of my favorite overlooked productions from the Neptunes but I’ll stick to this one for now, although I need to do one on Mase’s “Lookin At Me”, their first hit single that started the great years that followed. “Good Girl” with …
Forgotten Treasure: Gino Soccio “Who Dunnit?” (1982)
I love listening to Gino Soccio. If you want to get into Italo Disco but don’t know where to start, I’d say Gino Soccio should be one of the first thing you get your hands on. Fellow MIMS writer Matt Englund already highlighted this under rated disco monster with his …
