Future Classic: Jose James “Vicadin”
José James began the process of creation of “Blackmagic” with Los Angeles beat mangler Flying Lotus (Warp / Brainfeeder) in April 2008. Throwing all their ideas between east and west coast, this duo has produced a handful of experimental hip-hop beats & melodies. This future classic is no exemption. “Vicatin” is an another …
Forgotten Treasure: Teena Marie “Ooo La La La” (1988)
It was with great sadness that I learned that soul legend Teena Marie passed away at 54 years old two weeks ago. This sad news pushed me to share my first forgotten treasure, “Ooo La La La“. This single was released in 1988 and featured on her Platinum album “Naked to …
Forgotten Treasure: Kelis “Little Suzie” (2001)
Really cool forgotten little nugget from one of my faves, miss Kelis. This was taken from her second record which wasn’t even released in North America, the record really didn’t believe in it because there weren’t any clear cut singles. I’ve always loved this track produced by the Neptunes of …
Forgotten Treasure: Beatconductor “Sumthin Betta” (2006)
Since New Years Eve is right around the corner, I thought I’d share one of my favorite late night classics. This is one of the jams that you put on right before closing time when everything is just going right! It’s on that epic “we are the world” type shit. …

Forgotten Treasure: Vibe “No Blaggada” (1999)
Ok this is possibly one of the only good R&B tracks from France. Not saying the French aren’t good at that stuff, there are a few bands that were pretty dope, Les Nubians for one. But i’m not sure if I can remember one decent male R&B singer from France …
Forgotten Treasure: Johnny Guitar Watson “Gangster of Love” (Live in 1977)
Damn. Now this is that real shit. I was looking for a JGW track to share with you and I found this awesome live performance (Germany, 1977). First off, the intro is absolutely bananas. Then the rest, well… you can see why he inspired people like Hendrix and Zappa and …
Barry White “Ghetto Letto” (1980)
Yeah we all know our Barry White classics. Heavy Rotation on the Baby Makin’ tape no doubt. I wanted to propose another addition to that tape with this often overlooked track from his 1980 record called “Sheet Music”. Super bad ass soul business from BW. Used to play this a …
Guest Mix: Dj Sagewondah “BoogieBreaks vol.1”
Brand new 80’s heat from the man called Sagewondah. It’s pretty funny cause I’ve been running into Sage for about 10 years, us being to MTL Dj’s and all but for some reason we only started talking and hanging out these last few years. He’s a good dude, great DJ …
Forgotten Treasure: Roy Ayers “Love Will Bring Us Together” (1979)
Just thought i’d share one of my personal Roy Ayers favorite. It has always worked for me on pretty much any dance floor I’ve tried it on. Roy Ayers has performed and produced so many amazing jams in his career that a track like this is very often over looked. …
