Future Classic: U-N-I “Donkey Kong” (Produced by Dibia$e)
I’m always a sucker for a good Super Nintendo 8bit beat every now and then… I don’t know all that much about U-N-I other than they are from Inglewood, California. I do however keep close tabs on DIBIA$E productions. He’s another one of those ridiculously talented Los Angeles guys. Seriously, …
Forgotten Treasure: LL Cool J “I Need Love” (1988)
I always over looked this track because it just sounds sooo dated. That’s until I saw a documentary on LL a few weeks ago and there was this segment on the Bigger and Deffer album which was his second and how he was scared to death that “I Need Love” …
Future Classic: Wagon Christ “Manalyze this”
I don’t have to tell you how much I am excited for this new release. I am such a Luke Vibert groupie. Always loved everything he does under his multiple aliases: Kerrier District, Ace of Clubs, Plug, and in this case Wagon Christ. “The one and only Luke Vibert returns …
Guru “Le Bien, Le Mal” ft. MC Solaar (1993)
I was in a Gang Starr & Guru listening blitz and I stumbled upon this so I thought I’d share it with you all. I always had massive respect for Guru as an MC but also for his vision and dedication with his Jazzmatazz project. He did about 4 volumes …

Future Classic: Morgan Zarante “Hookid EP”
First Hyperdub drop of 2011 – a stone cold future funk winner from Spacek’s Morgan Zarate. Over the last few years he’s cropped up on the Beat Dimensions and Fat City’s Producer #1 comps, from where his ‘M.A.B’ neck-snapper was lifted and sifted into Kode 9’s DJ-Kicks mix. Opening statement …

Future Classic: Prince Po “Right to know” ft. Large Professor
Real talk from Prince Po right here. True story, a few years ago I was DJing my usual friday night spot with my partner Sevdee when at about 2:50am he turns to me and says yo isn’t that Prince Po on the dancefloor? Yes, it was. Well, at least we …
