Skratch Bastid “The Entertainer”
Mixtapes and DJ mixes in 2011 have become a pretty trivial thing. Thousands are released every month and to be honest, very few are even worth your attention. Which is why I don’t share a lot of them with you all. To me a good mixtape is a nice blend …
DIBIASE in Montreal – Video
For anyone who was in Montreal last week and got stopped by a little thing called rain, let me tell you one thing. You seriously missed out! Our guest DIBIASE straight from California was in Montreal for the first time and let’s just say he left a lasting impression to …
Future Classic: Pac Div “Fallin”
Not always the biggest fan of groups like Pac Div, Cool Kids, etc… They sometimes seen to be more known for the fresh gear they’re wearing rather than the actual music output. I do love this jam though, nice re-interpretation of Andre 3000’s “Prototype”.
Big Daddy Kane – The Documentary

Future Classic: Grizzly Discovery Remix Year of the Satellite
Written by: Max Robin Good remixes that aren’t at the same level of the originals are sadly quite often the case. That being said some “perfect” work doesn’t need reworking. Of course the marketing department likes the idea of another big name not far from the song but it’s certainly …
Future Classic: Action Bronson “Bon Appetit… Bitch” Mixtape
Wowza. Ok i’m a few months late with this one but I couldn’t not share this with you all. Action Bronson who I didn’t know about before this comes out swinging for the fence with this absolutely deadly 34 track (!) mixtape backed by J-Love. I haven’t been this excited …
Forgotten Treasure: Brother Jack McDuff “Oblighetto”(Jay Dee Remix)
Hello hello….ok, who wants some Dilla in daily healthy diet of music? I know….it’s more like who doesn’t, right? 11th Track of Dillanthology 2, recently I’ve been in love with this track. While the album was released in 2009, I don’t know what year exactly this remix was produced, except …
