Future Classic: Andy Stott “Luxury Problems”
Oh my gawwwd. Andy Stott rules my world. I fell in love the british producers’ work in the mid 2000’s when I bought an EP on his on Modern Love which has since become one of my favorite labels around (Claro Intelecto and Pendle Coven are also regulars). I absolutely …
Future Classic: Cosmin TRG “A Universal Crush”
This is it! My first post on MIMS and I must say I’m quite honored to be part of this community of music connoisseurs. Listening to it all and appreciating sound in all its glory and its genres. Now where do I come in? Well about 3 years ago, I …
Future Classic: Randomer “Scruff Box / Get Yourself Together” (Hemlock)
Holy shit! Now that’s what I’m talking about. Enough with the R&B samples and the weak sounding drums. Let’s get back to the RAW with this amazing new 12″ from Randomer. Hemlock is usually one of our favorite labels but this one has to rank right up there amongst their …
Future Classic: Objekt “Cactus / Porcupine” (Hessle Audio)
Now this is one EP we’ve been waiting for impatiently! OBJEKT is one of the freshest new producers on the block really knocked us out in 2011 with his lean and minimal brand of techno meets dubstep. In fact, we picked “Tinderbox” as one of our favorite tracks of 2011. …
Future Classic: Gravious “Spatial Dimensions EP”
I first came across Gravious when he released the Junction City EP about a year ago. Mixing all the niceties of techno with the accessibility of dubstep is no small feat but this man seems to have managed to pull it off. In doing so he combines a bouncy experimental …
Future Classic: Lorca “Hold Back”
If anyone said there’s a seasonality to certain music , I wouldn’t disagree. Surely good music can be enjoyed regardless of time and place, yet sometimes it’s all about a specific mood that a certain kind of music evokes. I first came across Lorca’s ‘Hold Back’ in the summer through …
Future Classic: Blawan “Peaches”
Wowza. After a breakout year Blawan is closing 2011 in a very strong way with a 12″ on Clone Records out of Holland. The approach is more straight forward than his usual stuff but is absolutely essential for all the Techno heads. 2011 has been a pretty amazing music for …
Pearson Sound / Ramadanman “BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix”
Myself and Guilty had the pleasure of playing with David aka Pearson Sound / Ramadanman last spring in Montreal and it was great to witness a guy that’s as interesting behind the decks and he is behind the production board. And lord knows he’s one of the dopest producers of …
Future Classic: A Made Up Sound “Take The Plunge” (AMS 005)
If you’re not already familiar with Dave Huismans’ work, the man behind broken-beat moniker 2562 and dub techno alias A Made up Sound, you have a lot of catching up to do. Fresh off the release of his THIRD full length album as 2562 “Fever”, Huismans’ creative flow cannot be …
Future Classic: Andy Stott “We Stay Together” EP
I have so much love for Andy Stott. A very underrated producer who you should get to know if you like stuff like Nicolas Jaar, Burial, Demdike Stare, Rhythm & Sound, Kassem Mosse and so on. Early October in Montreal means it’s getting colder, days are already getting shorter and …

MIMS Guest Mix: DJ LUV (Montreal)
Luv is one of the guys in Montreal who I respect a lot as a DJ and music head. First off cause he’s been in this thing longer than I have (respect your elders hehe) but mostly because I respect his generosity and love of sharing his uncovered nuggets. I …
