Future Classic: Collucutor “Instead” (On The Corner Records)
Fantastic debut LP from Collucutor, the new jazz ensemble led by Tamar Osborn on sax and alto flute with production duties handled by Emanative. You might have heard one track on our last MIMS monthly radio show (link) but frankly the LP is so great that we had to also …
Classic Grime Riddims – Mix by Son Raw
You already know we’re huge fans of UK Garage and its family tree of sub-genres. Although we have lots of love for Grime (both the foundations and current sounds) it’s the one style that we feel we need more digging into. We reached out to our man Son Raw who is …

Future Classic: Munro “BYOG/SIDWIR”
Very nice EP filled with summery vibes courtesy of young London-based producer Munro on the up and coming XVI Records out of Vancouver, Canada. Mid-tempo or Slow Deep House is a tricky thing. For me it’s sometimes very hard to differentiate the tracks that are 9’s and 10’s from the …
Forgotten Treasure: Belle Epoque “Sorry” (1977)
A good friend of mine has a true and soulful heart despite her black only wardrobe, monstrous spiked platform heels and red lipstick. She is the only girl I know who will play me Ahmad Jamal over a candle lit dinner, without my persuasion. The girl knows the way to …

Back at it for another edition of my weekly Voyage Funktastique radio show, plus a special all-vinyl set by ASMA (in the second half of the show), I wanted to play the title track of the new Brian Ellis‘ EP, Reflection, just released a few weeks ago on Voltaire Records. It’s a …
Future Classic: Le Loup “I Keep Secrets”
It has become very apparent to me that a lot of contemporary music I hear comes from somewhere else. Music is re-used, rep-appropriated, sampled, and tweaked and the result is something slightly different and new. Unless you care to know the source, or can recognize it, the music goes masked …
