Free Download: Boards of Canada “Untitled” (Machinedrum Edit)
“I’ve always been a massive fan of Boards of Canada, if its not obvious already! 10-11 years ago I stumbled upon a bootleg recording of one of their extremely rare live performances at the Warp 10 Birthday party in 1999. The closing tune at this show has always remained a …

Future Classic: Andrew Ashong & Theo Parrish “Flowers”
For some reason I use the term “next-level” soul quite often even if I understand that’s it’s pretty much open to interpretation. When I use it I think of people like Shafiq Husayn and the Sa-Ra guys, Plantlife, Taylor Mcferrin, Spacek and so on. To me it’s the kind of …

MOOVMNT “Glimmering Fractions : Mix 08 Peridot”
I’m seriously starting to run out of words to express how much we’re loving the mix series by the MOOVMNT boys from Amsterdam, so i’m going to let them use their own words: “Breathtaking sparkles, glimmering fractions. What melodical madness causes such satisfaction?” Another summer edition coming your way on …
Future Classic: Submerse “Tears EP”
Project: Mooncircle are pretty much kings when it comes to releasing really cool instrumental hiphop slash electronic music projects. I’m especially a big fan of Robot Koch’s music which is, in my opinion, the best representation of their sound. However I’m thinking that there is a lot more to Mooncircle than …
Buddy “Idle Time” (Produced by Pharrell)

Forgotten Treasure: KLYMAXX “Don’t Hide Your Love” (1982)
You could say Klymaxx was ahead of its time. The all-female band was brandishing the girl power ideology a decade before the onset of riotgrrl or the appearance of leather-clad starlets like Avril Lavigne. They released albums with titles such as “Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman” and “Girls …
Future Classic: Tomato Jonez “Penny Hardaway Tape & more…”
Ok i’m blaming the homie Joe Kay from Soulection for this absolutely addictive new discovery called Tomato Jonez. If you haven’t yet, you really should start checking out the Soulection radio show which is always absolutely packed with that next level beats stuff we all like. With way too much …
Future Classic: Jayson Brothers “MCDE 1209”
Now this is our kind of house music right here. That late 90’s sound à la Mood II Swing with a new school twist. A really simple approach to house music that hits all the right spots. A really big EP from from the Motor City Drum Ensemble camp. Also …
Future Classic: Miles Bonny “2011 Bootlegs LP”
I’ve been meaning to write about this one for a while but ripping vinyl records sometimes seems like such a daunting task that it makes me months to actually do it. Well thankfully the record has now finally been posted on soundcloud so I can now share with you this …
Floating Points – The DJ-ing Interview
I went to check out Floating Points as part of the Mutek / Piknic outdoor day. I had missed him last time he was in town so I made sure not to sleep on this one. As with all my favorite producers I’m always worried that their DJ-ing skills might …
