24 Hours of Vinyl #3 in Pictures
The third edition of the 24 Hours of Vinyl was another great success and we think we have a bit of a movement going on here. Over 4,000 listeners from all over the world tuned in to every show! Check out the pictures of the 3rd edition.
Future Classic: Evy Jane “Sayso”
Vancouver-based duo Evy Jane has revitalized my beat-starved soul with a single from their self-titled debut EP, “Sayso.” Vocalist Evelyn Mason and producer Jeremiah Klein have created a sound that is truly riveting, falling somewhere between the ethereality of Esthero and the edgy eclecticism of Flying Lotus. Their music would …
Future Classic: Gregory Porter “Be Good” (Lion’s Song)
First video from one of the records we were waiting impatiently for, Gregory Porter‘s new record called “Be Good” out on Motema music. We discovered him on his record called “Water” which had the absolute classic track called “1960 What“, which easily made it to our Best of 2011 list. …
Forgotten Treasure: Dorothy Ashby “Come Live With Me” (1968)
Sample digging is a science into itself, something that other websites like The Breaks and Who Sampled, so we try to not do too many sample oriented posts. But still, when you’re just listening to music while cleaning the house on a sunday afternoon and a 3 second melody strikes …
Future Classic: Robert Glasper Experiment “Fever” Ft. Hindi Zahra (Bonus Track)
For all the soul heads I think it’s safe to assume that Robert Glasper‘s “Black Radio” was one record that we were all waiting for impatiently ever since hearing the Badu track and hearing about the impressive roster of guests. Well, the record didn’t disappoint that for sure: one of …
Future Classic: Kenlo Craqnuques “Forêt Boréale Mixte”
Our man Kenlo Craqnuques keeps up the crazy pace we’re now used to from him. In fact, probably the only guy dishing out the niceness at this frequency is someone I like to compare Kenlo to a lot, the Beatkonducta known as Madlib. We’re happy to see “Forêt Boréale Mixte” …
Future Classic: Slakah the Beatchild “Wanna Do”
When picking future classics or forgotten treasures, we try to do our own thing and not just do the repost thing. What’s the point if every single site out there is getting excited about the new Burial or James Blake joint? Well, in this case we did “steal” the idea …
Forgotten Treasure: Metalheads “Terminator” (1992)
I don’t know how this nugget came to into my mind, but I was just in a digging and digging phase for new stuff to put on the MIMS Radio Show and I started to listen to all these new releases paying “homage” to elements of the early 90’s dance …
Future Classic: Jacques Greene “Arrow” (Concealer EP)
I just had this recommended to me by a friend. I’ve got some spare time this weekend so I knew I was going to blog about something. Here are a few of the reasons why I chose this track in particular. Firstly, it’s always nice when the drop in a …
Sparkz “Jacques de la Jungle” (Sparkz resync)
Very nice little re-edit from the Montreal homie Sparkz. He’s a very quiet dude but the guy has one of the best batting averages out there. Average meaning, the number of stuff he sends me of his VS the number that I like. In fact, his batting average is almost …
Forgotten Treasure: A Tribe Called Quest “Bonita Applebum” (1990)
Well actually I don’t really think I can say that ‘Bonita Applebum’ is forgotten treasure cause anyone who’s anyone in the hip-hop world has this track on replay every couple of months but after going to Phife’s show in Montreal this past Sunday and seeing the must-see documentary Beats, Rhymes …
Future Classic: James Blake “I Never Learnt To Share” (M-Phazes Remix)
Just heard about this new M-Phazes remix from Ta-Ku, another very talented Australian producer. I’m just starting to get into M-Phazes work, I put his track with Jean Grae as the opener of my last monthly MIMS Show (which is at 7,400 listens now by the way!). M-Phazes just put …
