Kaytranada “Juniper”
via HW&W: Got to hear a lot of new music from Kaytranada while he was in LA this past week.. Here’s an unreleased banger from the man himself. #HWW #SQUAD
Mix of the Day: Soulection “Show #125 w/ Ta-ku, Kaytranada, & Bahwee”
via Soulection: What a week-end it’s been! It all started when Ta-ku and I hung out in Highland Park (LA) and chilled with Eric Coleman (Mochilla). We had a chance to visit Stones Throw! Very inspiring. Shouts to Coleman for that one. Ta-ku is definitely one of the realest individuals …
Future Classic: Letherette “Letherette” (Ninja Tune)
Ever since we discovered them on a pair of EP’s on Ho_Tep Records (affiliated with Eglo) we’ve been madly in love with Letherette‘s work. The duo’s productions sounds like bits and pieces of a ton of different influences (Onra, Luke Vibert, Todd Edwards, Thomas Banghalter, Modeselektor) but the sum of …
Future Classic: L’Orange “Speakeasy”
Perhaps it’s the crackles and hiss, the sway and the swagger, or the lunge and the lean, that make this track stand out. Perhaps it’s the loving use of film noir dialogue that brings the imagination into a familiar but distant environment. Perhaps it’s the moody atmosphere and its abrupt …
Future Classic: Submerse “Algorithms and Ghosts”
First things first. I must apologize because I misled you dear readers in a previous post about Submerse‘s Tears EP. After some inquiring, I found out that Submerse is English but lives in Japan. That make some sense since the sound on this EP makes me think of another sweet record …
Free Download: Unlog “A Tribute to Ravi Shankar”
I don’t talk often about the music I make as a beatmaker but I’m part of a wonderful project to pay hommage to a great musician who passed away last December. Unlog – A tribute to Ravi Shankar consists of 12 original beats by 12 producers sampling the work of …

Future Classic: Kaytranada “Kaytra Todo”
You love to hear the story, again and again. The promising up-and-comer, young enough to be in touch with the spirit of the times, wise enough to carry on tradition, as he rises through the ranks and aces every test for us to see. For those like myself, that’s exactly …
Future Classic: Oh No “Disruptive Ads”
There is no doubt that OH NO‘s escapade with the Alchemist as part of the Gangrene duo seems to have made him a bit “harder” in his sound. The Stones Throw family is very present on the new solo album called “Disruptive Ads” (out on Fat Beats), in the form …
Karriem Riggins “Chopped Worm”
Karriem Riggins tribute to Leroy “Sugarfoot” Bonner (1943-2013) “My idea was to chop a song that is so important to hip hop and also pay homage to 1 of the funkiest groups from one of the funkiest states. Ohio Players’ music will forever be relevant! RIP Sugarfoot.” Karriem Riggins lives …
Kaytranada “LFTF Guest Mix”
via LiveForTheFunk.com: “As much as it feels weird to even use the phrase “beat scene” in 2013, you’d be hard pressed to find something more representative of this archaic term than what’s going on in Montreal, Canada right now. Seemingly out of nowhere, a thriving crop of up and coming …
Future Classic: Souleance “La Beat Tape”
The difference between an album and a “beat tape” is very open to interpretation, everyone has their own definition. In this case, the new offering by French duo Souleance (DJ Soulist and Fulgeance) called La Beat Tape, seems a little rougher around the edges at first listen then last year’s La …
