D’Angelo “Left & Right (Moodprint Remix)” via Soulection
Recently we were listening to one of Lefto’s recent radio shows and discovered this blissful remix of D’Angelo’s ‘Left & Right’. Immediately we began to research the track and discovered that it was an unreleased gem created by the Leuven (Belgian) duo Alectric and Poldoore who go by ‘Moodprint’. We …
DJ EVO “Live in the mix – December 2012”

Numero Group: Omnibus: Vol.1 45×45 Boxset + Book
Numero Group, the purveyors of all things obscure and soulful have been hard at work for the last ten years giving us just that, sweet Soul Music in remastered, reissued form. For their 45th release, Numero compiled what could be considered the holy grail of Soul jams. Eccentric Soul: Omnibus …
Forgotten Treasure: Towa Tei – Technova / La em Copacabana (1996)
Last night I did something for the very first time. No, not that. Get your mind straight! I DJ-ed a trip-hop focused party in Montreal and it forced me to dig deep into records I used to love so much way back when. Pretty strange to think i’ve never done …
Forgotten Treasure: Musiq Soulchild “Just Friends” E-Smoove Remix (2000)
One of my favorite albums of this year (don’t worry, there won’t be a list) is undoubtedly Black Radio by Robert Glasper Experiment. I remember being stuck at the halfway mark because once I heard Ah Yeah (Feat. Musiq Soulchild And Chrisette Michele) I decided to get reacquainted with the …
Future Classic: The Internet “Give It Time”
After the release of their LP “Purple Naked Ladies” earlier this year, The Internet (Syd The Kid and Matt Martians), bring us a mellow track with their latest “Give It Time”. Plus, they’ve got Mike Einziger from Incubus playing guitar. I must say.. if this the direction the duo is …
Future Classic: Fiona Apple “Every Single Night” (MeLo-X ReMix)
I’m always a little bit suspicious of new producers these days, especially when my first introduction to them is via a remix they posted on soundcloud. Seems every time a new track comes out, or a legendary artist dies there are immediately 15 remixes that sound like they were done …
FRED EVERYTHING “Forgotten Treasures Mix #03″
Our third instalment of our forgotten treasure mix series is another great one and captures the idea perfectly. Our good friend Fred Everything who is a certified deep & funky house master: great producer and DJ whose played around the globe 15 times in his 10+ years in the game. Originally from Quebec …
Classic Mixes: Paul Nice “Soul on the Grill vol.2″ (2003)
Second instalment of my two favorite 80’s Boogie mixes called Soul on the Grill from NY’s Paul Nice, a name very well known by diggers but still somewhat slept on by the average listener. These Soul on the Grill mixtapes are pretty much the main reason why I’ve never done one …
Classic Mixes: Paul Nice “Soul on the Grill vol.1” (2003)
Hands down one of my favorite 70-80’s soul mixes ever. NYC’s Paul Nice is one guy that never disappoints on a mixtape. The programming is tight, the tracks aren’t the most obvious selections but aren’t rare for the sake of being rare nerd shit either. The transitions and scratches are …
Classic Mixes: Paul Nice vs Dj Muro “JFK to Narita” (2005)
Another very solid breaks, rare groove and soul mixtape. In this classic face off Paul Nice from NYC goes against Dj Muro from Japan.
