MOOVMNT “Glimmering Fractions : Mix 06 Pearl”
The “Glimmering Fractions” mixes from the Moovmnt.com crew has very quickly grown into one of the mix series that i’m truly excited about. It’s a great extension of what they are all about: next level soul music. And as far as that sound goes, they are pretty much the kings …
Future Classic: Gregory Porter “1960 What”
What can I say The Goods never disappoints! Last night I made my way over to our local 10 year strong and still bumping monthly to get my dance and music fix and yet again I came out super schooled. This month’s edition had Jason Palma, Stuart Li & General …

Future Classic: Label Love Compilation “Vol.4”
These days in the music industry, the words free and compilation don’t capture my attention as much as they used to. A record can be 30$ on Bandcamp like the most recent LP from Japan’s Jazz Collection and i’ll buy it if it’s good. So the most important characteristic remains …

Forgotten Treasure : Diane Tell “En pleurer ou en rire” (1977)
Producers of soulful and funky musique Québecoise during the late 70s and early 80s weren’t so numerous. I’m thinking of the duo JF William & Serge Laporte known as Bill, Georges Thurston also known as Boule Noire who ran the Magique record label around that time. As for female singers/composers, …

If you’re like me, you may have a decent chunk of records in your collection that, for one reason or another, have yet to be discovered. When it comes to music I tend to bite off more than I can chew, but somewhere deep in my subconscious I know that …
