Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #54

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:46:03 +0000

First MIMS Show of 2012 and the year is really starting off nicely, well musically speaking at least. We at MusicIsMySanctuary.com are now entering our 5th year and we’re very happy that the site is still growing, so thank you for being a part of it!

Show #54 is mostly new music ranging from the soulful to the weirdo abstract and everything in between. We love each of these 30 tracks and think they all have something wonderful about them.

Important Note: We are doing our second edition of what started out as a pretty crazy idea: broadcast (audio / video) for 24 hours straight of VINYL ONLY! It’s happening on Friday February 3rd (8pm Montreal time) to Saturday (8pm Montreal time)

Much Love,
Lexis

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #52

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:40:03 +0000

Here is over an hour and a half of the best of our musical discoveries. In this edition it is mostly about new tracks but there are a few disco, rare groove and northern soul classics hidden in there! Big big thanks to everyone who listened to the last show, it truly gives me the motivation to share all these treasures (not that I was lacking any!) So here are 32 tracks that I really think are all beautiful in their way. Absolutely no filler in there. Might I suggest one thing though? No weak laptop speakers to listen to this one!! Do it justice and play it loud.

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #51

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 19:01:04 +0000

I took an extra week to make show #51 because since I only do the MIMS show once a month I want to absolutely love every track on there. So here it is, this month’s selection of over 30 tracks are some of my best discoveries. Although most of the shows are pretty eclectic in nature, some like this one are heavier on certain themes. The selection generally tends to follow the gigs that i’m playing during those few weeks. So seeing as in October I played a couple of really cool events more of the “beats” side of things I thought I’d share some of those with you.

There are tracks from all over the world on show #51 but I also wanted to point out that there are 5 tracks on the mix from my hometown of Montreal! Big up to Akua, High-Klassified, ShashU, Alaclair Ensemble & Bowly.

Tracklist:
01. Katalyst ft. Spacek – What About Us
02. Jose James – Trouble (Oh No Remix)
03. Thundercat - 200 TB (Japan Bonus Track)
04. DBridge – So Lonely (Morgan Zarate Remix)
05. Kendrick Lamar & Nosaj Thing – Cloud 10
06. Onra – Flight or Die
07. NasRocksWell – BendinCorners
08. Ras G – Star Messengers
09. Abby Lee Tee – Hungry Cats (Swede:Art Remix)
10. Flote – You Had to Wait
11. KidKanevil – Keroro Platoon
12. Modeselektor – Berlin
13. Alaclair Ensemble – Colibris
14. High Klassified – Snap
15. Shash’U – Princess
16. Dimlite – Sophisticated Youth
17. Games – Back in time
18. Blackpocket – Thank Yous & Credits

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #50

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:29:25 +0000

Pfew! I can’t believe I’ve made it to show #50. Time flies…

What started out of very humble beginnings has evolved into the focal point of MusicIsMySanctuary.com. A monthly highlight and recap of my tireless research for those special songs, new and old. Everytime I make a MIMS show I try to showcase the best tracks I’ve discovered and that’s the reason that I only do it once a month; I really want to be passionate about every track on there. Sometimes a show is more electronic, other times more organic or soulful but I believe always has the same amount of awesomeness that deserves to be shared and cherished.

Show #50 will mostly feature new stuff just because I have so many exclusive and unreleased joints to share. Thanks so much for the support these past 4 years. Your feedback give me the energy to keep digging and sharing the treats. Cheers!

MIMS #50 is a collaboration with Laidback Radio from Belgium!

I had the pleasure today of playing for 3 hours on CKUT Radio in Montreal, my favorite radio station growing up in Montreal (i still remember taping hip-hop shows on friday nights when I was 14).

So, let me start off by saying a big thank you to all of you for supporting the site and behing park of a wonderful community of music heads!

The 2nd & 3rd hours were part of the usual time slot that belongs to my good friends Andy Williams & Scott C and their essential show called The Goods, a weekly class that you need to take! I decided to make my 2 hours spent on their show to be focused on my “forgotten treasures” section! These are some of the tracks from a few years back that I love but have never gotten a chance to play.

The 1st hour belonged to the regular time slot of Moontarr & Tash‘s show (every 2nd sunday from 1-2) which is called “Future Classic Radio” so it made sense to me that I would focus the first hour on my most recent discoveries.

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #47

Sorry for the little delay but show #47 is finally here and to make up for it’s an extended one! Just under 2 hours of goodies from all angles!

Digging through piles and piles of very average (at best) music can be a pretty draining process and it can actually make you hate music at times. But it’s'all worth it once you find that gem! I’m prepared to fight to the death to defend every single track on the MIMS Podcasts!

Hope you dig it!

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #46 (Live on Radio-Canada)

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 23:48:44 +0000

Yes, I know it’s been a while since the last “official” podcast. Shit, i’ve even been getting hate mail! “When’s #46 out??!!”… Well, in my defence the last two mixes (the Beats mix and the UK Garage Classics mix) kind of where unofficial shows ok!

So for this one, I thought i’d share my mix that I was asked to do for the Bande À Part show at the Radio-Canada studios (the equivalent of the BBC in Canada). Other than the fact that I love doing radio shows this was a special event for me for personal reasons. I’m actually the fourth person in my family to perform or work at Radio-Canada. My grandmother wrote plays and television shows, my grandfather is a composer and producer and my dad is a musician and composer… so it was a real thrill to play in a place with so much history!

Hope you like the show, I only had an hour to play with, so this is what I chose to play!

For landmark show #30 I decided to bring my recorder to a gig I just did with the ESL Crew‘s dubstep, garage and grime night. This was definitely one of my favorite gigs of the year mostly because I rarely get to play this kind of stuff and its such a big part of my background as a DJ. I started out my first 3-4 years dj-ing 2step and UK Garage and it was a constant battle to explain to peeps in Montreal what the hell it does.

No need to explain anything to the ESL bwoys, they know their stuff in and out. On top of that Bus and Skinnybones are both cool chaps! Anywhooo… this mix is probably not for everyone but here it is anyways…

The Travels of Igor Sleepypants | MIMS x OLDgOLD

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:38:05 +0000

This is the first time I do a special guest for someone, and who better to start with than my long time homie Jonah Leslie and his boutique / brainchild OLDgOLD. His space is truly a little universe full of life, check it out here: www.OLDgOLDBOUTIQUE.com.

So hmm, this podcast kind of needs an explanation in order to justify why I want you to invest over 2 hours of your time (yes, its the longest i’ve done). Basically, a while back I got the idea of doing a mix that would kind of be inspired by a night of sleep. So you have mellow and spacey stuff , but you also have wild and wacky stuff for when you’re dreaming about being in a secret mission to save the Princess in Super Mario 1 with under 100 seconds. Anyways, you get the idea… I hope

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #27 (Live w/Dâm-Funk)

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:12:35 +0000

For those who missed it here is my recorded set from the night I played with L.A’s true funkster DAM-FUNK @ Club Lambi in Montreal. It was a true honor to rock it with someone that doesn’t just talk the whole “for the love” thing. On top of being a dope producer, performer (the guy Dj’s a track, then signs over it, gives props to the record thats playing, then to top it all off, he busts out the synth-axe) the guy is just a class act to everyone. I’m just glad I got to play before him and not after hahah…

I got to play a lot of stuff that I rarely get a chance to, lots of 80′s boogie, some disco, classic hip-hop. Publishing live sets is tricky so please consider the effect of everyone having had 1-2 too many drinks, including myself.

Tracklist
01. Ras G – Juju
02. Computer Jay – Epiphany
03. Thriller – Freak for you
04. Detroit Experiment – Highest

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #26 (Reggae Classics v2)

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 03:52:03 +0000

Pfew! Finally Pod 26 is here… sorry for the delay but when I took on the task of making another Reggae special I kind of forgot how long it took me to do the first one.

Just to clear things up a little, I am by no means a Reggae Dj. This is simply a collection of some of my favorite jams, and the point for me is not to necessarily go into super rare shit… it’s just to share with you some of my sacred treasures. For everyone who loved the first one hope this one doesn’t disappoint. As for the nubies, Pod #04 was all the way back in 2007! You can check it here.

As always when I do a theme oriented podcast, I try to not use my awesome FM voice to ruin the fun This mix fits on a 80 minute CD, so burn this baby and bring it to the beach!

Music Is My Sanctuary – Show #24

lexis@musicismysanctuary.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:06:59 +0000

Really sorry for the delay but my “offline” life (the one that actually pays the bills) has been pretty crazy lately. Took a new job and had to travel quite a bit these last couple weeks. Sooo… just want to let you know that I am posting #24 right now but 25 & 26 should come very soon, i’m almost finished with those. Podcast #24 is another theme oriented show, the next one will get back to the usual all-over the place goodness.

This edition is all about a beautiful hot summer day. You’re preparing yourself a nice quick little mixtape for the car ride to the beach or some music to go shoot hoops, barbecue cook-outs and so on… Summer only last about 2 months in Montreal so you gotta make every single second count! So here you are, some of my favorite summery hip-hop joints, no talking, lazy mixing but straight goodness.
