This one was made with Cold Busted in mind — a funky, sample-driven beat built for the sound that label was just beginning to define. For whatever reason, it never made it onto their roster and lived quietly in my archives instead.

Now it feels like a snapshot of that moment in time: dusty grooves, 80s-soaked nostalgia, and the spirit of independent labels finding new ways to share timeless beats.

Fifteen-plus years later, 80s Vibes finally sees daylight as part of the Lost Dubs series — a little “what if” from 2008, now out in the world.

Lost Dubs 017 - 80s Vibes (2008)

DJ/producer since 1997, Toronto-born accomplice is a proudly genre-fluid selector with deep roots in Montreal’s underground.

From early residencies with iDJ and Junglist Fridays at Blue Dog, to his time in South Korea where he held down slots at Vinyl Underground (Busan), Konkrete Jungle Seoul, and festivals like Pentaport, accomplice has always thrived where bass meets boundary-pushing energy.

Now based lakeside in cottage country north of Toronto, accomplice continues to move dance floors in unexpected ways—bridging decades of influence through sets that blend depth, soul, and surprise.
