There's just something about Canadians and dark bass tracks. Whether it's a result of the weather, lack of sunlight or something entirely different, there's no shortage of sinister sounds being produced by Canucks. Of course there's the queen of darkness herself,
Rezz, and
No Neon don,
Hunter Siegel, but equally ominous and infernal is Sherbrooke's
Wraz. We've heard him twice here on
Bump In The Hump, but this week he's back with his most inventive and ingenious production to date. "
Spin" was created entirely through his recordings of a fidget spinner. All the elements: kicks, bass, snare; everything is the sound of a fidget spinner, not one single synth. This is an incredible achievement, very much so in line with the ethos of electronic music; it's about experimentation and the manipulation of atypical sounds and instruments into a more typical track.
Wraz's passion for producing is clear, not just in "
Spin," but the relentless rate at which new tracks are released. Stream it below and follow him
here.
As you might expect, there's a hearty helping of heinous and all around dark tracks on
Bump In The Hump tonight. But fear not, there's a sizable serving of sublime and soulful disco and funky feels. Big names include
Pat Lok,
Tennyson,
Daphni,
Ramzoid,
Snails,
CRaymak and
Botnek. Plus we look forward to a couple incredible shows with a remix of
Sinjn Hawke, and a killer beat from
Eytan Tobin, who joins the
Fractal Fantasy bill Friday night. In addition I've got a remix of
Keys N Krates who join the star studded lineup for
RELIEF, tonight at
Velvet Underground. As always you won't want to miss the epic amount of new music from our great, albeit aphotic, Canadians.
Bump In The Hump runs live from 6-8 PM EDT on
Radio Humber, stream
