I've been a fan of
Pat Lok ever since I came across his allerg-edit of
Cashmere Cat's "
Kiss Kiss," and have been supporting his productions on
Radio Humber for years now. This past Friday, Pat dropped his debut full length album
Hold On Let Go. We've already heard some of the tracks on
Bump In The Hump before ("
My Own Throne," "
You Street," "
In The Night" and "
Oh No"), but tonight I've got perhaps my favourite cut from the 13 track package. "
Stay Together" is, at least for me, the ultimate
Pat Lok production. It boasts brilliant sound design, built around strong sultry vocals, and the kind of reach-for-the-sky ecstasy that feels as though it's ripped right out of the days when disco reigned supreme. It'll have you longing for that lost love, wanting to pick up the phone and reach out to repair the relationship. Disco and house music is all about letting love run free, an ethos on full display here.
Joining this precious track from
Pat Lok, are further disco vibes from
Dom Dias, a club cut from
Jacques Greene's
Feel Infinite Remixes, and a bluesy jazz house track from
bedroomer's
Hudson Alexander. There's also some more banger type tracks on this episode of
Bump In The Hump including
Lazy Rich,
Eff That,
Vincent,
Leterna and
Ephwurd, who are set to play
Velvet Underground July 1st with support from
Marco Marz (RSVP & Tickets
here). Listen to the full hour of new Canadian tunes,
live on
Radio Humber from 6-7 PM EDT.
