After nearly 8 months of quiet, Toronto's Peter Bennett broke the
Bensley silence with last month's "
Slither." He's back again now with a brassy jazz take on DnB in "
Under The Sunshine." Propelled through clairvoyant vocals, the track exudes a bold and beautiful purpose. It's snappy, and oh so strong, truly a terrific turn of
Bensley's brilliance. "
Under The Sunshine" seems to bring so much together, while remaining relatively simple, as it often is in DnB. It's triumphant, yet bluesy; live feeling, yet electronically produced. Maybe best of all, it exemplifies the power of sunshine. Bask below.
Bensley hits at about a 3 of a possible 4 on this week's episode of
Bump In The Hump. We start with some deep house, get a little dreamy, head into some future bass and chiptune, before the fire finale of DnB, dubstep and a whole other host of hard hitters. There's 4 artists getting first plays, including
Alice Glass (previously of
Crystal Castles) with her debut eponymous EP. Other big names include
Datsik,
Dzeko, and
Kaytranada, with favourites
Lambo,
MDK, and
Sam Lamar also dropping new tracks. Catch the live broadcast from 6-7 PM EDT via
Radio Humber (
