Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: CFCF - Cell Site In Somerset

A couple weeks back we had the title track of CFCF's Self Service EP, and with its full release this past weekend I'm excited to open Bump In The Hump with its epic A-side "Cell Site In Somerset." Once again we're treated to CFCF's enigmatic and exceptional production style, one that earned him a Grammy nomination for his remix of "Berlin By Overnight." In this EP, and track more specifically, we get a taste of his delightfully diverse sounds ranging from stringed orchestral elements to stinging acid whips. And while you may think these two couldn't be more polar opposites, it is CFCF's genius that seamlessly sews them together. Its grandeur reminds me of Pete Tong and Jules Buckley's Ibiza Classics/Classic House albums which too curry the cachet of an orchestra with the unvarnished vivacity of electronic dance music. Stream "Cell Site In Somerset" and purchase the EP via Bandcamp below.After this epic opening number, Bump In The Hump continues with more of the best in new Canadian dance and electronic including funky cuts from Robotaki and Verzache, as well as the seemingly weekly dose of disco delights from Spacedisco Records. Another Canadian label also comes up big with BETON's "Directions" on Turbo Recordings, which kicks off the decidedly darker second hour of the show. There's some banging bass house and more DnB, including man of the moment Rene LaVice. Finally the fire finale sees the likes of Feed Me's "Blood Red" getting a reboot before Black Tiger Sex Machine tears the place down. All this and more live from 7-9 PM EST on Radio Humber or via Mixcloud after the fact.
