John De Buck aka
Apashe has had a big year. His first offering, the wild 3 track
Requiem EP kept us satisfied until he tapped one of its vocalists in
Black Prez for "
Do It" in September. Both of those releases aside, this week may be
Apashe's biggest of the year. Today he drops the video for "
Majesty" with
Wasiu (see
here), which follows the killer cover/remix of Nina Simone's "
Feeling Good" alongside fellow Montreal talent in
Cherry Lena. Obviously dark and destructive, the contrast in the music and vocals is what makes this take so strong. Like
Requiem it's a little different from your normal fare, but the big bounding trap strides give a weightless feel much like the titular sensation of "
Feeling Good." Catch it in the mix on
Bump In The Hump tonight, and pick it up from your favourite retailer
here.
Tonight's episode is truly jam packed with many of my favourite artists of the year and some of the best releases including a number of exceptional EPs from
Chali 2na,
Wizard Of,
Lingopolus,
Just John x
Dom Dias,
Ricco Harver,
Jacques Greene and others. That selection alone should be a good indication of how wide the sounds range tonight. Closing the episode is a clip of my conversation with
OAKS, ahead of his episode of
My Mixtape this Saturday at 11 PM EST. Catch it all live from 7-9 PM EST on
Radio Humber or cataloged after the fact via Mixcloud
here.
