Montreal's Sam Lamar has been consistently making moves in the dubstep scene for over two years now and is showing no sign of slowing down. This year alone he's authored a remix of Illenium, dropped an EP on Uplink Audio and is now working towards an EP with Kannibalen. "The Magician" is from that forthcoming four track EP and establishes an unholy alchemy with creepy chords reminiscent of Rezz before its disgusting dub drops amidst all kinds of unhinged effects. Its power is pervasive and while it would be good enough to tease this episode of Bump In The Hump on its own, it's also a great fit as we look ahead to Nah Mean's new episode of My Mixtape, which includes six of Sam's tracks. Catch their episode this Saturday June 1st at 11 PM EDT, a clip of my conversation with the duo at the end of Bump In The Hump tonight, stream "The Magician" below and download it now here.While power may be the focal point of this sneak peek, the direction of tonight's show is more in the form of extended, tech driven tracks with more than a handful of house alongside sprinklings of disco, trance and more. Listen live from 7-9 PM EDT via Radio Humber or catch it after the fact with the entire back catalog on Mixcloud here.
