Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Cameron Morse - Anything

One of the best holiday traditions comes from LuckyMe, who share 12 previously unreleased or rare tracks via their Advent Calendar. This year's edition is as stacked as ever, playing host to the likes of Jacques Greene, Mssingno, A. G. Cook, S-Type, Lunice, Nathan Micay, Martyn Bootyspoon, Hudson Mohawke and others. While we'll be playing more than one of these tracks on Bump In The Hump, here we're focusing on the calendar's capstone, Cameron Morse's "Anything."

A track I first heard in Martyn Bootyspoon's July Crack Mix, "Anything," then labelled as "gen_1v_2," was an instant standout for me. It appears immediately after "Time To Time," another forthcoming Love Minus Zero (Tiga & Hudson Mohawke) production; the two tracks blend perfectly, making it one of my favourite sections of the year. Both sparse and beautiful, it's hard not to be affected by such a simple yet soulful serenade. Emanating from the fog of "Time To Time," "Anything" arises like an old AI program awakening from a decades-long slumber. It struggles to recapture its form and execute its program, coughing and sputtering in spectacular fashion. While alone, it might appear frail and faulty, in the context of this mix, and hopefully so in Bump In The Hump tonight, it works wonders to inspire movement and welcome the next wave.

Get "Anything" as part of LuckyMe's 2020 Advent Calendar here, catch it in the mix as Bump In The Hump returns to the Radio Humber airwaves live tonight from 7-9 EST, or after the fact on Mixcloud.
