Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Carlo Lio & Nathan Barato - Girl Meets Boy

It's our last show before the official start to summer, and we've got vibes for days. As usual, Bump In The Hump will run the gamut of genres tonight with an assortment of acid, breaks, DnB, funk, garage and more. Those that follow the show closely will know that this week also marks the return of My Mixtape, and it's because of that that we end tonight's episode with the latest from the power pairing known as The Roaches, Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato.

Released on Rawthentic, a favourite label of Marco Roberto (the M of MAP), "Girl Meets Boy" is a seven-minute-long masterclass in the interweaving intricacies of top-notch tech house. Always adding and subtracting sounds while further playing with the percussion and samples, this is no straightforward ride but rather an irresistibly circuitous creation. The perfect track to conclude tonight's episode, immediately before a clip of my conversation with Marco, Ayge and PRZM of MAP as Marco extols the virtues of Lio and Barato later in our interview. Catch the second edition of My Mixtape featuring MAP Saturday at 11 PM EDT on Radio Humber, and buckle in for tonight's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 EDT, or find it after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud, here.

Full, Uncut Interview with MAP

Last week I rang up 2/3rds of the Winnipeg based house trio of MAP, PRZM and Mark Me Low (either end of the picture). We chatted about how MAP came to be, how Ayge and Mark Me Low introduced PRZM to house, their "underground" take on house, where they want to take things (in regards to releases and performances), and of course their episode of My Mixtape, which airs this Saturday October 13th at 11 PM EDT on Radio Humber. Hear their forthcoming track "Rewr" in this week's episode of Bump In The Hump (here), follow their socials and stream our Skype chat below.FOLLOW MAP: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Leterna - Heartbeat

It has been over a year since we last heard from Leterna, but this Monday they returned with a bang. "Heartbeat," released as a copyright free, free download courtesy Bass Rebels, sees a return to the duo's roots in progressive house with a distinctly deadmau5/mau5trap vibe. It's got an incredible sheen with an equally intoxicating vocal opposed by a brilliant bass line. Without a doubt my favourite track from these two; hear it on Bump In The Hump tonight, stream below and download free here.
Joining Leterna on tonight's episode are two as of yet unreleased but forthcoming tracks, from two of my favourite rising house talents in Maddmon and, this week's guest on My Mixtape, MAP. As usual the episode ends with a clip of my conversation with the guests, this week it's two thirds of the Winnipeg trio of Mark Me Low, Ayge and PRZM, aka MAP. Of course there's still a ton more new music, both looking ahead to the weekend and welcoming new artists to the airwaves, so stay tuned for the likes of Attlas, Botnek, CYMN, Diana Boss and an astounding six artist debuts. Catch it all live from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud here.
