A couple weeks ago I had Meech of RYME back into the Radio Humber studios where we were joined by Brock Edwards. The embed below features our full uncut conversation (at least what was recorded). We tackled all things around their upcoming episode of My Mixtape (which premieres Saturday March 7th at 11 PM EST on Radio Humber), their upcoming releases, and their labels, before opening things up more widely for discussions on seemingly everything under the sun (still music related).
Other topics covered: personal problems with social media and award shows, country music vs electronic, the Toronto scene, growing out of the festival/club scene, Meech's thoughts on dubstep, drugs and the scene, the faceless quality of DJ sets that remain in the same key or BPM range, Brock and Meech's disdain for live sets, what a live set really means. Lots of laughs and lots of diversions.FOLLOW BROCK EDWARDS: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Eddie Amador - House Music (Jerome Robins 'Tribute' Remix)
This week's episode of Bump In The Hump marks the return of My Mixtape and with that comes an interview at the conclusion of each show. Followers of my socials will already know that the first episode/interview feature two of Toronto's busiest house creators and curators, Brock Edwards and RYME. While you can already hear their collaborative EP, the 60th BADLQQK release, Searching For Signal on Soundcloud here, you'll be able to learn more about it and their mix, with a clip of my conversation with Brock and Meech (1/2 of RYME) on tonight's episode as well as through the full, nearly two hour conversation, which is to be uploaded to Mixcloud tomorrow.
But back to the sneak peek illustrated in the title of this post. I've chosen to highlight the latest of Jerome Robins' many wicked white labels for two reasons. 1) Jerome is set to play Comfort Zone Saturday morning in honour of Deko-ze's birthday (RSVP/Info) and 2) "House Music" is a perfect fit not only with Brock & RYME's "The Beginning," but also the subject of house as broached in my conversation with the two. So stream below, grab free download here, and tune in to Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 PM EST on Radio Humber tonight or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud here.FOLLOW JEROME ROBINS: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Crowd Control - Is It Daylight?
Life is easy when one of your favourite artists drops a track just in time to get your week off to a smooth start. That was the case today when French house producer Crowd Control released "Is It Daylight?" as part of his 3 track Housy Love Songs Vol. 1 EP. Just last week Meech and I chatted (here) about the onetime BADLQQK rookie, and our love for him, especially his bootlegs, and here we are gifted with this beautiful, sampled based take on Ashford & Simpson's "It Seems To Hang On." Like his McFadden & Whitehead and more recent Black Box remixes, this too features fantastic use of filters, injecting a playful movement into every moment of the track. The drums bump and bang, finding a funky balance between the four on the floor norm and the glitchy playful effects. However my favourite piece of this production comes in the subtle swells of synths, brass bursts and smooth sliding sample usage. Get Crowd Control's latest disco delight "Is It Daylight?" via Bandcamp and follow his socials below.FOLLOW CROWD CONTROL: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Full, Uncut Interview with Meech of RYME
Last Wednesday I had BADLQQK boss and one half of RYME, Meech join me for a chat in the Radio Humber studios. At least our third interview, we've perhaps grown too comfortable as this hour long chat is very loose and conversational. That said, Meech treated those courageous listeners who make it all the way through to some interesting stories, little nuggets, and tea. Broad topics include: the history & rise of BADLQQK, getting support and/or working with Carl Cox, Don Rimini & MSTRKRFT, taking BADLQQK & RYME around the world, how RYME became RYME, what's next for BADLQQK & RYME, and of course their new episode of My Mixtape, which airs this Saturday at 11 PM EDT.FOLLOW RYME: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

New Seasons of Bump In The Hump and My Mixtape
The summer is wrapping up and things are progressing towards new seasons of both Bump In The Hump and My Mixtape. Today my inbox received audio 3 promos to go along with a video, recorded during last week's episode (here), so I figured I'd share and announce the season premiere dates.

We will continue with new episodes through then with a special recap/preview episode September 5th. My Mixtape will follow suit kicking off a long line of mixes September 15th at 11 PM on Radio Humber, as always. I've also put the call out for more guest mixes, so if you're interested in making an hour long, all Canadian mix, you can contact me at oggiejames88@gmail.com.
Stay tuned to this blog, my Twitter @OggieJames and my Facebook for more information. Until then enjoy the promos below. Audio produced by Javon Anderson, video by Joseph Kan.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Gesaffelstein - Viol (Brodinski Remix)
With Brodinski taking over CODA Saturday (RSVP/Tickets), I knew I had to find something to fit into this week's episode of Bump In The Hump. Then of course I realized his remix of Gesaffelstein's "Viol" came to us through Tiga's Turbo Recordings. So set your speakers to stun and press play below.Not only is Brodinski set to bring the beats to CODA, he'll be joined by RYME whose label BADLQQK has a new release slated for Friday, and you'll get your first listen on Bump In The Hump tonight. They'll be joined by the likes of new Rezz, Keys N Krates, Zeds Dead among several other big names. There's truly a mix of everything from disco and funk through to future bass, trap, DnB, techno and dub.

Crowd Control & Popka - Happiness Therapy Split (Vol. 1)
"Yes It's Me" shows off Crowd Control's fantastic feel for filtering, allowing listeners to ease into the groove before being pushed onto the floor with propellant horn hits. Diving right into a brilliant bass line "Can't Keep My Hands" offers up some sensational sampling of T.S. Monk and again sets the table for this dance-all-night kind of EP. And this is where Popka takes over and really runs with things.
Offering up two 8+ minute tracks the second half of Happiness Therapy Split spirals into a Soul Train Line. "Rhythm Child" and its extended excellence plays host to more elements than you can shake a stick at, allowing you to take a breather mid-track, then return in full force with a new routine. Finally "Too Much Pressure" bookends the EP by again easing you into its wobbly warm groove before cutting back the vocal chops and letting the synth lead out. And again like "Yes It's Me" the filtering in and out of layers gives great dynamism and dance-worthiness. Best of all, the final flourish once again reveals the organic, human heart behind the electronic nature of house. Truly a perfect cap to this EP.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Stephen Walking - Glide
The one and only Stephen Walking is back with a brand new production, his first solo original release in over a year. "Glide" sees a return to his enigmatic, spacefunk/dadrock sound best noted in the 364 day run from "Dads In Space" through to "It Came From Planet Earth." That said "Glide" blasts into the abyss in a slightly different fashion, this time his trademark metric ton of toms and other drums are led by the sexiest of saxophones. The life, movement and seemingly infinite amount of instrumentation he sews together is more than enough to leave your head spinning yet soars supremely smoothly. It's been too long since I've been able to sing the praises of Stephen Walking, so you can only imagine my excitement in being able to bring this new beauty to Bump In The Hump tonight. Stream below.After last week's deep dive into DnB, we turn our head to the strength of the Canadian wave scene, with the likes of Memphis and MRKRYL, among others. There's the usual hearty helping of house, including a couple weapons from our favourite labels BADLQQK and Turbo. We also look ahead to the weekend with several events showcased, alongside a forthcoming Hanz Ford production. Finally we feature tracks from brand new albums by Felix Cartal and Venetian Snares & Daniel Lanois. Catch Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 PM EDT via Radio Humber, or after the fact with Mixcloud.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Marco Marz - Acquisition
On Bump In The Hump I pride myself on bringing the latest and greatest in dance and electronic from across the country, and it's safe to say "Acquisition," from friend of the show Marco Marz, checks both of those boxes. It's been more than a year since he graced us with an hour of unholy house for My Mixtape, and if you thought his star was bright then, he's about to go supernova now. After his BADLQQK RQQKIE release he further announced his arrival with a genius take on Jay-Z's "PSA", made moves onto CastNowski's UpNorth with "Get Money," before wrapping up the year with some December deepness in his remix of DLMT and Ellis' "How Does It Feel." Now I've been privy to some potent productions he's sitting on, and this track is only the start of a superb 2018. So buckle in for the bass bounce of Marco Marz and enjoy "Acquisition" below, before Bump In The Hump tonight.
Joining Master Marz we've got another hearty helping of house of the disco, deep, bass, and tech varieties. There's a touch a trance, future bass, to go with a trap, DnB and dubstep laden Fire Finale. We welcome a handful of debuts, and another extended edition of the Weekend Warmup, with specific attention paid to the Kawaii Bass collective's Friday Low Key LP release party (RSVP/Tickets). Catch all the action live from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber or after the fact on Mixcloud here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: RYME & Cosella - You Wanna
After a week off, Bump In The Hump is back with its new seventh season, and what better way to celebrate than with new music from friends of the show RYME and Cosella. The BADLQQK family had some celebrating of their own with the three track RYME & Friends EP being their 20th release. Plus they're set to do a mini-tour, playing Datcha in Montreal Oct 12th and Rum Runners in London Oct 14th, both with the legendary Don Rimini. "You Wanna" finally sees RYME and Cosella working together on the same track, having only remixed each other previously, and all I can say is how much I hope they get back in the studio soon as this absolutely bangs. If BADLQQK's motto is "Make Club Music Great Again" it sure seems to be in good hands. Stream the track below and the whole EP here.With this newseason of Bump In The Hump, we've expanded to two hours, meaning double the dancing, including a cheeky mix between this and another track, keyword being dancing. The extended length also means more room for music of all kinds. There's trance, future bass, disco, funk, house, garage, DnB, trap, hybrid, electro and just straight up fire. There's so much to tease but I'll leave it at that, because it's really just about the music and not the hype. You can catch the seventh season premiere live tonight from 6-8 PM EDT on Radio Humber, here, or after the fact via Mixcloud, here.

The Wonderland That Was WayHome 2017 (Recap)
![]() |
| Credit: Karis Malszecki (Instagram) |
This being both my first WayHome, and my first overnight camping festival, I went in with very few expectations or even ideas about what I was getting myself into. I was also flying solo for the most part (bouncing between groups of friends, as I'm apt to do), which allowed for full freedom and discovery. I had a strong schedule of who I wanted to see, but that was more of guideline rather than a strict itinerary. And this is part of what I love about being a blogger/reviewer as opposed to a photographer/videographer/etc, it allows me to experience the festival as a whole, while still focusing on the music. From the camping, food, staff, fellow WayHomies and everything in between, WayHome was pure perfection. If you're reading for the music only, jump ahead to the break below.
------------------------------------------------------------------
WeatherMother nature set the mood for the weekend right off the bat, clearing out the clouds, turning up the temperature and letting the sun shine full blast from Friday morning through Sunday evening. Even the grass was green, which I'm told was not the case in previous years. Check out the Friday night sunset.
The seemingly endless rows of camping played host to hundreds of little parties. It was absolutely mind-blowing walking from one corner to another, passing thousands of people all here for the same thing. Saturday morning I met up with 404, and we literally went back and forth between a half dozen different groups of people getting ready another full day of fun. This was tiring walking so far, but inspiring in that it brought so many people together. However the highlight of my camping came when I met Kyle (left) and his group from Barrie. Just take a look at this character (RIP those sunglasses, which fell into a porta-potty minutes after this picture).
Food
No matter your dietary restrictions or desires there was something for you. Poutines aplenty placated, staples like Pizza Pizza and Beaver Tails satisfied, while dozens of other delicacies tickled your taste buds. I had a wicked good (but ultimately bad choice due to time spent in the porta-potties afterwards) spicy chorizo burrito. However the most talked about foodstuff was The Colossal Onion, but beware it's not for the faint of heart, I barely made a dent in mine even though it was sinfully scrumptious.

Interview with Biz Davis
Earlier this week I spoke with Biz Davis, who's had his hand in several different jobs through his nearly two decade long "odyssey" in the music business, including his current role as manager for BADLQQK. In anticipation of his set for My Mixtape, this Friday at 11 PM EDT, I bent his ear for nearly a half hour. Through these dozen or so interviews, I've had the pleasure of speaking to several smart and well spoken people, but Biz's grand perspective may have been the most enlightening. Stream below.
Topics include: his odyssey from the 90s to now and the many jobs he's filled, the populist connection between Hip Hop and electronic music, how electronic music has changed in the past 2 decades, his perpetual positioning at the "left of centre," the commercial reality of the music business, his disdain for gatekeeping, the necessity of passion and authenticity, the value of challenge, why he's kept coming back, his work with BADLQQK, the longevity of house, what's next for him and BADLQQK, and of course his set for My Mixtape.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Adventure Club ft. SONDAR - Breathe (Indiginis Remix)
I've been a fan of Indiginis ever since I heard their collab with Blu J, "Hallucinating" last summer. I later wrote about their undeniably cool take on Missy Elliott's "GET UR FREAK ON," here. Since then they've gone on to release 3 new productions in less than 2 weeks, an original in "A Love Lost" and two remixes. The most recent of those remixes is of Adventure Club's "Breathe," transformed in typical Indiginis fashion. Their tunes always strike me as if produced in a jazz club of the future, the groove always guides the cool action amidst sneakily strong percussion and deliriously delightful chords. You'll be hard pressed to find any other artists able to craft such quality, especially with the type of consistency as Indiginis. You'll even note the majority of their releases are available for free download.Hear the latest from Indiginis on tonight's all new episode of Bump In The Hump. They'll join a slew of sensational summer type tracks from Future Magic, Dom Dias, and Attlas. There's also at least three artist making their Radio Humber debuts. We also get ready for a BADLQQK bent two weeks, with a clip from my conversation with label manager Biz Davis, before his set for My Mixtape this Friday. All this comes before a special, one time only, event in which Radio Humber will present 4 hour long live sets from BADLQQK's NXNE label showcase. Hear them July 1st from 8 PM to midnight. But don't forget about Bump In The Hump live tonight from 6-7 PM EDT, here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Jay Z - PSA (Marco Marz Bootleg)
As teased in interview, Marco Marz released his Jay-Z "Public Service Announcement" bootleg this Monday. Obviously the promise of working with Hova's flows is appealing in itself, but it's the perfect fit with Marco's G-House style. He absolutely nails the retro vibes, building a thorough bass thump and simple yet precise percussion that plays perfectly with the piano. To top it all off, the spinbacks and other effects give the 2003 track a final polish. D/L it free & catch it tonight on Bump In The Hump.
Marco Marz is surrounded by more thumping house, including BADLQQK brothers RYME, as well as Tiga, Smalltown DJs, Jerome Robins, and Kavi Indatissa with a remix of "In Da Club." There's also some hard stuff with Simtem, Nati, and an exclusive premiere from Audiation. We finish off with the feels from Future Magic, Fahjah and Yang. Tune in live tonight from 6-7 PM EDT on Radio Humber, and find all episodes cataloged here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Jacques Greene - To Say
This past Friday Jacques Greene released his much anticipated album Feel Infinite on LuckyMe Records. The veteran DJ and producer is no stranger to incredible original productions, with tracks like "These Days" garnering strong support from Annie Mac and others. And while he's been relatively quiet release-wise, it's almost assuredly a result of an intense focus on Feel Infinite. A focus that shines bright throughout the cohesive and emotive album, as each track has been clearly polished beyond compare, playing its role perfectly in the opus that is Feel Infinite. While you can call his tracks house, I find it hard to accept it as just that. Ever since I first heard, the Will Ferrell from Old School aided track, "I Like You" I've had a hard time quantifying Greene's releases. They are quite simply quality, thoughtful and supremely designed electronic productions. Just damn good music, regardless of genre.After having already heard both "You Can't Deny" and "Afterglow" on Bump In The Hump, it's my pleasure to be able to play yet another cut from Feel Infinite tonight, "To Say." You can also see Jacques Greene as he returns home to Toronto at the tail end of his tour, April 15th at Velvet Underground (RSVP and Tickets). "To Say" isn't the only Friday release that gets a spin on Bump In The Hump tonight, I've also got a track from BADLQQK's RQQKIES 2. Nor is Feel Infinite the only new album represented, as I've got a track from Honey Beard's debut Dreamless Sleep, out this Friday. Finally we enjoy an onslaught of house from Cosella, Smalltown DJs, Pat Lok and birthday boy Frustra, who is playing tonight at Edenhall and Saturday at The Beaver. Hear all this and more live on Radio Humber from 6-7 PM EDT, here.

Top 13 for Friday March 10th
![]() |
| Artwork for Juke Ellington - Sexual Healing by Uncle Reezy |
Note: I didn't include any of the BADLQQK RQQKIES release because I've already covered it on Discobelle, nor did I include Grandtheft and Sam Spiegel's remix of The Weeknd, because it's not available for stream, but my pal Colin covered it over on FUXWITHIT if you want to check it out there. Jilbare x Future Magic - Fire (ft. Izzy Salinel)*
Third release from Future Magic in a week and a half. Another sensational production, playing beautifully with vocals, getting all emotional with wicked future bass synths, and those drum fills. Wow.
Gumball - Color Coded*
My kind of adventurous blend of future bass with other seemingly conflicting subgenres. Big triumphant arcs, perfectly placed effects and sublime vocal work. Super smart production.
Kehlani - Gangsta (Parker Remix)
Beautiful bed for Kehlani's vocals that's at once heartening while also ominous in its delivery. Doesn't seem to be any slowing this one down. Good strong G vibes working with the lyrics brilliantly.
AC Slater & Taiki Nulight - Super Doopah Legend
Another stellar, shot-in-the-arm kind of track from Night Bass boss AC Slater. There's no knowing what this track is doing or where its going. Twisty-turny and full of surprises.
Stooki Sound ft. Latroit & Lliam Taylor - Echos (R3LL Remix)
Gotta have me some jersey club for my weekend, and not many do it as well as R3LL. Full of feels but also bouncy as all hell. Plenty of pump up in this one.
Alison Wonderland & Lido - Messiah (Havok Roth & Kayoh Remix)*
First I need to say that Lido's mix is another instant classic, and early choice for remix of the year. That being said this remix is stupid good. Like five minutes of soaring fire. GOLD!
JayKode - Roll Out
Even though you can feel the bass coming right from the get go, there's no being prepared for the waves of tweaking electro that lies ahead. Add a little ivory tickling & you've got one bad-ass banger.
LigOne x Holly - Lazy Social*
Somehow this one snuck into the my feed despite being 4 months old. But it's LigOne and Holly so it's damn good. Oozes with originality as expected. A little laidback, but groovy as all hell.
Dex - Images (edit)*
Ridiculously wicked and wild Tchami-like sound design. Haven't heard house done like this in a while, and its got everything I want. Groove, piano, vocals and a menacing bassline. Love it.
Juke Ellington - Sexual Healing*
Vocals, drums and energy all so on point. Even with the onslaught of future bass at the moment, this one still sounds fresh as anything. A beautiful banger, no doubt.
Jetique - Love On My Mind (ft. Terri B!)
Lead by beautiful vocals, this is deep house at its best. Instantly commands your attention, delivering a divine groove, demanding you dance. Transforms all listening spaces into the coolest of clubs.
Anamanaguchi ft. Hatsune Miku - Miku (Carpainter Remix)*
Pure pleasure pop. Couldn't be any more bubbly or brilliant. Feels like you're floating in an 8-bit version of outer space, soaring above all cares and worries. Unapologetic easy listening.
Childish Gambino - Do Ya Like (Mark Melgo Remix)*
Warm weather is right around the corner and I'm looking forward to listening to more music like this, rounding out all day dance sessions, spinning in the summer breeze. Good vibes all around.

Uncut Interview with RYME's Meech
Topics include: Last set at The Hoxton. Favourite Hoxton memory. The story behind the growing, nearly two year old, label. Fostering young, and often local talent. What's next for BADLQQK. The evolution of the Toronto scene. And of course, he sets up RYME's hour long mix for My Mixtape. Fittingly their remix of Chad Tyson's "Coochie Lip" dropped today and is also in the mix, stream it below or purchase here.
Catch My Mixtape live tonight at 11 PM EST on 96.9 FM Radio Humber, here. Download the mix, here.
