Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Autoerotique - All I Need

As I've been saying for weeks now, Autoerotique is on some kind of crazy run producing nonstop. In the last month and half he's dropped 5 tracks, four of them free of charge. Add that to the collaboration with Hunter Siegel, that Hunter dropped at the most recent #NoNeon, and Autoerotique has at least one new track each week.
His latest "All I Need" continues to run with his deep, dissonant and atmospheric themes like his "Count On You," "Be There," and his Calvin Harris mix "I Need Your Love." Go ahead and pick up all of that free Autoerotique future bass and turn it up so loud that you can feel the sub-woofer vibrate all the way up your spine. Hear "All I Need" and more brand new music, on tonight's episode of Bump In The Hump on Radio Humber, from 6-7 EST, catch the live stream HERE.

Throwback Thursday: La Roux - Quicksand (Boy 8-Bit Remix) [Review]

This is the first in my TBT series, in which I'll review the most influential tracks from my past. What better place to start than with the most played track in my iTunes, my favourite track of all-time and arguably the most influential for me in many ways. Flashback to 2009 when I was still just learning about the vastness of the world electronic music (not yet called EDM). I had just returned to school after summer break, armed with a new secret weapon, Fake Blood; thanks to my guru who had shown me Fake Blood's killer remixes (Any Way You Choose To Give ItI Want Your Soul, Stuck On Repeat). I then showed my friends at school and we agreed to go see Fake Blood when he came to town. And unbelievably he was coming just a couple months later, with the biggest crew I've ever seen at Sound Academy; Aeroplane, Annie Mac, Boy 8-Bit, Calvin Harris, Fake Blood, Laidback Luke, Nero, Toddla T, and to top it off locals Zeds Dead and my boy Meech. Since it would be a waste to go only to see Fake Blood, I set out to familiarize myself with the rest of the lineup and the one that immediately caught my ear, was Boy 8-Bit. His combination of video game inspired sounds and progressive and playful electro style was everything I wanted in a producer. I was lucky enough to find a discography torrent, complete with a large number of mixes he had done for various radio shows. I was particularly enamored with the following video in which Annie Mac gives the first play to Boy 8-Bit's remix of La Roux, Quicksand.
