Despite ongoing frustrations with my computer, which has now been completely wiped thanks to Asus (a company I urge everyone to avoid), the world of music never stops. The beauty of
Bump In The Hump and its focus on new music, makes it possible for me to simply pick up where I left off. Since I sent my computer away last week, there's been a seemingly unprecedented onslaught of new music. And as always, I like to give you a little taste of what our great Canadian producers have been brewing, and boy have they been brewing. We're looking at a week capped with
MSTRKRFT's new album,
Operator, dropping Friday, joining new
Pusher,
A-Trak,
Strider White,
Tristam,
Blu J,
Black Tiger Sex Machine, and yes even more. Part of the proverbial 'more' is two very different tracks, one from established Canadian legends
Crystal Castles and the second, from fast rising stars
STFU.
Ethan Kath, the producer behind
Crystal Castles has a new front woman, in Edith Frances, and their first album as a duo,
Amnesty (I), is set to be released August 19th. This week you'll hear their latest addition to that album, "
Char." Hear it in its entirety, and get lost its dark abyss, on youtube,
here.
Originally aired on
Benzi's
ninth installment of his
Girl Trapz series, we've now got the
full length version of their future bass anthem. Furthering my claim that Zak and Alex are fast rising stars, they've dropped a second track in less than a week, a remix of
Leaf's "
Money." Expect big things from them as the both the world and the wheels of steel continue to turn.
I've got a number of exclusives on the way into my inbox as I write this, and can safely say that this week's episode of
Bump In The Hump is one for the record books. Do not miss out on this absolutely massive hour of entirely new Canadian electronic music, airing
live Wednesday from 6-7 on
Radio Humber, rebroadcast Friday 11-midnight, and as always streamable on this very blog.
