Full, Uncut Interview with Feyln

Recorded July 8th on Zoom, this is my full conversation with Toronto progressive-house and melodic-techno producer, Feyln. Topics included: his earliest inspirations and electronic origins, his status as a "club rat," which led to a love for the local sound, the Toronto scene (including ATTLAS, Simon Doty, Rhyot & EMERCIVE and the Mastermind crew: Crimsen, Oliver Wickham and ASHE), exploring and expanding in the future, the name Feyln (being alright with 'failing'), art vs business and the commodification of art, the return of live music and shows, and, of course, his episode of My Mixtape, which premieres this Saturday, July 17th at 11 PM EDT on Radio Humber.

Bump In The Hump: May 19 (Season 9, Episode 72)

Tracklist

Enlightened Listening for May 14

After perhaps the final Bandcamp Friday, we're back to Spotify with this week's Enlightened Listening. While the vast majority of the names in this week's list appear here often, there is but one rarity in Skrillex, who actually released two tracks this week, of which "Butterflies" with Starrah and Four Tet is my preferred release. And I guess since we're down near the bottom of the playlist, why not finish those final four releases right now. Ahead of "Butterflies" are a couple of dope, deep and groovy remixes from Majestic and Tiga. The final release in the list comes from Overmono, who tease their forthcoming venture with fabric, the titular "If U Ever." The fabric mix is set to drop July 16th.

Staying with mixes, we move to the first group of four releases as Jayda G's 21 track DJ-Kicks compilation was unveiled today. Joining it in the upper third is Gaspard Augé's excellent second single, Myd's jovial remix of Hot Chip, and two new takes on MD X-Spress from trusted talents Eats Everything and The Vision. Finally, the middle third of the playlist features three of my favourite long-running, organic/progressive/house artists in ASHE, ATTLAS and Qrion. Somehow each of these three tracks manages to be more serene and inspiriting than the next. Standing on its own in this middle foursome and standing out in its own EP, "True Romance" from My Friend is the latest exemplification of Anjunadeep's recent run of brilliance (see "Clouds" and "I See You In My Dreams").

Enlightened Listening for April 16

It's Friday and I'm busy as all hell, but that doesn't mean I can skip the weekly tradition of Enlightened Listening. However, I will forgo any specific shoutouts save for the godly Gaspard Augé offering "Force Majeure," the lead single from the Justice co-founder's forthcoming album. Apart from that, the playlist opens with some easygoing, emotional stuff, moves through heavier, funkier stuff and ends with a bunch of DnB. Stream the playlist below and find each of the individual releases linked at the bottom.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Oliver Wickham - Indigo

Just as we have done the last two weeks, tonight's episode of Bump In The Hump begins with an extended section of progressive house and techno. While said section is largely built around mau5trap's milestone 10th edition of We Are Friends, there are back-to-back extended mixes whose releases I've been waiting for anxiously. Previously only available as part of the Anjunadeep 12 mix, Monday marked the full release of Oliver Wickham's breathtaking affair "Indigo." Sending shivers down your spine through scintillating synth sparkles that percolate out of the hazy, simmering atmosphere, this single is sure to warm listeners to the Wickham way. In fact, it's not the only time he appears in tonight's episode, as we also enjoy the ASHE remix of his Crimsen & Feyln collab, "Grey Skies." Dive into Wickham's sensational solo Anjunadeep debut below, catch it in the mix on Bump In The Hump tonight, live from 7-9 EST on Radio Humber, or after the fact as catalogued on Mixcloud here.
