Enlightened Listening for May 12

A couple days late, but these tracks absolutely had to be shared. This week's Enlightened Listening gets underway with The Shapeshifters and Chic vocalist Kimberly Davis and the brilliant, biting brass of Glitterbox joint "Life Is A Dancefloor." Up next Paul Woolford unleashes an exceptional piano-led take on Hot Chip's heater "Hungry Child." The unstoppable force of Kölsch then ups the intensity with his remix of "Stella." Leading us further towards techno with a touch of midtempo, mau5trap once again wows with their recent releases through Sian's Ultraviolet EP 1.0. Marking the midway point in the playlist, Dimitri Veimar dazzles with 3 new originals alongside Dean Grenier's remix of the EP's title track "Planet." Changing gears, Pham returns with a diverse and delectable mixtape in Nostalgia. And indeed it is nostalgia you get upon seeing the title of Madeaux's massive "Black Magic Woman," a production worthy of one Carlos Santana. Next up Ninajirachi gives "303" some much needed movement, progression and captivating sound design, taking it from blah to banger. Finally, Night Bass bring us seven bangers worthy of their high standard; standouts include: "Desert Moon," "Killers" and "Fresh Prince." Enjoy everything below and find releases linked individually after the playlist.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: CYMN - Dominium

After first appearing on Bump In The Hump with "Breatharian" in October, Montreal's CYMN has become a staple of the show. He continually delivers deep house at its best, and that's exactly what he's done here with his latest "Dominium." The equally gritty and grimy, get-down is sure to throw some serious thumps your direction, as the multiple levels of bass blast out of your speakers. As with the majority of his releases, this too is available for free download from both the Artist Union and ToneDen. CYMN joins the hour of new Canadian electronic music on Bump In The Hump tonight. Hear "Dominium" alongside tech, house, DnB, and whatever you want to call Pham's remix of "Easy Go." There's exclusive premieres from both Frustra and Blansh, plus tracks from both Tiga and Bwana's brand new EPs. Catch it all live tonight on Radio Humber from 6-7 PM EDT, here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Grandtheft - Easy Go Remixes

April 19th marks the official release of, what I'm confident in calling the best remix package of 2017, Grandtheft's "Easy Go." Mad Decent tasks 3 of Toronto's most trusted producers, and a smash talent from Poland in Pham, to take on vocals of yet another Toronto talent, Delaney Jane. Just the prospect of using the immaculate elements of the original is enticing, but having 4 equally diverse and alluring productions is not an easy task. Exactly why this remix compilation is so good.

We had inklings that it was going to be a star studded lineup when previews of both Shaun Frank and Hunter Siegel's contributions surfaced in January. Each delivered extraordinarily, crafting killer mixes in own masterful styles. However, the surprise in my eyes is with Grandtheft's VIP and Pham's incredible re-imagining. Like we saw with Vanic's VIP of "Toon Soon," Grandtheft transforms "Easy Go" in an epic way, with drops that are like an atom bomb on the original's cool ease. Pham too comes close to abandoning the original, reinventing it with old school synths as though pulled out of a 80s film; but in a tripped out, slowed down way. There are no misfires on this release, it's one I'll be hitting up a lot, for a long time. I've been wanting to play Hunter's mix since Stephen Kazumi used it in his video for The Hoxton finale. In light of that, you can expect to hear it tonight on Bump In The Hump.Joining that Torontonian trio, I've got one of the most stacked playlists in Bump In The Hump history. Making it even better, 11 of the 15 tracks are available free. So tune in to Radio Humber live from 6-7 PM EDT, to catch remixes from Ramzoid, Whipped Cream and Rene LaVice, originals from Lukav, IDGVF, Juelz, Pat Lok, plus a track from Fil Jackson's The Uptown EP set to be released on 4/20.
