Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (Rise Of The JellyFish Remix)

We've got one final episode of Bump In The Hump before the unofficial end of summer, and while that may be sad, this week's episode is anything but. Uplifting, energizing and all-together inspiriting, tonight's combination of tracks is sure to satisfy. As so often seems to be the case, there are two main sections: house and DnB. Further, those two could be subdivided into more groovy and banging types. Checking both boxes, Rise Of The JellyFish's remix of "Seven Nation Army" is just one of this week's highlights. Available free here, it is big banging fun, wickedly working the ubiquitous riff atop the new electronic bed. Get a jump on things now below, and catch "Seven Nation Army" in the mix on Bump In The Hump tonight, live from 7-9 EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Michael Sparks - Juggernaut

Much like last week, we've got a heavy-weight episode of Bump In The Hump ready to tear up the airwaves tonight. While there are a number of epic tracks that run nearly ten minutes, the theme of this week's episode can largely be boiled down to this banging three-minute affair from Michael Sparks. 

Always a hard hitter, Sparks has had a heck of a year, starting with a couple of banging bootlegs which were followed in short order by several originals, including "Come Back." Whether or not he's on the comeback trail is for you to decide, but there's no debating the banging nature of his recent releases. Here, "Juggernaut" is just the latest example of his explosive energy and destructive disposition. It pushes tonight's episode to hellacious new heights before an extended section of disco/synth-driven grooves, which in turn give way to a fire finale built of DnB. Catch all the action on Bump In The Hump, live tonight from 7-9 EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud, here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: HNTR - Searching For Self (ft. Tribe Alexander)

Just as we did last week, we start this week's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump with an explosion of energy. Early on we trend towards techno and acid, taking in some fire forthcoming cuts from Cloverdale and ksd6700, the latter making a brilliant return to BADLQQK. But before then, we get to look ahead to the weekend with HNTR's epic introspection, "Searching For Self." While he's been making waves on the mighty mau5trap as of late, HNTR will always and forever be the baron of all things black, the overload of all things obsidian, the king of No Neon. And it is No Neon that returns to CODA this Saturday, August 14th as part of the wonderful Reboot Music series (see rebootmusic.ca for more). Mikey Palermo and James Blvck are set to join HNTR, and you can too, absolutely free if you arrive before 10:30 PM (RSVP/info). Stream "Searching For Self" below, and catch it in the mix on Bump In The Hump tonight, live from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact on Mixcloud. FOLLOW HNTR: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Somna & Tekia - Sky Scar

Tonight, we set August ablaze, starting the month, and the show, with a bang, or rather, an hour of bangers. Leading the way into this week's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump is Somna & Tekia's tremendous trance offering "Sky Scar," out now on Orjan Nilsen's In My Opinion imprint. It instantly injects the adrenaline necessary to make it through the fiery first hour that features bangers from wave and reggae to dubstep and DnB. After that fierce first hour, we cool things off in the second with sublime swells and gorgeous grooves. In fact, that second section is led by an 'after-hours' mix and closes with CloudNone's titular "Last Train Home." Catch a ride on Bump In The Hump live tonight from 7-9 EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud here. Get "Sky Scar" now, here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Hudson Lee - Chasm

Each week, ahead of the new episode, I try to find a singular track that encompasses that week's mix. This week, that track comes from Hudson Lee, who is set to drop his album, Reflex Angle, this Friday. "Chasm," one of the pre-release singles, not only shares much of the same obsidian sonic plane as much of this week's dark dubstep and DnB, but it also matches said theme with its alluring, abstract, and most importantly, shaded album artwork. Featuring indomitable drums, destructive synths and eventually a jazzy, computer-virus-powered finale, it is exactly the kind of enigmatic genius we've come to expect from Hudson Lee. Get "Chasm" now below, pre-order it as part of Reflex Angle, and see Hudson Lee live twice this weekend, Friday and Saturday at Upscale Fest. Finally, catch Bump In The Hump live tonight from 7-9 EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud, here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Dr. Fresch & Glass Petals - The Answer

First appearing on social media last September, "The Answer" has been jacking up listeners via teaser clips for the better part of a year. Finally, the banging brainchild of Dr. Fresch and Glass Petals has made its way into the world. Available absolutely free via House Call Records below, this hot acidic house joint is set to do damage in the middle of a run of mayhem-inducing tracks on this week's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump. There's no shortage of party power tonight as we enjoy an onslaught of energy that ranges from a glut of gorgeous garage to a touch of titanic techno.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Simon Doty - House For All

My Mixtape is back with a new episode this week, and in turn, we'll be closing out tonight's episode of Bump In The Hump with a clip of my conversation with Toronto house and techno producer, Feyln. With that mind, there's no better track to tease tonight's episode than "House For All," from Simon Doty's Solaris EP. Not only is Doty known to straddle the line between progressive house and melodic techno, but he is one of Feyln's main inspirations, and like "House For All," it is the piano that takes the role of protagonist, propelling his upcoming episode of My Mixtape.

Catch "House For All" at the tail end of tonight's episode of Bump In The Hump, live from 7-9 EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud, here. Find my full conversation with Feyln here tomorrow and come back Saturday at 11 PM EDT for the premiere of My Mixtape featuring Feyln.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Tale Of Us - Nova Two

Journeying into July, this week's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump is as epic as ever, showcasing all things acid, techno, trance, bass and house. Primarily taking place in the 120-130 BPM range, the slow build features a fistful of free fire, brutal yet brilliant bangers from Kannibalen and Subsidia, and yet another Unidisc remixed classic. But before then, sitting right in the middle of the episode is Tale Of Us' "Nova Two," an update on their 2018 Afterlife Realm Of Consciousness Pt. III epic. Released as part of CircoLoco Records' Monday Dreamin' Black compilation, this new piece perfectly straddles the line between prodigious power and pensive poise. It is expansive yet constrained, universal yet limited, elephantine yet tender; it always leaves you leaning in, hoping to hear more, wanting to ride on its endlessly awesome waves. And ride we will as Bump In The Hump builds even bigger in its second hour, concluding with a fabulous foursome that includes Cadence Weapon, Richie Hawtin, Tiga and Nocow. Stream "Nova Two" now below and catch it in the mix tonight, live from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud here. FOLLOW TALE OF US: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (Jimi Needles Edition)

Staying with the same sentiment as last week, Bump In The Hump remains jubilant as we say goodbye to June, welcome July and celebrate the second stage of Ontario's reopening. All across the map, while featuring several remixes of classics from Baauer, Boney M, The Prodigy and The Weeknd, this week's all-new episode has something for everyone. There's disco, funk, trap, DnB, trance, and even some live stuff, and you can find a bunch of those elements in this Jimi Needles take on "Blinding Lights." Available as a free download, this remix gives new liquid life to the already intoxicating original, souping up its engine with a wicked growl, pushing the rhythm ever faster. It's undeniably fun and playful, especially as Needles takes the groove out for a rip in the back half, careening around corners, blasting off into the horizon. Get "Blinding Lights" now below, and catch it in the mix on Bump In The Hump, live tonight from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud here.

Hope is assuredly on the horizon, and as a result, we're going full party mode tonight on Bump In The Hump. With nearly an hour of hot house to start the show and a bunch of bangers shortly thereafter, tonight's all-new episode is jam-packed with goodies, including another reworked classic from Montreal label Unidisc. Here Carl Cox delivers two takes on Geraldine Hunt's "Can't Fake The Feeling," a more typical disco house remix and an energetic rework.

Topics included: the evolution of MAP Mondays from a closed-door hangout/production session to an inclusive stream, an update on Winnipeg's reception to house music, the evolution of the MAP sound, what each member brings to the table, inspiration from the likes of Carlo Lio, Nathan Barato and Rawthentic Music, their ongoing interactive bi-weekly Twitch shows, their upcoming releases and, of course, their second episode of My Mixtape, which premieres Saturday, June 19th at 11 PM EDT on Radio Humber.FOLLOW MAP: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITCH TWITTER

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Carlo Lio & Nathan Barato - Girl Meets Boy

It's our last show before the official start to summer, and we've got vibes for days. As usual, Bump In The Hump will run the gamut of genres tonight with an assortment of acid, breaks, DnB, funk, garage and more. Those that follow the show closely will know that this week also marks the return of My Mixtape, and it's because of that that we end tonight's episode with the latest from the power pairing known as The Roaches, Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato.

Released on Rawthentic, a favourite label of Marco Roberto (the M of MAP), "Girl Meets Boy" is a seven-minute-long masterclass in the interweaving intricacies of top-notch tech house. Always adding and subtracting sounds while further playing with the percussion and samples, this is no straightforward ride but rather an irresistibly circuitous creation. The perfect track to conclude tonight's episode, immediately before a clip of my conversation with Marco, Ayge and PRZM of MAP as Marco extols the virtues of Lio and Barato later in our interview. Catch the second edition of My Mixtape featuring MAP Saturday at 11 PM EDT on Radio Humber, and buckle in for tonight's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 EDT, or find it after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud, here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Sophia Bel - No More (Durante Remix)

As we continue to cruise towards summer, Bump In The Hump has one more extended episode before we once again cede the final ten minutes to a My Mixtape interview. Just as we did last week, we showcase all but the kitchen sink as we glide through genres.

Following a deep, funky opening, our hands get raised in the air as we take in truly euphoric stuff from Nathan Micay and Pat Lok. And while I love those two tunes, they pale in comparison to Durante's radiant, resplendent take on Sophia Bel's breathtaking "No More." Instantly buoying, the remix features a plethora of percussion and, of course, Miss Bel's beatific vocals. However, the real hook of "No More," the one that keeps me coming back, and solidifies its spot as one of my favourite productions of the year, is the sublime, strident chord structure. It's hard not to be repetitive with words like resplendent, buoyant and euphoric when describing music, but there's no denying the resonance of those adjectives with this track. At low volumes, "No More" tickles the senses. When turned up, it sends you soaring, powered by PLUR. Get it below and catch it in tonight's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump, live from 7-9 EDT on Radio Humber, or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud here.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peak: Eekkoo - Labyrinth

I just got back from a bike ride, and I can confirm it feels like June out there, and summer is most definitely on the way. Before then, we've got a couple of episodes of Bump In The Hump that return to two full hours of new Canadian electronic and dance as we put My Mixtape on a brief pause. Tonight's episode overflows with techno, trap, psytrance and a downpour of disco and DnB. We go up and down and all around, and because of that, the best tease of the episode is Eekkoo's "Labyrinth." While still immense in its essential, short edit form, Eekkoo's latest mau5trap majesty is much better enjoyed in its extended form (below). It showcases the enduring power of the piano, pulling you ever closer until you're lost forever in its captivating clutches. Get "Labyrinth" as part of new release Eleven and hear it as part of Bump In The Hump, live tonight from 7-9 PM EDT, or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: smol & Deliriousninja - City Nois

Continuing to pair Bump In The Hump with My Mixtape, we look ahead to PRZM's second all-Canadian hour this week. Of course, the emphasis remains on the latest and greatest across all genres, but the final 15 or 20 minutes of tonight's show blurs the lines between trap, dubstep, and bass, just as PRZM does in his mix. In fact, the final track in tonight's episode of Bump In The Hump provides the perfect segue into my conversation with Jorel Minuk, the versatile producer who also makes up one-third of MAP, in which we discuss his sonic evolution, largely leaving dubstep behind in favour of so-called Trap 2. That differentiation, the familial Winnipeg scene, and PRZM's love for Partica highlight the full, uncut interview, which drops tomorrow. Until then, prepare yourself for tonight's all-new episode with its killer closing cut "City Nois" from smol and Deliriousninja, out now on the former's DoYu Digital. Catch Bump In The Hump live tonight from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud here. My Mixtape featuring PRZM Vol. 2 premieres Saturday, May 29th at 11 PM EDT.
