While it seems the majority of electronic music coming out of Canada is darker, deeper and more bass oriented there's also some strong trance tracks from the likes of
Soundprank,
Yang and
Somna. The latter, Benjamin Leung, has become a staple on
Bump In The Hump, usually used to lead off each episode with his epic, joyous soundscapes. His latest of that variety, "
My Shelter" a collab with vocalist Matthew Steeper, will once again launch the hour of new Canadian electronic music.
In fact the second track in tonight's episode of
Bump In The Hump, while not directly from
Somna, is indeed inspired by the man himself. Because I follow him on twitter I received a DM offering a free download of fellow AVA artist
Memory Loss and her track "
Maybe Tomorrow." Of course I couldn't turn down that offer and proceeded to find out that
Memory Loss is also Canadian. I don't know what it is about Vancouver that inspires so much great trance music, but I'm glad it's a thing.
Joining
Somna and
Memory Loss tonight, there's another new
Dom Dias bootleg, a stunner from
Vincent, some hard and heavy stuff from
Black Tiger Sex Machine and
Exclusion, and an aptly timed remix from
Jacques Greene who is set to play
Velvet Underground this Saturday (
details here). Finally, since Friday is a holiday there will be no episode of
My Mixtape, however it'll return next week. Catch tonight's episode of
Bump In The Hump live on
Radio Humber from 6-7 PM EDT,
here.
