A Conversation with WWRD (Uncut, Behind The Scenes Version)

As promised, I've uploaded the full 25 minute conversation with WWRD, from which the 5 minute Bump In The Hump interview was pulled. We spoke about her name, her DJing and production history, her passion for tech and deep house, the varying atmospheres in different genre nights, her connection to Anna Lunoe, her love for the Chris's Lake and Lorenzo, how she got in touch with BADLQQK, her forthcoming track "Blitzen," her 15 minute mix for Bump In The Hump, a summer of festivals, the first shows we ever saw, and the explosion of Canadian DJs and producers. The full episode will run again tonight on Radio Humber from 11-midnight, but of course you can listen to it anytime you like via Mixcloud. Stay tuned to Bump In The Hump for more exclusive previews of forthcoming BADLQQK, ahead of their new RQQKIES EP.

Bump In The Hump: June 1 (Season 4, Episode 1)


Tracklist

Bump In The Hump: WWRD Interview

Today's the day! Bump In The Hump returns for its fourth season on 96.9 FM Radio Humber. As promised, I've got three tracks to get your hyped for this groundbreaking, episode. Two weeks ago I had WWRD in studio for an interview, in which we chatted about her connection to Anna Lunoe, who she would most like collab with, how she got signed to BADLQQK, and her forthcoming track "Blitzen," among other things. Below is a quick snippet of what you can expect from our laidback conversation. I'll also be uploading a behind-the-scenes, uncut version of the interview later tonight.  As I have been doing all week, I've once again uploaded another Kenan Habibovic produced promo, the third and final for the fourth season. This one showcases something I'll be focusing more heavily on this season, festivals, and with it a new weekly feature replacing the Fire Finale. That new feature is called the Weekend Warm-up. Always ending Bump In The Hump with a track from a Canadian artist that will be performing at a festival or club night that weekend, in the immediate area, whether it's Ever After in Kitchener, Wayhome in Oro-Medonte, Osheaga in Montreal or Bestival right here in Toronto. As a final teaser for tonight's season premiere, you can listen to this week's Weekend Warm-up, Rezz's remix of Kill The Noise "Without A Trace." You can catch Rezz at Ever After this Sunday, and you can pick up her remix free, now. Don't miss the fourth season premiere of Bump In The Hump live tonight from 6-7 EST on 96.9 FM Radio Humber, alongside the Weekend Warm-up, WWRD interview and mix, as well as the best new Canadian electronic dance music. Get it all, follow along as I live tweet, and listen live here.
