You know you've made it when you successfully coin your own genre name. That's the case with Vomitstep visionary,
Snails. The Montreal maniac has been slinging the sub-bass sludge for years now and ought to be immediately identifiable to anyone who's spent anytime at bass music shows.
I first came across
Snails and his sound when he collaborated with fellow Canadians
Botnek on "
KRMT," and could only describe that sound as guttural. It's incredibly visceral and absolutely intoxicating, perfect for losing your mind to in the middle of a mosh pit or an all out rager. Since then
Snails has been building a cult-like following, fitting perfectly into the
Kannibalen family and is now set to release his debut album,
The Shell.
Accompanying the album he'll be taking a brand new stage show on tour across the continent (details
here). There are dozens of stops including Toronto on December 29th (
RSVP/Tickets), with several different artists joining him along the way. Again accompanying the album and tour is the release of lead single "
Into The Light," featuring the vocals of Sarah Hudson. It's undoubtedly a
Snails track, but repackaged in a new and exciting way. Stream it below, and click through to find the
free download.
Despite its name, this
Snails track is decidedly dark, and fits perfectly into tonight's episode of
Bump In The Hump. I've never done as much work on an episode as I have for this one, as I've had to mix a bunch of the tracks together in an effort to squeeze more sensational songs in. There's a deluge of dubstep, some diabolic deep house, badass DnB, and titanic trap. I've said it before, but this is truly the hardest and most banging episode of
Bump In The Hump to date. Do not miss the madness with the live broadcast from 6-7 PM EDT on
Radio Humber or stream after the fact via
Mixcloud.
