Crackazat - Fly Away

Genius jazz musician and electronic producer Ben Worrall, better known to us as Crackazat, recently released a trio of tracks based around acapellas taken from Joey Negro's ZRecords archives. This is the second such time Worrall has woven immaculate melodies around acapellas, a trick he first turned in the summer of 2016. Not quite 3 years later we've been blessed with Period Works Vol. 2, including the absolutely intoxicating lead track "Fly Away." Soaring sublime atop a rollicking piano and groovy guitar, the vocals fit the bouncy bed perfectly, playing right into the lively Crackazat craft-work. There's no way you can let this life-giving tune play out without cracking a smile; the joy and unabashed, childlike exuberance Crackazat imbues "Fly Away" with is wonderfully heartening. Launch yourself into this luxurious loftiness and wash all your worries away with the power of Period Works Vol. 2.FOLLOW CRACKAZAT: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: NICOLAAS ft. Lucy Mason - No Stranger Thing (Louis La Roche Remix)

New artist, or at least an artist with a newly minted name, NICOLAAS has wasted no time in tapping two of disco's finest to remix his debut single. Born Robert Bakker, but better known to us as Muneshine, NICOLAAS first appeared with Lucy Mason to open the month of March with sensational single "No Stranger Thing." A fabulously funky and fat joint, it's not hard to hear the Muneshine influence nor is it to imagine a whole heap of support for this strong single. However, as mentioned above, two remixes quickly followed with Pages and Louis La Roche delivering more divine disco. As readers of this blog will know I'm a huge LLR fan and absolutely had to use this opportunity to share his killer quality as an introduction to NICOLAAS for Bump In The Hump and Radio Humber alike.This is not the only disco track in tonight's episode, nor is Louis the only artist I first enjoyed over a decade ago, as A-Trak hits on both those counts with "Work It Out." As is always the case, there's a hearty helping of house, a look ahead to the weekend and a couple of artist debuts. The midtempo mania continues with a strong contingent that includes Slooze, KRILLA, Fera and more, plus the return of Thugli in the Fire Finale. Catch Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 PM EDT via Radio Humber or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud here.
