Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Kardano - Rock Tha Party

After the eclectic odyssey that was last week's episode of Bump In The Hump, we bring the party vibes this week with a house heavy selection. Pushing said section over the top, Vancouver's Kardano continues his incredible run of releases with new UFO Recordz single, "Rock Tha Party." It's clear Kardano's found his groove as this may well be his best work yet. It's got the kind of killer creativity and depth of design that allows a six-minute track to cruise along with ease, placing its listeners in the middle of a lively and energizing party. Not only does it overflow with the feeling of being at a real party, but also it delivers two diverse drops that keep things plenty interesting. Follow that with even more hard-hitting house and you've got one heck of an opening to this episode of Bump In The Hump. Listen live from 7-9 PM EDT via Radio Humber or find it cataloged after the fact on Mixcloud here.

Bicep - Apricots

After sharing ray of sunshine "Atlas" in the darkness that was the early days of COVID, the Bicep boys are back with the second single from just-announced album Isles. Due out January 22nd on Ninja Tune, the new 10 track sophomore saga is set to feature more original vocals than ever before as well as a deeper dive into the duo's diverse inspirations.

Today's single, "Apricots" features two vocal samples, one from a Malawian folk group and another from the Bulgarian State Choir, both exceptionally placed amidst the duo's sublime synths. Having begun as an ambient, beatless piece (which may very well have been excellent by itself), the thumping kick drum, slick snare clicks and otherwise mostly subtle percussion provide a brilliant backbone for the fluttering synths and ethereal atmosphere. While it doesn't deliver the same bewitching breaks as either "Glue" or "Atlas," there is no shortage of seduction in "Apricots" whose warmth and alchemy is undeniable, especially in the fabulous final flourish starting at about 3:15.

Serene and spellbinding, get "Apricots" now with pre-order here and take the experience up a notch with the accompanying music video from BAFTA-winning director Mark Jenkin, here.
