A Mix By… Bwana

Every now and again a new artist comes along who takes us ever so slightly deeper, and whos psyche we would like explore further via the medium of audio. Twenty year old Canadian born, and currently Leeds-residing, Nathan Michay, aka Bwana, has been producing for not long over a year. His tracks however shine with immaculate veteran craft and ingenuity, juxtaposing byte-size vocal snippets with an airy sleight of hand to weave persistent, emotive hooks over crystalline pads, and agile, dotted garage rhythms. The mix above intersperses his own productions (wait for All Alone and Take It Slow for particular highlights) with a few older and more recent UK bass/garage staples for a perfectly heaving winter cauldron .
