Episode 460: MAZ & ALAN KEY

Lost In Bass returns with a deep and varied journey through minimal house, afro, amapiano, and bass driven sounds. We begin the show with a brand new release from Anthony Cole, out on Jaded Recordings, curated by Return of the Jaded. From the two track EP If Ya Wanna, we feature Ohh K, a Big Bass Heavy groove that leans into late night energy: OHH K Buy Link: https://www.beatport.com/release/if-ya-wanna/5448290 JADED IG: https://www.instagram.com/jadedrecordingsofc/ Next up is the latest from Samuel Echo, the vocal project of techno producer Abe Van Dam. His new track Like Glass is a deeply personal piece, written for someone far out of reach. Using his own voice as the emotional centre, this release is reflective, vulnerable, and quietly powerful. Out now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp: Samuel Echo: https://samuel-echo.bandcamp.com/track/like-glass The middle of the show features a guest mix from MAZ, exploring 3 Step, a South African dance music subgenre that blends elements of Amapiano and Afro House. Defined by its distinctive three kick rhythm, deep basslines, and intricate percussion, this mix highlights a sound we do not hear nearly enough on community radio. MAZ is also a co founder of the More Than Piano event series, dedicated to bringing South African electronic music to the forefront: MAZ IG: https://www.instagram.com/thisisdjmaz/ More Than Piano Events: https://www.instagram.com/morethanpianoo/ We close out the show with a special mix from Alan Key, formerly one half of Return of the Jaded. Recently released as a two part series on Soundcloud, this deep dive into minimal house is patient, hypnotic, and immersive. The mix brings back memories of early mornings and sunrises at Sunwaves in Romania, where the music and the moment seem to stretch endlessly. Alan Key can also be seen celebrating New Years Eve at The Glitter Ball at Gridwrks, a two floor immersive event transforming Gridwrks and Annx into a shimmering interstellar playground, featuring some of Ottawa’s finest underground talent and a deep, hypnotic journey into the year ahead: ALAN KEY: https://www.instagram.com/_alankey/ SPACE CAMP Events: https://www.instagram.com/spacecamp.events/ As always, thank you for tuning in and supporting community radio and CKCU, local artists, and the underground culture that keeps Lost In Bass alive.
