Hump Radio Episode - Rosie Kate
“The mix focuses really heavily on an experience of the imagination. I've featured a lot of tracks that are light a vocal melody and you can make the narrative in your head as you listen along. The mix starts off bright, takes a few twists and turns and then finishes with a few dark techno belters.”

1. You Know - Luke Mandala
Big fan of the label Desert Hearts and within a few seconds of listening to this track, I knew it was a total earworm and I'd be rinsing it on repeat. That bassline! Luke Mandala is a serious synthesis wizard. Well worth looking into his back catalogue if you dig this one.
2. Situation (Paluma Remix) - Latour
Worlds collide with this absolute cracker of a minimal tech remix for Latour by Paluma (the brand new project for coastie legend Tim Fuchs!) I'm a frother for the minimal tech sound and it's great to see Latour and Paluma come together on this one.
3. VX - Boy With Boat
Brissie's Boy With Boat is one of the hardest working producers I know, he's always got something sick in the works and it's great to see the release of his EP on Recovery Collective. We're all in for a treat when he releases the rest of his soundscape synthy production goodness he's got stashed away!
4. Shake That - Steve Darko
I love Steve Darko & I love Box of Cats so I was super stoked when this popped up in my promos and damn what a tasty and chunky tune. If you've read this far down my list, at this point you're realising I just froth a low rumbling synth and this is no exception! Paired with a stripped back perc groove, this is a heater.
5. 3D (Vincent Casanova Remix) - Dai-Dai
This breaks-y number layered with squelchy sounds is divine and primed for headphone listening. I love spaced out drums that leave room for all the sound design to shine through and capture your imagination!
