Having had a good run of releases under the Bwana moniker, Canadian producer and DJ Nathan Micay has recently decided to simply release music under his given name. This change has reinvigorated his output - after dropping cracking EPs for Whities and ESP Institute back in 2018, Micay now steps out with his first-ever full-length record.
The additional scope afforded by the LP format allows Micay to let his imagination run wild. Blue Spring contains some of the richest and most detailed work he has ever produced. While still rooted in the sounds of the club, this record also touches on dreamy synth-scape electronics, IDM, experimental rhythm tracks and cinematic sound design. It’s a rich, dense and colourful listen, one that seems intent on giving you little endorphin rushes at any opportunity. Anyone who’s come for more of the Bwana-style tech-house bangers should try something like ‘The Party We Could Have’ out for size.
Micay’s highly creative approach extends beyond the sounds of Blue Spring - the creation of the album artwork involved him writing a story that was then turned into a comic by Peter Marsden and Dominic Flannigan. The final result acts as both a tribute to Manga legend Katsuhiro Otomo and a perfect way into Blue Spring’s world of lush soundscaping and breathless production.
With Blue Spring the innovative Nathan Micay has created the sort of record you end up rooting for - this album is passionate, clever and friendly all at once.
