toronto born, berlin based dj/producer nathan micay (formerly bwana) will release his highly anticipated debut album, ‘blue spring’, via luckyme.

nathan micay (formerly bwana) steps out under his own name for the first time with a pair of glistening panoramas well-primed for those exultant hours of the early morning. the 12inch opens with first casualty, aka that track played by avalon in her printworks set last year, before heading into deeper territories with beginning ballads on the flip. in nathans words: these are without a doubt the most personal tracks i have written to date. i made them as a sort of exercise in self-therapy during my first few months in berlin. as time has gone on, more meanings have unfolded with each listen. for me, these tracks are a rebuttal to the endless churn of negativity in the news and online. they have become my battle cry in the club, something to mobilize while also offering a chance to escape it all, even briefly.

schvitz edits returns for its second release with a 12inch sure to ignite dance floors this summer and beyond! having found gold on a debut release filled with unexpected and unique flips of non dance music classics, nathan micay aka bwana keeps the fire going, this time with some help from his friends. on side-a we are treated to a fierce stomping take on dead can dances timeless song of sophia, courtesy of everyones favourite berlin via arizona sparkly desert rat. on the flip, glasgow favourite perko re-crafts sergio mendes magalenha into a driving tour de force. a great return for one of the freshest edits labels in the game at the moment!
