Blue Spring

Toronto’s Nathan Micay first rose to prominence under the alias Bwana, where he released everything from of-the-moment post-dubstep like 2011’s “Baby, Let Me Finish” to anthemic progressive house tracks like 2014’s “Flute Dreams”, gradually leading to more ambitious, concept-driven releases like the Akira-inspired 2016 mini-album Capsule’s Pride. But it was with last year’s “First Casualty” that Micay’s work took on a new dimension. Tellingly released under his own name, “First Casualty” was a euphoric, melodic club record that became an underground anthem, sitting somewhere between progressive house, trance, and techno, but ultimately just sounded like – well, like Nathan Micay.
