“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.

Now is the time to get acquainted with Colin Thomas and his vast spectrum of bassline-driven productions. Hot off a massive 2019, the Toronto-based producer is without a doubt one to watch in 2020. 

Hailing from the City of Roses, Colin Thomas has naturally been influenced by the hip hop scene, but finds his distinct stride in dance music. The result often thrives somewhere between bass house, tech house, or any variation, but there’s no sense in labeling a vibe. 

This past year has generated an exciting mix of releases via House Of Hustle, OKNF AND Nite Records. Whether it’s the lush, gritty nature of “One,” his booty shaking “Disco,” or frisky rhythms heard in "Too Much” — Colin Thomas consistently turns heads with his genre-bending approach.

Having made his mark in night clubs, from Detroit to Toronto, Colin Thomas continues to give the crowd exactly what they came for. With a catalog that boasts a blend of deep cuts and late night bangers, this rising talent guides the function with conviction.

Keep an ear out for Colin Thomas, because this won’t be the last time you hear the name.
