8 Tracks: That Kept The Fire Burning – Booma Collective

A lot of good things have stemmed from Canada: maple syrup, poutine, ice hockey and gender equality within politics. Underground music has been steadily pouring out of various cities around the country: from Mood Hut in Vancouver to 1080p and Pacific Rhythm there has been a real surge in activity within the scene. Booma Collective are a group of artists based in Montréal. Their recent release is a compilation of tracks which capture the atmosphere of the intimate parties the crew threw in the city between 2012 and 2014: an ode to late nights in small rooms.
Some of the crew told R$N of the inspiration and music behind Booma, and what has led them to where they are as a team today..

Solpara’s Selection: When I first heard Laurie Spiegel’s music on a college radio in my friend’s car, it was kind of a huge revelation musically. The radio host played the reissue of “The Expanded Universe” record in its entirety. This track has a special rhythmic and hypnotic quality that may take your mind somewhere else if you block everything else out. If you drop this in a DJ set it can also bring the energy of a room into a new headspace.
