The name “Thumper” came from an old Korg MS-20 that had developed a bit of a ghost in the machine. During a late-night studio session, this particular synth started making an insistent, almost sentient low-end pulse... and no matter what we programmed, this ghostly thump kept wanting to creep back in and be heard. Instead of fighting it, we named it “Thumper” after the way it seemed to kick against the walls of whatever sequence we built around it. That rogue pulse became the heartbeat of what would eventually become our new single, and ironically, in the end, after we built the track around it, we muted it. #cvche #minimaltechno #getfluffy #techno #dancemusic #antimusic #music #fourte

Canadian supergroup CVCHE, which is made up of Jimmy Shaw (Metric, Broken Social Scene), Liam O’Neil (Kings of Leon), and Dave Hodge (Broken Social Scene, Leisure Cruise) as well as conceptual artist Jon Morris, just released their new single “Thumper”, and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
