A Fusion of Global Sounds, Balkan Bump joins Midnight Agency

Midnight Agency welcomes Balkan Bump, the global electronic music project by Will Magid. A skilled trumpet player, producer, and ethnomusicologist, Balkan Bump fuses electronic production with global influences including Balkan brass, Middle Eastern and American hip hop sounds.

A Balkan Bump live show highlights Magid’s expertise as an orchestrator, ranging in size from a solo performer to a 12-piece band featuring a menagerie of global instruments including sitar, saz, oud, clarinet and trumpet. Popularity has brought the project to global renown with performances at Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lightning In A Bottle, Harvest Music Festival, CA WorldFest, and numerous appearances at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.


Balkan Bump debuted with the single “Aymo” alongside Slovenian producer Gramatik and American hip hop royalty Talib Kweli. Gramatik quickly championed the project, unveiling Balkan Bump's live show on his Re:Coil Tour and releasing Balkan Bump’s debut EP on his Lowtemp label imprint. Since then the Balkan Bump project has gone on to collaborate with global and live music projects Beats Antique and Moon Hooch; electronic superstars CloZee, Fakear, & Manic Focus; and American hip hop icon The Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious).

As a solo artist, Will Magid’s collaborations include Bonobo, Erykah Badu, Pretty Lights, and Solomon Burke. He has led various jazz and global music groups, and has supported global campaigns for brands like Warner Brothers, Uber, Porsche, HP, Vogue, GoPro, and Ubisoft. 

Audiences can anticipate a vibrant, culturally rich experience in Magid's live performances; one that showcases the depth and versatility of this musical project.
