HomeSick
[Calgary, AB - GROUND MASS/PHILTHTRAX/DYNAMIX/PHYLA/FOOTWORK JUNGLE/DRED COLLECTIVE/ BENEFIT SOCIETY/LOWRISE SOUNDS]

HOMESICK was selected to be one of 3 Canadians to participate in this year's Red Bull Music Academy in Paris. This is a chance to party with this cat before he EXPLODES!

Shaun McHale has always had a taste for the energetic side of dance. A producer since his early teens, the Calgary-based musician first developed a love for Jungle, then its more frenetic cousin Footwork. His fascination with the genre was cemented after discovering Om Unit's Footwork edits of classic Jungle tunes (Footwork Jungle volumes 1-3).

Inspired, McHavle put together his own Footwork edit of Shy FX & UK Apache's Jungle anthem 'Original Nuttah', and HomeSick was born. What followed was track releases in the US, Canada, Asia, The UK, Australia and the founding of Footwork-Jungle.com, a blog dedicated to theFootwork sound.

2014 the VICE Media-owned music channel THUMP took notice and premiered his track 'Feelin' Me, Feelin U'.The fall of that same year saw the emergence of a new Footwork night in Calgary, PERCOLATE, hosted by HOMESICK alongside Cherriep of Philthkids and Fluxo.

“For I knew I needed to keep my cool and make the floor was spotted with blood and I found myself jumping in an empty room. I kept feeling younger and more agitated, the hissing and chattering noise grew louder and louder it was difficult and I talked to it.”
