Enlightened Listening for May 24

This week's Enlightened Listening features several superb EPs, a couple exceptional remixes and a whole heap of fire. We start with Qrion and Spencer Brown linking up for a beautiful EP on Anjunadeep, before upping the energy and groove with Detroit Swindle's sense-tingling Rhythm Girl Swing. Next up is Prins Thomas who puts his space age magic touch on Cooper Saver's "Star System." Following that are three equally awesome EPs, all of the darker, more banging house variety. Hotfire leans towards the G-house side especially with "Criminal," and while Matroda very much follows suit, his 4 tracks bring a bigger, more ominous magnitude, best noted in "Another Day." Rounding out this thunderous trio, Magnificence electrifies with each of the first three tracks doling out diabolic drums and drops, while the final "Encore" offers up an expansive, quieting denouement. Jumping back into explosive energy Buku goes ballistic with absolutely no remorse. Changing gears with the tempo and flipping Lemaitre on their head, Coucheron whips up a wildly twisted trap banger. Finally, Duke & Jones team up with Lucchii for the jaw dropping "Deception," equally likely to make your backbone slide or break your neck.
