Enlightened Listening for January 31

This first month of 2020 closes on a high note with a jam-packed edition of Enlightened Listening. Spanning over 75 tracks and 6 hours, there's bunches of bangers, albums aplenty and more remixes than you can shake a stick at. Unfortunately I'm pressed for time so I'll have to keep the descriptions quick, but here we go!

A couple cohesive and thoughtful albums open as ATTLAS and Spencer Brown show off their incredible aptitude for immersive and beautiful productions. Deep house turns techy as the next four releases (two singles and two EPs) reach epic, expansive poise and power. In a week in which Dawn Chorus got a JUNO nomination, Jacques Greene ups the ante with 12 incredible remixes from the likes of Lunice, Big Miz, CFCF and others. Things turn euphoric as the following four tracks (a pair of each singles and remixes) soar and shine, highlighted by the return of Duck Sauce. With the energy now at its peak courtesy the acid of Elliot Adamson, Machinedrum and Holly's EP pairs perfectly with ingenious and propulsive albums from Squarepusher and Text Chunk & Hood Joplin. Finally as a cherry on top of this musical melange, we get 10 new tracks from Night Bass which are sure to have dance-floors shaking well into the year. Enjoy everything via playlist below and find individual releases linked at the bottom.
