Enlightened Listening for February 21

This week's Enlightened Listening runs through smooth grooves before heading through the house trifecta of deep, disco and bass. There's two killer compilations, an unreal album from Claude VonStroke and a sublime single from Bullion. Enjoy via playlist below, read brief description next and find each individual release linked at the bottom.

Fun, synth-driven singles from Jessy Lanza and Bullion will have you swooning before Sultan + Shepard's Kochi EP thrusts you towards the dance-floor. The next two releases really help you explore the floor as A-Trak & Ferreck Dawn collab "Coming Home" speaks to your soul and Jaded's Ounces inspires eccentric moves. Things turn euphoric and upbeat with the next two as Kiesza conquers another top-end and Will Easton whips up a ravey remix of Duke Dumont's "Therapy." Remixes rule the next two as a trio take on Dombresky (while adding a new original of his own) and legends Kenny Dope and Mat Zo offer up uniquely powerful mixes of Moon Boots. Staying legendary, Freaks & Beaks marks the triumphant return of Claude VonStroke fresh off an excellent Essential Mix last weekend. Finally it's all bass and house as dozens of artists combine over two compilations from Dr. Fresch's The Remedy Vol. 2 (standouts from Cloverdale, Pretence and the doctor himself) and Koos' blanc sur noir, Vol. 3 (standouts from Bellorum, Castion, GODAMN, CYMN and Koos himself).
