Enlightened Listening for January 8

It's our first real Friday of the year, which means it's high time to get back on the Enlightened Listening bandwagon. While we're just getting our feet under us, we're going to keep things short and sweet, both musically and with this description.

Nine new releases span 15 tracks that move from progressive house through a bevy of banging Apashe remixes to a killer conclusion from oh! gee. While I'm recommending all nine releases, I want to further highlight the tough Kerri Chandler remix of one of 2020's best, "Heartbreak," and the stunning High Contrast remix of "Freedom," which, in a truly random coincidence, I woke up singing yesterday. Dig into the weekly new music playlist below and find each individual release linked at the bottom.
