Enlightened Listening for February 5

With the first Friday of the month comes Bandcamp day and another edition of Enlightened Listening hosted on said platform. Sorted alphabetically and ranging from dubstep & grime to disco & DnB, this week's crop is highlighted by Skream's massive third and final installment in his Unreleased Classics series. It features two of Skream's most sought after weapons and WIPs, "Lemon" and "Requestline VIP." Staying with sonic assassins, there are further hard hitters from Abstrakt Sonance, Lunice and TRENCH FOOT. However, I have to give Laces "The Ridge" and the Nothingnice & Hayz collab "Hawkeye" their own shine as their shiver-inducing quality has led them to be stuck in my head. Taking a lighter, more lush turn, Emissive, Jesse Futerman and Aeroplane, paint with an incredible array of colours, each soulful and soothing in their own sublime style. Find each individual release linked below along with a Bandcamp stream where applicable...
