After last week's 14 track edition of
Enlightened Listening we're back to big business here with 16 releases and nearly 50 tracks. This week features the long anticipated release of
Tame Impala's
The Slow Rush, the second ever offering from
No Neon and tons of incredible techno. Enjoy via playlist after the break, find each release linked individually linked at the bottom and read brief descriptions next.
Opening this epic 4 hour 21 minute journey is of course
Tame Impala and his increasingly electronic album
The Slow Rush. A perfect place to start if I do say so myself.
Murtagh follows the psychedelic LP with a couple moving cuts before
No Mana transports us his sensational
Secret Level. Diverse in its delivery, there's a lot to like in this album as its power grows progressively stronger. The robust roll-out continues as
Mathame make massive waves with
For Every Forever on
Afterlife. Staying supremely strong, we're then treated to two new
Marc Romboy multitudes (something I'd been craving and searching for as recently as yesterday).
This year has already offered up some ridiculously awesome tunes and the basis of this next EP is yet another.
Market Memories' "
Rain Dance" is beyond brilliant and both
ABSOLUTE. and
Doppel deliver dope remixes. Like I said last month I'm already excited about this year's best of list and you better believe one of these three versions will make this cut. It is that cool.
Turning more epic in their arc and delivery (as if that were possible), the next two releases are masterclasses in movement as
No Neon welcomes
Craig Williams &
Pantheon and
Glenn Morrison taps
Petar Dundov for a resplendent remix of his already divine "
Tangerine Dream."
Yotto and
Colyn then take us on two equally alluring journeys through
Joris Voorn's
Four.
Moonwalk then have me hyperventilating with "
Salem," my favourite of the awesome 3 track
Alba EP.
After the dark burn of "
Phoenix,"
Luttrell and
Dusky bring the playlist back into the light with "
Some Other Time" and
Life Signs Vol. 2, respectively. The fun and funkiness of the latter then lead into an absolutely brilliant and slick
Botnek production "
Take Me Higher." The acid get-down of that leads very nicely into a jaw-dropping version of all-time classic "
Sweet Dreams" courtesy
Average Gypsy.
Finally, the playlist closes with yet another incredible
Peggy Gou production, "
Jigoo" with Maurice Fulton, only to be followed by an utterly euphoric take on
Myd's "
Superdiscoteca" from
nit.
