Enlightened Listening for February 12

It's the weekend, which means it's time to warp the week's releases in a bow with another edition of Enlightened Listening. Headlining this three and a half hour playlist is the milestone tenth edition of mau5trap's We Are Friends compilation series. It features label stalwarts ATTLAS, EDDIE and No Mana, alongside even more veteran talent in Mord Fustang, Pig&Dan, Tommy Trash and Wolfgang Gartner. And yes, deadmau5 does indeed lead the otherwise alphabetized affair. Staying with the longer form releases, MPH leaves his mark on Night Bass with a brilliant debut there, while ten artists enter into ill.Gates' Producer Dojo for a couple fists full of fire remixes. Aside from those three releases, we're left with thirteen individual tracks. Of the standout singles, I'm particularly fond of the piano in the expansive beauty of "WITHIN ME" and the chromatic resplendence of "Beyond Belief" & "Pacific." It probably doesn't need to be said, but don't miss the Jamie Jones or TSHA remixes, nor the Sleepnet or OAKK singles, if you're into stylish & immersive tracks. Dig into the new music playlist below and find each individual release linked at the bottom. Apparently, it's a long weekend, so enjoy that too!

Black Caviar - Keep My High

New York City outfit Black Caviar continue to craft rich house cuts as today they take to Insomniac imprint IN / ROTATION for a new two track EP. While the lead single "Boing" brings an unreal bounce up-and-down power through its blackened bass, I find myself more in touch with b-side "Keep My High." Leaning lighter than its predecessor, it thrives through a pleasant piano backing and slick vocals. Both cuts are a stomping success, but the reaction on the dance-floor is where these two most differ. "Keep My High" will bring people together, sharing in its sublime soundscape, while "Boing" sends the floor into a fit of rage - feet, arms and elbows flying in every direction. All that said, the drop of the b-side is no weakling. Smartly combining all its elements, it serves as an exhale before subtly increasing your heart-rate with Black Caviar's brilliantly crafted percussion. Keep your high below and get it here.
