Enlightened Listening for July 3

Bandcamp is at it again, once again waiving their fees, and of course that means this edition of Enlightened Listening returns to the popular platform. This week I've opted to add embeds for ease of access, but will refrain from doing release by release breakdowns and rather highlight those that require/deserve a little more shine. It's a diverse list with a number of killer compilations so take your time and be sure to check out each release, and of course purchase those that resonate with you.

Highlights/breakdowns: Cassius' final record with Philippe Zdar finally gets a digital release and it couldn't be a better, more fitting or prescient production. Absolutely one of the tracks of the year. GRRL's Marathon is incredibly powerful and immersive, a testament to their tremendous taste and ever thriving energy. Jaymie Silk's output this year has been stunning and this new release is reflective both of that and the trying times we're in - a truly brilliant (however dark) project. The BOOST TAPE is basically a who's who in trap, bass and all adjacent genres, and for just $10 is an absolute steal (not to mention it's all going to The Movement For Black Lives). Finally, the four-pack of "Mountains" remixes is too stacked not to showcase: 2x Paul Woolford, The Patchouli Brothers and Joey Negro. WOW.

Enlightened Listening for June 5

Bandcamp continues to flex on its counterparts by once again waiving its revenue share today. So with that in mind I'm once again turning my weekly new release series Enlightened Listening to Bandcamp.

As with previous editions, I've simply listed the releases below as there is no playlist system for a single embed (a la Spotify). Of the 20 releases cataloged below, a large number are pay what you want and even more are donating the collected proceeds to charity. In the list you'll find plenty of DnB and jungle type tracks, a bunch of edit packs, a couple compilations and even a mix.

Of course I'm recommending each and every of these releases, but I'm particularly fond of the edit packs from dope, Nike Bike & The Patchouli Brothers, the Skream & Tom Demac EP, Ryan Hemsworth's 100% unreleased mix, and the Swing Ting Remixes & Rarities compilation.

Finally, I'll close by recommending you check out the music being shared on Twitter today as this is but a mere drop in the ocean of excellent offerings out there. Have a great weekend and stay safe!

Enlightened Listening for March 20

This week's Enlightened Listening is a little different. Instead of hosting all the releases in a Spotify playlist, I've opted to move to Bandcamp because they've waved sales fees for the day in order to help artists dealing with lost income as a result of COVID-19. Sadly Bandcamp does not have a playlist feature, so you'll have to click through to hear each release, and please be patient as they're obviously dealing with higher than normal traffic. Also note that some of the releases are "name your price," so while you don't have to pay, please do if you can. We're all in this together after all. Enjoy, and stay safe and sane.

Nick Bike - March 2020 Edits
Fun, club friendly mashups from the master. Chic vs Doja Cat. Kanye vs Childish Gambino. Etc.

Pat Lok - Party Licks Vol. 1
Funky remixes of classic cuts from Daft Punk, Rihanna, Phoenix, and more.

Ticklish - Ticklish Reboots Vol. 7.2
Juke, footwork and bass takes on popular RnB and rap tracks, including an unreal take on "The Box."

Ase Manual - Fuji Club Music
Even more bass and club focused than the above, Manual always injects energy into his beats.

Jaymie Silk - Diasporave Part 1 and Part 2
Hypnotic and powerful, Silk's productions are always ear-opening and truly inspired.

Martyn Bootyspoon - NO. 1 CRUSH REMIXES
All the acid you can handle in these gorgeous get-downs.

Slick Shoota - True Romance & China Blue (Slick Shoota Bootlegs)
Peak energy. Maybe not the best for quarantine, but we all need to let loose every once in a while.

MSSINGNO - CAYA / GUIDERS / HIGHLIKE2
The enigmatic producer is in fine form with three new sublime singles like only he can craft.

 Demora - First Sessions
Persuasion and softcoresoft combine for three live sessions wandering through dub, techno and rave.

CFCF - Blowing Up The Workshop 48
A mix now split up into an album. Expansive and full of organic instrumentation. Perhaps the coolest of all of the releases.

Ekcle - Pearl Jigsaw Remixes
Three equally engrossing remixes, each with their own amazing power and poise.

Kontravoid - Too Deep Remixes
Gothic, industrial remixes. I'm extra partial to these 1) because I absolutely love "Cost Of Life" and 2) I'm getting tastes of Rammstein, especially in Fractions remix of "So It Seems."

Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Riva Starr Paradise Garage Extended Remix)
Defected stays epic. 12 hours of live content on their Youtube and nearly 13 minutes of Riva Starr here.

Paul Chin - Full Spectrum
Brilliant and beautiful throughout. Polished and powerful. Really, really well done. Obviously I'm recommending each of these releases, but this is the one I'd suggest to the most people. That good.

Ric Wilson & The Kount - selfdistance2020
The Kount is everywhere and the world is a better place for it. Couple nice little pick-me-ups here.

Paragon Cause - Lost Cause
The right send off for this list. Stride triumphantly into the dream soundscape led by Opthof's vocals.

Luniz - I Got 5 On It (Jaymie Silk Edition)

One of the best gifts we got over the holidays was the trailer for Jordan Peele's forthcoming film, Us. Prominently featured in that clip, and seemingly garnering as much hype as the film itself, was a darker version of Luniz classic "I Got 5 On It." Today, as a part of his new Sorry I Don't Do Drugs EP, Jaymie Silk has taken advantage of that bloodcurdling cover and given it his own twist. Staying true to his club roots, Silk scorches the original with a blend of jungle, DnB and gabber, while paying penance to the eerily lurid and irksome twist found in the trailer. The screeches send shivers down your spine, the chords have your hairs standing on end, and the ominous atmosphere overwhelms. That said, Silk saves our souls by providing the power to combat the calignosity with capoeira (dance-fighting). The hard hitting, hyper force of the DnB sections soundtrack the fight against evil or, in the case of the film, your shadow self. Get the powerful reproduction of "I Got 5 On It" as part of the Sorry I Don't Do Drugs EP here and be sure to follow the genius that is Jaymie Silk with his socials below.FOLLOW JAYMIE SILK: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
