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!

Enlightened Listening for May 20

Once again I'm late with this week's Enlightened Listening, but as always these tunes deserve showcasing. Starting funky Gramatik and Big Gigantic get together for some fat grooves, which Goldroom then follows with a cool, glistening joint. Slightly more spaced out, Massimiliano Pagliara blends disco and acid in his remix of "Zone Non Linear." Another rolling ride follows with Amtrac's chugging "Formal Disco," which is then followed by the latest luxuriousness of Kölsch. Things get progressive as we turn to the evaporating ease of "Car Park In The Sky," before Jaytech blasts things back to earth with "Tigerlily." Techno then takes over with another unreal EP from mau5trap in Sara Landry's Wait. Finally the inimitable, both wonderfully organic and entirely unearthly, sound design of thook turns the final trick with NOISE. Find individual releases at the bottom and stream below.
