Enlightened Listening for August 13

Another week, another incredible edition of Enlightened Listening. Coming in at just under 40 tracks and 3 hours, there are all kinds of goodies in store here. First up, Brock Edwards dazzles with an awesome saxophone-led dub of his own "Up At Dawn." A second dub follows as MK makes good on his "Chemical" with a classic IV dub. Upbeat energy follows with a trio of DnB tracks, highlighted by a divine instrumental from Platinum Breaks.

Moving to longer-form releases, the next two come from Juelz and Feed Me, both bringing the bass with their own established brands of fire. Resetting things with a run of singles, the playlist pushes on with an invigorating take on Alan Parsons Project classic "Sirius," courtesy Armin van Buuren and AVIRA. Staying nostalgic, 1990-classic "The Age Of Love" gets a fearsome facelift from Charlotte de Witte and Enrico Sangiuliano. Finally, our run of fire ends with a bang thanks to the ingenious guttural growls of Kage in "The Zone."

Part punningly, part sonically fitting, the next three releases follow from "The Zone," as "Perpetual Motion" eventually leads to "The Hangover." The Fort Romeau mix of "Perpetual Motion" is equally epic and elegant, the following Neighbour remix of "Going Late" is groovy and gorgeous, and finally, Bush League's "The Hangover" is unavoidably infectious and undeniably head-pounding. Lastly, the playlist closes with lush, sensual stuff from Moullinex, Anderholm, and CRi, each of which features sublime, soulful synths.

Enlightened Listening for April 2

It's the first Friday of the month, and while it's a holiday, it's still Bandcamp Friday. Once again, we're hosting our weekly new music playlist Enlightened Listening on said platform. However, there is a bit of a change this month. One of my complaints with Bandcamp is the lack of ability to build playlists. Obviously, I wasn't the only one who noticed this glaring omission as Lon Beshiri built BNDCMPR, a new playlist platform for Bandcamp. While it's still a bit cumbersome, I was able to build a playlist for this week's Enlightened Listening. Find it here. Also cataloged alphabetically, find each individual release linked below. There's an incredible new album from Iglooghost, a flurry of fabulous edits from LUXXURY, an exhilarating freebie from Jelani and more! Dig in below and enjoy!

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Apashe - Renaissance Remixes

Already riding a four-episode streak of Apashe remixes, Bump In The Hump will continue to climb the mountain of Renaissance Remixes tonight. One of the 2020's greatest projects, the original LP is not only a modern-day masterpiece but indeed an inspiration for these 28 new takes and countless others. Throwing caution to the wind when combining all manner of bass with a full orchestra, Apashe has shown that experimentation and risk-taking can certainly captivate. That same spirit of inventiveness appears in each of these remixes ranging from KOAN Sound and BIJOU to Vanic and Qrion. Stream each of the Renaissance Remixes below, get them from your preferred source here, and catch one of them on Bump In The Hump tonight, live from 7-9 EST on Radio Humber, or after the fact on Mixcloud.
