After an epic six hour edition of
Enlightened Listening last week, we've got a tight hour this week. It features an easy-going poppy intro moving through deep-house and disco before closing with club cuts and bass/g-house bangers.
Just before going to bed last night I caught the first new
Bearcubs in a while and immediate fell for its sublime subtlety, which reminded me of
SBTRKT. "
Overthinking" is followed by another return from hiatus in
Jack Garratt's "
Time." Moving and beautiful it is exactly the kind of song that recaptures the love and passion Garratt incited in his fans. Captivating vocals continue to rule the roost as
Amtrac glides in with glorious glistening groove "
Accountable."
Phaeleh then follows with a touch of two-step which borders brilliantly between easy-going and energizing. Much like "
Unity,"
Rylan Taggart's EP on
This Never Happened is as enjoyable lying in bed as it is in the club. Staying hot
Mat Zo is back on
Anjunabeats with percussion-led affair "
The Next Chapter."
The page then turns as disco enters via my favourite track of the list in
Alan Fitzpatrick's fantastic Fully Charged Mix of Patrice Rushen. More piano power comes in as
Yuksek graces
Glitterbox for a gorgeous take on
Risk Assessment. Bridging the gap between the hard hitting house still to come and the aforementioned disco,
GRiZ gets funky with a club mix of "
Could U" on
Night Bass.
Finally it's time for fire and
VOLAC brings us there, even if slightly understated, with the bumpy ride that is "
Baby Boy." Stumbling towards the end of this
Enlightened Listening,
Walker & Royce get sneaky with their sick remix of "
Loaded." Finally it's time to pay the tab as
BIJOU makes it rain with menacing cut "
Benjamins." Find everything via playlist below with individual links at the bottom. Enjoy!
