Enlightened Listening for December 4

It's the tenth and final Bandcamp day of 2020, and once again they're waving their revenue share until midnight PST. Below I've cataloged (alphabetically) 16 new releases as part of this all Bandcamp edition of Enlightened Listening. Of course, I'm recommending this entire eclectic collection of releases, but I'll briefly showcase a select few next.

Leading the way, akaMatisse, the keys of Keys N Krates, launches his first solo release in fabulous fashion - perfect for a rainy or snowy day. Following right behind that, TEED stays hot with a wicked groovy remix of Darkstar. Further down the list, we find one of my most anticipated releases of the year in Kotek's Sonoglyph Pt. 2, which further illustrates his inimitable talent and approach. Staying with top-notch Canadians, Nathan Micay's mark on the new HBO show Industry is indelible as he's scored the soundtrack, and it's out now on LuckyMe. Immediately after that is the title track from OAKK's forthcoming EP WAARP, which drops in full on December 11th. Finally, Zeds Dead deliver 10 'new' tracks from their vaults (originally made sometime between 2008/9).

TYPE3 & Sebastian Knight - Boombox

For years Botnek have been among my favourite artists, frolicking in their fiery electro/bass/house bangers. It was always their most wild, unrestrained releases that brought me the most pleasure and sent me into tizzies on the dance floor. In fact I believe my most manic times in the club came when they were on the decks. So to say I was excited when they announced their own label, World Famous Headquarters, would be a grave understatement. Still in its infancy, it is this seventh release, "Boombox" from Vegas residents TYPE3 and Sebastian Knight, that has me sold on its electrifying output.

Labelled fidget house, a subgenre a friend and I were just lamenting as seemingly fallen to the wayside, "Boombox" is a certified banger; a track you can most certainly lose your mind to. Absolutely jacking and seemingly ready to explode at any moment, it speeds through with rapid fire wobs and maniacal samples. It bombards your senses but in the best way possible; it is no thrown together collection of sounds but rather a potent progression of pleasure. Like classic Crookers, Jack Beats or even Botnek, this one is sure to set fire to the floor and has already received support from the likes of LondonBridge, Pasquale Rotella and Martin Garrix.
