Enlightened Listening for March 15

Right to the point with this week's Enlightened Listening. No descriptions below just a straight shot of more melodic stuff to start moving towards twisted trap at the end. A big beautiful album from Karma Fields kicks things off, CRi and Ben Böhmer's EPs follow, slick singles from Basti Grub, Pete Tong and Carl Cox then round out the techno section. Dr. Fresch and Sinden then link up for a couple killer bass house tracks, and the energy only rises from there with High Contrast taking on Stevie Nicks "Edge Of Seventeen." The final seven selections then bring the bass with a couple top notch trap EPs, but special attention must be paid to Riton's remix of The Chemical Brothers. The more I hear from them, originals and remixes alike, the more baited my breath becomes in waiting for No Geography.

AC Slater - Outsiders Remixed Pt. 2

After playing Coachella last weekend, and ahead of his set again this Saturday (2:30 local in the Sahara Tent), Night Bass boss AC Slater just unleashed his second set of remixes from his Outsiders album. As usual the lineup is stacked with the likes of Jack Beats, Taiki Nulight, Phlegmatic Dogs and Kastle. If you're in the market for brash bass house tracks look no further. Stream/download here.

Jack Beats take on "Another You" will leave you seeing double, and maybe even keeling over seasick, as their old-school waves roll through your soul. Taiki Nulight leans into Scruffizer's vocals, punches up some piano and knocks up the noxious quality of the savage synth already present in "All About Paper." Phlegmatic Dogs follow that up with a banging beat that wobs for days, delivering the most dance ready track of the EP. Kastle then caps the fire foursome with a gorgeous garage-esque recasting of "Come Back," that like the prior two tracks mixes classic and cool rave feels with the callous and capricious bass house blitz. And truly this is the genius of Night Bass, they seem to have found the perfect balance of boundary pushing bass and smooth, satisfying club sounds.
