Gotta love the life Fridays bring through all the new music that comes with it. This week's
Enlightened Listening sees some new names (
C.O.Z,
Parametric and more) alongside some old favourites including a handful of fantastic remixes. There's the likes of
Tennyson,
Hudson Mohawke,
Justin Martin,
GTA,
TroyBoi,
Dombresky and more. Stream below, find brief descriptions after the playlist and enjoy!
Tennyson - Face The Night*
Always inspired,
Tennyson craft some of the coolest and most unique pop productions. Such a vibe.
Kito - Pamplemousse (ft. Hudson Mohawke)
The night
Tennyson were getting us ready for. More potent percussion. Beautiful and mysterious.
Nick Monaco - River (Mija Remix)
Magical breakbeat mystery. Sublime, stunning soundscape. The voices, bass guitar and sax, just wow.
Strafe - Set It Off (Justin Martin Remix)
Cannot stop listening to this genius. The long version is the best of the 3 mixes, and it may be one of the best tracks of the year. Not sure why but I'm reminded of
Erol Alkan's "
Forever Dolphin Love." Its just got such a unique, undeniable allure.
EDDIE - Spiritual Contraband
The first of two
mau5trap EPs in this list. The more typical of the two, in that its progressive, beautifully crafted techno. The whole EP is definitely dance-worthy, but man is the title track ever good.
Antic - Turncoat
An awesome offering from
Anjunadeep. Wandering wonderment with a glitchy groove.
C.O.Z - Back & Forth
Expansive, line blurring blend of bass house/techno. Turn up the sub and let it do the dancing for you.
DJ Zinc & Chris Lorenzo - Gammy Elbow (Dnb Mixes)
I've never seen a remix package like this. Both artists offer their own DnB mixes of their collaboration. Really cool to hear Chris' version compared to Zinc's, his bass house background works wonders while Zinc's consistent quality continues to shine strong.
GTA & Tisoki - Botellas (ft. Godwonder)
Need to bring back
TWRK's mix series just for this. Unreal energy, cannot help but wile out to this.
Tails & Inverness - Skeleton (ft. Nevve)
TWRK,
Girl Trapz or
Get Right Radio, this one has that
Benzi stamp of approval as the first release on his new label
Parametric. One hell of a get down with vocals that lift you back up every time.
ODESZA - Falls Remixes
TroyBoi,
TOKiMONSTA, and
Photay all in one remix package? Oh and that's without mentioning
Kaskade and
The Glitch Mob. STACKED. Jaw dropping work from
TroyBoi as per usual.
TOKiMONSTA applies a pop polish perfectly, and
Photay freaks it out in fantastic fashion. Something for everyone.
Dombresky - Futurmastic
There is no version of
Dombresky I enjoy more than the melodic, chill, groovy version. This bright bounce number just feels like the perfect finale to any set or playlist. Exceptionally easy listening.
