Enlightened Listening for June 4

After a week off, we return to our new music playlist in a big way. This week's edition of Enlightened Listening features fifteen releases, largely in the funky sphere, but gets further driving and dark the deeper it goes. If there is one theme, it is the guitar (bass and otherwise). The oft underused instrument plays a varied role in several of this week's standout tracks, including particularly enjoyable iterations from ARTY, Myd and Lamorn. The latter mau5trap release, along with singles from Gaspard Augé and Rampa, and minds&machines' "Resurrected" make up my favourite four tracks of the week. The final third of the playlist, which holds all of the longer releases, features the second sensational EP from Hyunji-A in as many weeks, the deadly good debut EP from Afterlife & Tale Of Us founder Anyma, and another epic delivery from Drumstone, who continue to amaze at every turn. Finally, there's a massive compilation in Interzone that features killer new content from Cardopusher, Gesaffelstein, Djedjotronic and more! Stream everything now below and find each release linked individually at the bottom.

Bump In The Hump Sneak Peak: Eekkoo - Labyrinth

I just got back from a bike ride, and I can confirm it feels like June out there, and summer is most definitely on the way. Before then, we've got a couple of episodes of Bump In The Hump that return to two full hours of new Canadian electronic and dance as we put My Mixtape on a brief pause. Tonight's episode overflows with techno, trap, psytrance and a downpour of disco and DnB. We go up and down and all around, and because of that, the best tease of the episode is Eekkoo's "Labyrinth." While still immense in its essential, short edit form, Eekkoo's latest mau5trap majesty is much better enjoyed in its extended form (below). It showcases the enduring power of the piano, pulling you ever closer until you're lost forever in its captivating clutches. Get "Labyrinth" as part of new release Eleven and hear it as part of Bump In The Hump, live tonight from 7-9 PM EDT, or after the fact as cataloged on Mixcloud.
