In partnership with International Womens' Day that was held on the 8th March 2012, Ninja Tune have kindly sent us a track unveiling a specially compiled EP containing five other tracks (featuring Banks remix of 'Lost Where I Belong' as an exclusive), and some other examples from Roots Manuva, Yppah and Speech Debelle's singles in remix formats. 'Lost Where I Belong' (Banks Remix) is an earthy and stony experience, but a pleasant enough production to listen to effortlessly which warrants out any other distraction a rival track may bring. Take a listen for yourself [...]

A Grumpy Old Man With A Beard loves the ladies. Oh yes he does. And Ninja Tune loves the ladies too - so much so in fact, that they're giving away a bunch of music to celebrate International Women's Day 2012 . Alright, so IWD was actually yesterday (curses on you, time difference). But the love is still there. Oh yes it is. And so are the downloads. Six tunes from artists on the Ninja Tune roster are on offer for your downloading pleasures today, covering a myriad of hip hop and [...]
Bonobo's insanely smooth Black Sands released almost two years ago, however now he's on the promotional push behind the follow up, Black Sands Remixed. The album features reworks from the likes of Machinedrum, Falty DL, Floating Points, and the bubbling Lapalux. Last night Bonobo took over the Boiler Room along with help from Lapalux, which will hopefully become available online in the near future. Today we get the slick visuals for the "Eyesdown" remix featuring vocals from the always lovely Andreya Triana, this time with some added bars from DELS. Be on the [...]

Bonobo 'Eyesdown' featuring Andreya Triana and DELS. Taken from the Bonobo 'Black Sands Remixed' album released 13 Feb (EU) / 21 Feb (NA) on Ninja Tune. iTunes: Black Sands Remixed (Bonus Track Version) - Bonobo
Ninja Tune staple Bonobo, delivers his usual down-tempo syncopated dopeness whilst Dels and Ms. Triana paint a picture ala Tupac Shakur's "Brenda's Got a Baby." This joint is good enough on its own but the visuals are what brings it all together. The projection technique we've seen popularized by the TDE crew is used here but in a different way. Water, fire, wood, electricity and blood bring the video alive. The projected earth elements give the otherwise empty house a feeling of depth and movement. For the animated Machine Drum remix shoot the J.

We love Bonobo . We love DELS . Here they are in holy matrimony on the rework of 'Eyesdown' for the new album Black Sounds Remixed
To promote the forthcoming remix album for Bonobo 's already-classic 2010 release Black Sands , Ninja Tune tapped animator Anthony Scheppard to give us some decidedly mind-bending visuals for Machinedrum 's remix of "Eyesdown." The insanely prolific Machinedrum continues his winning streak with the remix, adding a peppy, juke-influenced drum pattern to replace the original's jazzy saunter, offsetting it with some genuinely sinister bass and using the altered context to make Andreya Triana 's sultry vocals more appropriate for the club than the cocktail lounge. Scheppard's trippy animation takes heavy influence from Ralph Bakshi as well [...]

Bonobo is my dude and I'm just now introduced to DELS, the UK emcee on this joint. It's good. Real good.

Today's post celebrates one of my favorite producers/musicians currently making music. I've disappointed myself by not having posted more of his incredible sounds before, but I intend to make up for this immediately. Also, check out how awesome the above picture is - Bonobo in the woods with an SP-1200 - freaking brilliant. Without further ado, here's Bonobo.

Simon " Bonobo " Green took his career to the next level in 2010 when he released Black Sands . The soulful full-length showcased his impressive writing talent and gave rising soul star Andreya Triana some time in the spotlight before she released her Green-produced debut, Lost Where I Belong , which featured two songs penned with fellow Ninja Tune singer/songwriter Fink. Green has announced the upcoming release of Black Sands Remixed , a sprawling 14-track remix compilation coordinated with assistance from DJ/Ninja Tune label head Alexander Nut. Lapalux, Cosmin TRG, ARP101 (a.k.a. drum 'n' bass producer [...]
Lianne La Havas is a budding singer/songwriter who's going to be a major player over the next 12 months. This fabulous performance for 'The Black Cab sessions' is quite lovely and brings smiles to our faces. We suggest you get familiar now, you'll be hearing about her a lot. Enjoy the delightful video above.
Maya Jane Coles has blown up in the last year or so with her deep and techy house releases, each production marked by a distinctive warmth. Producing under another alias, Nocturnal Sunshine, she turns her hands to the dubstep template. Her snappy yet gentle snares are offset by some nicely understated bass, a complement to Alpines soulful, ethereal vocal work. A stunning remix: Alpines - Cocoon (Nocturnal Sunshine Remix) {128kbps} [pelski highly recommends] Half a year old this one... Tokimonsta slaps some crunchy, utterly satisfying hip-hop beats over Adreya Triana's [...]

Evil Needle-Jazzolude #2 Download audio file (Jazzolude-2.mp3) I couldn't really figure out the tone I wanted this volume of Rendezvous to have. So it was fitting when Noah sent me the cover artwork and it looked like braille or an encryption you have to decode. However, after playing the songs in this one, I have to say it's one of my favorites I've done in a while. Songs like "Manifestations" aren't conventionally "sexy" but to me there's something sultry about them. These [...]
