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 [...]

Komplex, feinsinnig, fabelhaft. Mit seinem Album „ Black Sands " machte Bonobo im letzten Jahr in der mittlerweile "geschlossenen" Maria halt um uns mit seiner Musik zu begeistern und zu erfreuen. Es war ein wunderbarer Abend mit wundervollen Klängen. Nun haben sich wiederum einige Künstler berufen gefühlt sich an die Songs seines letzten Albums zu begeben, um sie neu zu interpretieren. Und da diese ihr Handwerk durchaus verstehen, dürfen wir uns glücklich schätzen am Donnerstag Abend die Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums „ Black Sands Remixed " im Gretchen zu erleben. Die zahlreiche [...]

It's been said that it's hard to rely on artists to release what is essentially the same album over and over again, yet still maintain a sense of evolving direction and also a fresh set of ideas.... Download your favourite album at The Mood Indicator

This double A-side single release from The Black Sand is their first professional studio recording. They have been simmering for a year in their Collier's Wood mansion-house, cultivating their unique sound, making contacts, and investing in shiny toys, and now they are ready to boil over and soak London with their guitar-led, alt-rock, genre-hopping eruption. The setup of the band is a tried and tested formula - pretty-boy front man,... Read more..

Magnifique vidéo enregistré lors d'un des lives au Roundhouse à Londres, Stay The Same , dixième track du dernier album de Bonobo en featuring avec la voix envoutante d' Andreya Triana . J'en profite pour annoncer que le troisième EP tiré de Black Sand , Stay The Same sortira le 26 juillet chez Ninja Tune .
The best two albums I have heard so far to come out in 2010 come from Bonobo and Four Tet , Simon Green (Bonobo) from Brighton, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) from Putney, both English and both musical geniuses in music composition and production. Bonobo's fourth album 'Black Sands' mixes the best in electronic production and live instrumentation and features Andreya Triana , another amazing talent from the UK who provided vocals for the ground-breaking Flying Lotus track - 'Tea Leaf Dancer.' Four Tet's newest album 'There Is Love In You' [...]
Coming through Austin this Wednesday is Ninja-Tune artist Bonobo hailing from Brighton, UK. Following the release of his 4 th full length album, Black Sands , DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Simon Green (aka Bonobo) took a moment to answer some questions for us. Follow the jump for the interview. ATH: How are you enjoying the US so far? SG: It's good; we've been through Chicago, New York and are selling out shows, which have been a [...]

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars 4 years ago, Simon Green (better known for his moniker Bonobo) changed directions. What emerged was 2006's Days To Come ; what many critics believed to be the high water mark for the project. What these critics were unaware of at the time, is that it was just Green becoming comfortable in his own skin. The release showed a different side of Green's DJ and producing style relying on more bass heavy tunes and the obvious influence of vocals as an added [...]
In an interview I read recently with Mount Kimbie they commented on the fact that "electronic music doesn't really lend itself to albums." This, certainly, is something that I feel plagues a lot of electronic producers; too used to producing singles, or tracks for DJs to spin in clubs, the process of an album, seems to lose momentum. In fact, despite my love for electronic music, the number of whole albums that I see could stand up against non-electronic counterparts is depressingly thin. It may be the sheer nature of electronic music; it is meant to be [...]

Bonobo (aka Simon Green) returns with his fourth album entitled " Black Sands ". Available on the Ninja Tunes label from the 29th of March it's possibly his finest work to date - and an album I've had on heavy rotation the last few weeks. Featuring a wealth of real instruments (not heard all that often in dance music as a rule......unfortunately) the album spans genre's - from dub two step, to hip hop, to breakbeat - and features chopped up vocal samples, lush strings, and sub bass. In places it also reminds me of [...]

Bonobo - Kota Exciting things are afoot, of which there are a number, but one of the most pertinent.... the new Bonobo album is on the way!!! And so to celebrate, the very first Bonobo song I ever heard (above) which is still one of my all time favourites, and the first song of his new record, Black Sands (below), one of my current favourites. Black Sands is released on the 29th of this month, until then, [...]
