Simon Green from Brighton first released music as Bonobo in the late 1990s, when the world was gripped by an unprecedented enthusiasm for lounge/chill-out CD compilations.
While such releases quickly dated with their imitated and repetitive sound, Bonobo’s detailed, downbeat compositions retained a vibrancy.
Bonobo’s Black Sanda LP, released in 2010, demonstrated his continued growth as an artist, showcasing an increasingly sophisticated blend of soulful, beat-based tracks. Black Sands Remixed is a fitting tribute, and an admirable companion piece to the earlier album, featuring memorable re-workings from an impressive array of Bonobo’s production peers.
In the hands of Mark Pritchard, Stay the Same is transformed into a mechanised torch song, accentuating Andreya Triana’s searching vocals within a more sparse sonic frame.
Elsewhere Letherette deliver a signature psychedelic hip-hop overhaul of All In Forms, Falty DL offers a mid-tempo boogie-house version of the same song, and Machinedrum chops and slices Eyesdown into a futuristic breakbeat workout.
