Bonobo

Yeah, once again a beautiful warm welcome to Dirty Disco episode 661 with me as your host and DJ Kuno Vidovic and for the next couple of hours i'm taking you through another carefully selected trip across deep house soulful grooves broken beats disco touches and some seriously good new music yeah now we are starting nice and warm today but don't get too comfortable because this mix keeps changing his shape.

Now coming up I've got fresh music from Xabi, a beautiful new crack and smack remix for Cootie Man and Mischa Sutherland, new Fort Romo, Bonobo, Damuja and quite a few tracks connected to the 30-year celebration of the legendary Rue Down parties in Freiburg.

Now there's a lot more tucked away in between.

Some proper soulful house from the SoulQuest camp.

Then we continue on to number four.

We have Bonobo and Joy Crooks with Always On Your Side.

Love Joy Crooks also.

Then we have Owen Sward.

You can text to Booth if you would like to reach out, 403-220-3991.

And here's some new music from Bonobo featuring Niloufer Yanya.

This is a track called Youth's Fountain.

Believe in seasons.

I really like these kinds of world music blends where musicians with sometimes sort of Cajun country roots in Louisiana, Southeast United States, often you can hear flavors of – I'd say elsewhere in the Caribbean, especially maybe from Haiti and that part of the world.

But in this case, a nod in the direction of the African roots of so much, in quotation marks, black music in the new world, again, in quotation marks, generally.

Bonobo was in that set as well.

Also from the UK, from Distance and Static with Niloufriana, a truck called Youth's Fountain.

[upbeat music] Hello, I'm John Kennedy, and joining me for this episode of Tape Notes is Simon Green.

The man may be better known as Bonobo.

I was joined by Si at Platoon Studios to dig into his latest record, Distance in Static, and it was great to catch up with him again.

Today, I'm at Platoon Studios and I'm joined by Simon, and what better way to start our conversation than by hearing something from Distance in Static.

This is Drift.

[upbeat music] It is Drift by Bonobo from the album Distance in Static, and I'm very pleased to say that I am in the company of Simon Green, AKA Bonobo.

Hello, Si.

How are you?

It's from Leak 0413.

Before Jay Paul was brand new from Bonobo.

It's from his new album Distance and Static.

which came out last Friday.

Maybe a double Album of the Week on there.

There's tracks from Black Bananas, Working Men's Club, Liars, Bonobo, This Is Lorelei, The Mighties.

And this first, another new track from Hercules and Love Affair.

It's called Night on the Town and will be from The Dancer.

You're welcome.

Always good to be here.

Yeah, we've got one more to go before we hand over to Reggae Time, and it's going to be from Bonobo, from possibly the last album by Bonobo, Distance is Static, came out yesterday.

This from it, and I'm going to try and times this, time this to the second, is Uncasually.

But that one's, like I say, kind of a Power Pop for you.

Before that, Bonobo, Simon Green's project, his latest album, Distance in Static, and we heard Me and You.

We're kind of in this thing together, and I hope you keep it that way.

We are produced and recorded through the facilities of Calcopyrite Communications.
