Reliable cerebral dance party dude Bonobo is back with some new mixes of a couple of tracks off his celebrated Black Sands album, offering up a couple of new mixes of 'Kiara' from Cosmin TRG and Funkineven and one of 'Eyesdown' by Machinedrum. The first side opens with Cosmin TRG's fluid, pulsating mix with low-in-the-mix synth flutters and arpeggios underpinned by a hypnotic beat and sinister bassy synth, before the side closes with the lush heavily filtered weirdness of the original version. Meanwhile Machinedrum's take on 'Eyesdown' is a spooky, submerged-sounding thing with pulsing beats and Funkineven's 'Kiara' mix has sampled strings and snapping bass over ominous distorted synth for a spaced out hard techno end to this consistently interesting 12”.
• This 12” features the beautiful original version of the ‘Kiara’ taken from 2010’s critically acclaimed album ‘Black Sands’.
• The single also includes remixes by innovative producers Machinedrum (LuckyMe / Hotflush), Cosmin TRG and FunkinEven (Eglo records).
• Bonobo has become one of the premier, most listened to artists on Ninja Tune. He has a very diverse and loyal fanbase.
• ‘Black Sands’ has so far sold over 30,000 physical copies worldwide.
• Orange vinyl 12”.
