Bonobo 'Eyesdown' (Warrior One Remix) - Free Download
Simon Green aka Bonobo returns with one of the key cuts from his forthcoming album, 'Black Sands'. Drawing as much on the rhythms of two-step as the lush soundscapes for which he�s best known, 'Eyesdown' also features a remarkable vocal from Andreya Triana and enough fuzzed-out sub-bass for a binful of dubsteppers. Classic and contemporary, melancholy and exhilarating all at once, 'Eyesdown' sounds like the kind of record Massive Attack could be making if they were starting out now.
'Eyesdown' featuring Andreya Triana is released on Ninja Tune on 8th March. For a free download of the Warrior One remix, visit bonobomusic.com.
Remix duties are taken care of by Floating Points and Warrior One. Floating Points got his break at London�s renowned CDR Sessions a couple of years back. Since then his re-edits have been picked up and championed by the likes of Gilles P and Joy Orbison. Here, he stretches the original out into a broken ballad, the vocals increasingly disembodied, the keyboards playing robot soul. Warrior One, meanwhile, give it some of their trademark ravement vibrations. Whilst Appleblim & Komonazmu do a dubbed out warm minimal version.
Grasscut return with the second single from their forthcoming debut album.
Continuing their theme of exploring the essence of our culture, on 'Muppet' Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair deal with losing your ability to communicate, something Phillips describes as “a very English kind of frustration.”
'Muppet' is released on Ninja Tune on 1st March 2010 but you can get the Nathan Fake Remix early for free now.
