Its been 3 years since Bonobo released his Black Sands album and we haven’t heard much until now, the new album The North Borders will be available on April 2 via Ninja Tune and you can preorder it here.
Here is the lead single called Cirrus which is an instant hit to me and kept true to the sound that his fans love.
The news gets even better, Bonobo has also announced a large North American tour with an eastern run with Shigeto. If you haven’t seen Zach drum then take a few minutes and watch this video because Bonobo made the right choice taking Shigeto and for those of you who get tickets for the dates below, you’ll see why.

Dauwd is back with an EP out early April, dubbed out and easily one of my favorite sounds to start off the year, sample the rest of the EP here.
Its coming up to 8 years since I was lucky enough to release Benoit’s first EP Enge on Moodgadget, now he’s the labels alumni and a seasoned veteran of lo-fi, he has a great ear for detail, its like holding a finished piece of whittled wood when you hear his music.
Sun Ra receives the rework treatment from Machinedrum, taking it to outer space and back fusing funk and jungle, I could hear this working on Sesame Street in the early 80s.
I don’t usually post songs I don’t like but this new one from The Knife really bummed me out. Anyone agree?
Brighton’s Ital Tek comes out kicking on his new EP Hyper Real for Civil Music. The movement through his sound isn’t about making club bangers, the substance that molds it into making Alan’s music special is making space for the atmosphere and melody. Once you master the timing and care that takes then you’ll start producing something as beautiful as this. One last thing I have to say though I couldn’t wake up and have some cereal and turn on my computer and make music at this tempo, i’d probably leave my house spinning and walking on clouds right into the street.
Adam Fuchs and Flying Lotus team for a psychedelic video to promote Moog’s Sub Phatty. Moog claims that this is their “grittiest Moog synth ever”, they definitely found the right man for the job, this “Such a Square” track refreshes FlyLo sound.
More good news from Nosaj Thing’s album comes to the surface, this time it features Toro Y Moi as a guest vocalist. Somehow Nosaj can work in any style vocal and make it mesh soo well with his sound.
No info on Imaginary Records, it only has 15 fans on Soundcloud and even less information online. These melodies are just nostalgic, some premature percussion but everything sits well, perfect 4/4 for around the house.
Mark E went nuts on his Soundcloud an hour ago, uploading everything I know that he has out, helped me find this beauty.
And to end this week right, here’s the Jurassic Park Theme song at 1000% Slower aka a 1 hour version.
Youth Lagoon just announced dates with The National, i’ve been anticipating what his next sound would be like most people, maybe he’d be influenced by the Fat Possum catalog? nope, he comes back to us with sheer beauty.
I missed this gem last year from Bullion, wow… what a gorgeous new direction, he keeps showing us he’s song writing talent, its fusion of sound that could live in almost every decade since the 70’s.
Yalls just posted 6 remixes on his Soundcloud including this fluttery early Caribou like one for Blackbird Blackbird.
Beach Fossils are back and cut out the surf influence completely. The sound has upped the quality and have been striped down just catchy good music without any gimmick, looking forward to the album.
