Bonobo

Bonobo (aka Simon Green) released Black Sands Remixed, a remix album of his 2010 LP, yesterday (2/13) in Europe via Ninja Tune, and will release it next Tuesday (2/21) in North America. The album features remixes by Machinedrum, FaltyDL, Mike Slott, Mark Pritchard, and others. Check out the video for Machinedrum's remix of "Eyesdown" below, along with the album art and tracklist.

Bonobo is about to kick off a run of DJ dates in the US (none in NYC), followed by live dates in Australia this March, before returning to the US at the end of that month to present "A Night of Black: 'Black Sands Remixed' Album Launch" at Le Poisson Rouge on March 29, where Bonobo will DJ along with appearances by album remixers Machinedrum, FaltyDL, and Mike Slott. Tickets are on sale now.

You can catch Mike Slott at LPR even sooner when he opens Four Tet's sold out LPR show on 3/10.

You can also catch FaltyDL, who has a DC show coming up with Four Tet, in NYC TONIGHT (2/15) at Cameo when he DJs along with Loefah, DJ Rashad, DJ Spinn, Dave Q, and J-Kush. The flier for this show is below.

FaltyDl's soundcloud page also lists that he opens for Matthew Dear at Bowery Ballroom (3/2) with Blondes (live) and Helado Negro, but that is NOT TRUE. Regardless, tickets for that show are still available.

Speaking of that Matthew Dear show though, there will be an official after party taking place at Glasslands (3/2) with Dabrye and Jonwayne. Tickets for that afterparty are on sale now.

All dates, video, and flier below...

Decibel Festival is returning to Seattle, WA for its eighth edition on September 28 through October 2. The festival takes place in several Seattle venues, now including The Paramont Theater, The Showbox Market, The Crcodile, and Red Wildlife Refuge, in addition to many others. Artists performing include Amon Tobin, Moby (DJ set), Bonobo (DJ set), Holy Fuck, Ladytron, Zomby, Matthewdavid, oOoOO, Araabmuzik and many others. Tickets for the festival are on sale now.

Amon Tobin will be presenting his ISAM audio/visual performance at the festival like he does on his tour that hits Brooklyn on October 25.

The last we heard from Zomby, he was playing a TBA NYC show on July 14 (tonight). He's not doing that anymore, but he is coming to NYC this month for a private event (we're working on announcing details of that soon). His myspace now lists the NYC show as October 1 which is supposedly happening too. Venue is still TBA. More dates below.

Bonobo will also DJ a Rocks Off Concert Cruise on September 16. Tickets are on sale now. More dates below.

Archers of Loaf (!). The full lineup of the fest that goes down in Gorge, Washington in May (Memorial Day Weekend), is below...
