25 years ago I bought Bonobo's Animal Magic on vinyl. I loved it.
It was 2000, and the 1990s had just given us the Bristol Trip Hop scene (Portishead, Massive Attack, Earthling), the amazing Mo Wax label (DJ Shadow, Major Force West, UNKLE, James Lavelle, DJ Krush, La Funk Mob), and all the joy of Ninja Tune (Coldcut, DJ Food, Bonobo, Funki Porcini, Amon Tobin, London Funk Allstars, Up, Bustle & Out).
25 years is a silver anniversary. Aaand Silver is one of the tastiest tracks on Animal Magic.
So in the next few weeks, expect to see a Silver Bonobo mix!
As a teaser the tracklist will look something like this...
- Silver
- Change Down
- Aerials
- Recurring
- Antenna
- Kota
- We Could Forever
- The Shark
- Shadows
- Rosewood
- Pick Up
