simply a delight for collectors.

Back on exclusive eco vinyl, It's the album that redefined "downtempo", and brought us 'Eyesdown' and 'Kiara' foremostly, as Simon Green aka Bonobo stripped things down to a vinylized, live-instrumental feel for his fourth LP. The pivot from his earlier sample-heavy approach was already underway, but Black Sands pushed it further into nylon guitar, Rhodes and electric bass, though the productions are crystalline enough to still feel electronic at heart. Ninja Tune labelmate Andreya Triana features on three of these exquisite tracks, where the soul singer-songwriter noted that the collaboations emerged organically from within Bonobo's then-Brighton orbit. the pivot from his earlier sample-heavy approach toward a live instrumentation feel was already underway on previous records, but Black Sands pushed it further - nylon guitar, Fender Rhodes, electric bass threading through productions that still read as electronic at their core. Andreya Triana provides vocals on three tracks, including 'Eyesdown' and the quietly devastating 'The Keeper'. The closing title track, a multi-instrumental waltz that builds steadily to horns, remains the most complete thing on the album. The ReVINYL pressing comes on 100% recycled wax this edition, so each copy looks slightly different - eco-mix colouring varies by unit.

Concord Records (Jazz/Concord) presents this musical delight in the form of simple and direct songs.
Listen to Dana and Alden's new single, "Good Kid." It's sure to touch your heart.

Press release for the launch:

“Good Kid” is the second IG track from Dana and Alden’s new album, Papa’s Boat. “Good Kid” is an innocent love song about two people enjoying everyday life together and supporting each other through it all.

Dana and Alden (also dba as Gucci Pineapple on TikTok) and their eclectic, genre-blurring sound brings a fresh voice to both modern jazz and indie music. Blending virtuosic musicianship with adventurous production, their sound moves fluidly between jazz improvisation, hip-hop grooves, indie textures, and cinematic soundscapes. With their new record, Papa’s Boat they stretch their sonic palette even wider and bring in new collaborators like Mei Semones, Marcos Valle, and Melanie Charles.

Artist Quote:

“Well, “Good Kid's” cool because that was like the first or second song we made in August 2024 in Malcolm's basement. It felt like sparks were flying when we played it. I had this idea of asking someone to be your partner in life, someone to be with you for mundane adventures, like walking around in the rain, jumping in puddles, watching movies. It is a very innocent love song.

Then there was one night where I couldn't sleep in my girlfriend's house. I went to the bathroom to record the voice memo. I was whispering it because I didn't want to wake up her roommate.“ – Alden

Music recommendation

Today we welcome an artist who fits naturally into the sonic universe of TripHop.Radio.
German guitarist and live‑looping artist Jürgen Saalmann presents “Buch”, a hypnotic instrumental track built from the sound of a book. Yes — a real book, recorded live and transformed into a trip‑hop journey of cinematic atmospheres and organic groove.

The piece is part of his conceptual project “Alltagshelden”, where each song begins with the sound of an everyday object captured during live looping sessions and later developed into a full production.

“Buch” also features trumpet player Gary Alesbrook (Bristol, UK), known for his work with Kasabian, Noel Gallagher and Scissor Sisters, adding that unmistakable Bristol‑tinged melancholy.

If you love soundscapes that breathe — somewhere between Portishead, Massive Attack and contemporary experimentation — this new release will pull you right in.

DJ-Kicks: Kruder & Dorfmeister (30th Anniversary Edition)

One of the most prestigious record labels in the electronic music industry, !K7, presents this album in homage to Kruder & Dorfmeister's 30-year musical career. Simply put, songs to enjoy.

On sale May 22.

Smoke it! Feel It! Hear it!

For its 30th anniversary, Kruder & Dorfmeister’s DJ-Kicks is available for the first time in mixed form on 3LP, remastered by Bernie Grundman and packaged in a special box set including original imagery. Kruder & Dorfmeister's rendition of the series created an era defining moment, which tied together a glowing array of musical registers. The Viennese downtempo royalty blended a fusion of slowed down moments across many genres with rolling Drum and Bass from the likes of Aquasky, the melting acid lines of deep Hardfloor and the 90s boom bap sampling, smoked out atmospherics of Thievery Corporation amongst many more.

These masters of mood channeled the sound of a moment with their DJ-Kicks, which still retains a certified cinematic sheen, the patina of the real – curation and mixing at its most playful and refined. It remains to this day one of the most recognizable DJ-Kicks and mixes of all time. Containing two certified cuts from K&D themselves; the wooze is strong on “High Noon” with Dorfmeister's intoxicating jazz flute licks and a trembling harmonica atop a mirage of breaks. Their DJ-Kicks original and legendary tune “Black Baby” closes the mix providing a piece of grandeur, riding off into the distance deep to the vanishing point.

DJ-Kicks: Kruder & Dorfmeister took its place in the pantheon a long while back, effortless in its ability to traverse sounds, styles and tempos while retaining a selection which remains timelessly recognisable as: Kruder & Dorfmeister.
