Rob Da Bank, BBC Radio 1’s purveyor and selector of strange and wonderful music has finalized and confirmed the line for this year’s Bestival, and by far the line-up is without doubt…strong - to say the least.

Taken from Bestival’s website…

“Always celebrated for its outlandish programming and open-minded ethos, 2010’s edition of the Bestival story is about to unfold before your very eyes. Following up last year’s sun-drenched intergalactic triumph will be no mean feat but once again Rob da Bank and the Bestival crew have pulled out all the stops to ensure that Robin Hill’s 88 acres of leafy beauty will be transformed into an unbelievably wondrous musical paradise for our seventh heavenly outing that is set to close the festival season from September 9th to 12th. After last year’s site move about we’ve listened to lots of feedback and have decided to give the main stage a new home, plus we have a few other tricks and treats up our sleeves… all of which will be revealed!”

We cannot recommend this festival enough.

Bonobo is back with his 4th album ‘Black Sands’ to be released byNinja Tune Records on the 29th of March, 2010. Taken from this is the new single “Eyesdown”.



Bonobo (Simon Green) has produced a remarkable catalog of songs for roughly 10 years. Generally known for his beat driven music, Bonobo’s new single takes it further. It manages to mould and intertwine a steady linear beat with warm textural melodies, swings of small distanced trumpets and airy vocals by Andreya Triana in such a spacious and atmospheric way. It immediately captures the beauty found within the gorgeous photograph that is used conjunctionally for the single (see above).



It would be effortless and irrelevant to simplify the liberating sounds that Simon Green manages to command by compartmentalizing it as being a new take on “electronic-ambient-dub-style” sounds. The preview of “Eyesdown” is below.







“Eyesdown” is to be released on March 8th 2010, precedeing the release of “Black Sands” - Some Think Blue are happy to confirm remixes of the aformentioned single are to be conjunctionally released, by beat scientist Floating Points, Bristolian-native Appleblim and relatively new producing duo - Warrior One. Tour dates are listed on Bonobo’s official website.
