Out 9.11: Bonobo - Distance in Static

Out 9.11: Bonobo - Distance in Static

I want to reinforce this idea that you can be more than one thing," Green explains. It's that duality - of live artist and DJ, introspective composer and club-focussed selector - that sits at the heart of latest album 'Distance in Static', a record that is full of depth, detail and emotion; both beautiful and banging; quintessentially Bonobo, yet pushing beyond the contours of what a Bonobo album has traditionally been.

Buried within the 'Distance in Static' universe, there is also a sense that this record - and particularly the accompanying live tour - marks something quite monumental, too. It's a moment of transition, a celebration of Bonobo's 25 years, but also, perhaps his last record in the traditional sense: complete with expansive guest features and a multi-year full live-band world tour.

Out 9.11: Standing On The Corner - SOTC II

Out 9.11: Standing On The Corner - SOTC II

Founded in Brooklyn, NY, STANDING ON THE CORNER (est. 2015) is a music recording group whose output moves mercurially between composition, performance, film, installation, social work, and sound. Rooted in the cultural exchange between the U.S.A., Puerto Rico, and Africa, the project machinates an intersection between soul, punk, salsa, doowop, jazz, funk, the avant-garde, and rap traditions, filtered through a distinctly New York City sensibility. The ensemble's practice is characterized by a mischievous alliance with ephemerality, lived experience, and site-specific signification with works often distributed unexpectedly and within limited physical windows. This emphasis on transience and communal memory remains central to the project's ethos. Collaborators include: The Warlockettes, Ladybug Mecca, Styles P, Bubba Dupree, Claudette Ortiz, Sonia Sanchez, Solange, Danny Brown.
