Flow State - Bonobo
Today’s recommendation is sponsored by Beam. Beam offers a powder mix for a pre-sleep hot chocolate that (1) lulls you to sleep with melatonin and L-theanine and (2) neutralizes bedtime sugar cravings. It has no added sugar and just 5 calories. Check it out: Good morning. It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Bonobo, a British multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ. He just released a new LP, Fragments, but today we’re digging into the archive, focusing on his first two records which put him on the map. First up is 2003’s Dial ‘M’ for Monkey, which has some similarities to yesterday’s Monster Rally, with its eclectic samples and hip-hop rhythms. His debut, Animal Magic, came out in 2000 and plays the same chill-out style. Dial ‘M’ for Monkey - Bonobo (40m, no vocals) Animal Magic - Bonobo (40m, vocal samples on tracks 1 and 5) Have a great weekend. |
