Overview
Bonobo’s contribution to the ‘Fabric Presents’ series is an exquisite exploration of deep Electronic moods, showcasing his profound understanding of how to craft a narrative within a DJ set. From the very first moments, the mix draws you in with its subtle layering, balancing rhythm and melody in a way that feels both grounded and otherworldly, while remaining true to Bonobo’s signature style and Fabric’s distinct vibe. There’s a palpable sense of intention in every transition, as Bonobo masterfully shifts between genres and tempos without losing the cohesive thread of the overall mix. The track selection is particularly striking, leaning heavily into Deep House and Minimal Techno, with forays into more experimental sounds and globally inspired rhythms. Bonobo doesn’t shy away from incorporating space and silence, using these elements to heighten the emotional impact of the mix and to create a sense of journey through diverse emotional landscapes. Yet this feels like more than just a mix - it’s a statement about the art of DJing, a testament to Bonobo’s skill, and a clear reminder of why he remains one of the most respected and innovative Electronic music artists of our time.
Recommended for listeners looking for a deep Electronic journey.

The cover here features minimalist geometric shapes floating within an ambient, clouded sky. This completely aligns with the refined house and electronic music styling Bonobo has mixed. It’s an urban style that especially echoes the club atmosphere of ‘Fabric’, while still maintaining Bonobo's signature sophistication.
