A beautiful remix of a classic, Bonobo weaves his signature touch while letting Henri Texier's vocals do the talking. The result is a layered, jazzy, electronic, and airy beauty.

Really solid remix from Simon that makes you dance all over the place. Serves as a replacement for your coffee or tea in the morning. Good stuff.
With rumors of a new album in 2016 setting the internet alight, electronic powerhouse Bonobo drops a treat for fans in the shape of an exclusive, deluxe physical edition of a much-loved remix. Featured regularly in the fired-up DJ sets he’s been playing across the globe, Bonobo’s take on French jazz legend Henri Texier’s ‘Les La-Bas’ is jazz-tinged house at its most compulsive. The track will be made available for the first time for Record Store Day 2016, in a beautiful heavyweight 12” edition designed by Grammy-Nominated artist Leif Podhajsky, and featuring a pattern created by raised varnish studs. The b-side features Texier’s original track, first released by the double-bass virtuoso and Don Cherry collaborator in 1977.

So hard to choose just one favourite, and I hover between this, Baby, School, and Teenage Birdsong. All absolutely banging in all the right (or left) places. vastnessofbeing

Only recently discovered this and am asking myself why I had never heard of Yussef Dayes in particular... live this whole album. Such musicianship and a fresh/modern take on classic jazz forms. Massive respect to the musicians Pilot Fish
