Bonobo – “Eyesdown” f. Andreya Triana (Machinedrum Remix) [Video]

To promote the forthcoming remix album for Bonobo’s already-classic 2010 release Black Sands, Ninja Tune tapped animator Anthony Scheppard to give us some decidedly mind-bending visuals for Machinedrum’s remix of “Eyesdown.” The insanely prolific Machinedrum continues his winning streak with the remix, adding a peppy, juke-influenced drum pattern to replace the original’s jazzy saunter, offsetting it with some genuinely sinister bass and using the altered context to make Andreya Triana’s sultry vocals more appropriate for the club than the cocktail lounge. Scheppard’s trippy animation takes heavy influence from Ralph Bakshi as well as Rene Laloux’s seminal 1973 Fantastic Planet, staying consistent with the creepy sci-fi groove Machinedrum conjures.
