You Leaving Me Again


Bonobo & Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs “Heartbreak”

“Heartbreak” pulls its vocal hook from Class Action’s “Weekend,” a classic from the early ’80s NYC club scene that’s probably best known now as a remix by Larry Levan. Bonobo and TEED use an odd bit of the song – half of the first line of the first verse – so its relationship with that song is more abstract, like it’s a talisman or some ingredient for a spell to conjure up the spirit of this era long before most anyone that would be at a club today was born. The music itself is more rooted in ’90s house music, with its fast breakbeats and constant push towards ecstatic heights. It’s built to be a highly efficient jolt of energy and joy, and even if it’s being released a time when dancing in public is more or less forbidden around the world the emotional and physical effect of it is very welcome.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
