It’s been a long five years since UNKLE’s James Lavelle released his second album for Global Underground from Romania. It followed his series debut from Barcelona, which was hailed at the time as one of the finest and most timeless albums to come out of Global Underground in years.
James of course has been busy touring the world with his band UNKLE, to critical acclaim, but has returned to the DJ world with, in our opinion, his best mix album to date!
Bangkok was the chosen city, selected for its vibrant nightlife and multi-cultural party scene. The album is due for release at the end of July.
On Bangkok, James has put together an electronic sonic soundscape that is his most eclectic yet, featuring tracks from Radiohead to Radioslave, including gems from Carl Craig to Dubfire, via Doves, The Big Pink, PJ Harvey, School for Seven Bells and Animal Collective.
There are certain mix albums that remain on top of the pile, and this is definitely one. Ticking all boxes, its one to kick back and listen to at all times, not just a made-for-the-club album.
