Bonobo Vinyl Records
Simon Green's Bonobo project offers an eclectic, refreshingly organic form of electronic music fit for both dancing and chilling out. Debuting with the dusty, sample-driven downtempo album Animal Magic in 2000, Green's sound and scope have since expanded dramatically, with his sophisticated compositions and arrangements incorporating greater use of live instrumentation and encompassing influences ranging from jazz, folk, and soul to African, Asian, and Middle Eastern styles of music. While Green often tours solo as a DJ, he established a live touring ensemble in 2004, performing highly orchestrated versions of his songs to immense audiences.
