1.

Bonobo is Simon Green, British producer, composer, musician and DJ.

At 18, he moved to Brighton where he released his debut album Animal Magic at Tru Thoughts label in 2000. With this album, completely self-produced and mainly self-instrumented, he became one of the “new downtempo pioneers” and his chilled beat-driven music captivated press as well as many major labels.

In 2001, Bonobo decided to sign for Ninja Tune and in 2003, after one album of remixes on Tru Thoughts in 2002, he released Dial ‘M’ For Monkey.

In 2005, Bonobo contributed to the Solid Steel series, with his Bonobo Presents Solid Steel: “It Came From The Sea”. The release date was scheduled for 10 October, 2005 but was released a week early. The mix features several exclusive tracks as well as remixes and re-edits.

His latest album, entitled Days to Come was released on October 2nd 2006. The first single from the album, “Nightlite”, featuring vocals by Bajka, was released on August 14th.

In 2007, Bonobo’s track ‘Ketto’ was featured in a Citroen C4 Picasso advertisement.

Days To Come was voted Best Album of 2006 by Gilles Peterson’s listeners.
