About Bonobo
Bonobo is the recording name of the British producer Simon Green, who started out in Brighton in the late 1990s. His debut album, Animal Magic, came out on Tru Thoughts in 2000, and he moved to Ninja Tune soon after, the label that has released his records since.
Early albums such as Dial 'M' for Monkey and Days to Come leaned on trip hop and jazz-tinged breakbeats. Black Sands (2010) widened his audience, and later records, including Migration and Fragments, moved closer to house and drew on guest vocalists. Migration earned Grammy nominations. Green has since been based in Los Angeles, where he also runs the Outlier club night.
