»Bonobo has become the most listened to artist on Ninja Tune worldwide. Coming on like a cross between early Massive Attack and classic soul-jazz .. music which is both melancholy and effortlessly uplifting.« PR
 
Simon Green aka Bonobo has always been expert at welding together music dripping with atmosphere, combining his own musical and technical talents in such a way as to make utterly organic-sounding machine music and the kind of quantum leap in quality that very few artists make. He set about building his DJ style in the same way, aiming headlong for the dancefloor, with a heavy mixture of hip hop, weighty jazz, broken beats, Latin, funk, and soul, with the occasional cheeky bit of psyche rock and drum and bass thrown in. Bonobo’s interwoven components of keys, strings, saxophone and atmospherics see new life. As adept a studio technician as Green is, its evident that his music was meant to be played live. With his fantastic band (in which he plays bass and with whom he has headlined the Big Chill and the Glade at Glastonbury) set to transform these studio pieces into living, breathing music, the stage is set for Bonobo to step up.
