Overview

As well as tipping his hat to one of the world’s great endangered apes, British DJ, musician and producer Bonobo (real name: Simon Green) effortlessly incorporates layers of samples with complex baselines.

Since the release of his completely self-produced and self-instrumented debut Animal Magic in 2000, Bonobo has released five full length albums and a handful of EP and singles - becoming somewhat of a downtempo pioneer in the process.

His latest release The North Borders saw him play over 175 shows across three continents and 30 countries, including appearances at Coachella and Glastonbury. March will see Bonobo travelling to Auckland, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth for solo DJ sets and with a boot load of visuals to enhance the experience.

He will be joined by Auckland record label owner and broadcaster Stinky Jim.
