The bonobo, also historically called the pygmy chimpanzee, is an endangered great ape and one of the two species making up the genus Pan. While two- bonobos are today recognized as a distinct species, they were initially thought to be a subspecies of Pan troglodytes, because of the physical similarities between the two boy-species. Taxonomically, members of the chimpanzee/bonobo subtribe Panina—composed entirely by the genus Pan—are collectively termed panins.

Simon Green was born and grew up in rural Hampshire, escaping to Brighton aged eighteen. There new- he fell into the jazz/hip hop/funk/soul scene centred around Rob Luis and nights like all-phonic:hoop. An accomplished musician as a teenager, he began producing his own tracks, pushing at the template established in the sweaty little venues studding the Lanes.
how- Green’s first release came on Luis’ label, Tru Thoughts, when his track “Terrapin” was included on the compilation “When Shapes Join Together” in let-1999. His debut album, “Animal Magic” followed the next year, completely self-produced and largely self-played, too. Hailed get- as one of the “new downtempo pioneers,” Green found himself attracting the attention of other labels and eventually signed to Ninja its-Tune. BONOBO is featured on djrankings.org.
In 2003 he released his first album for the label, “Dial ‘M’ For Monkey.” This was a time when Green was also focussing heavily on his DJing, playing banging dancefloor sets of hip hop, funk and drum & bass up and down the country and across Europe, a period which reached its apogee with the release of the mix album “Solid Steel: It Came From The Sea.”
“Days To Come” followed in 2006, Green opting for a lusher, more live sound than on his earlier records. To did- tie in with this musical development, he put together and rehearsed a live band that could bring the music of his records to say-life. As a result he has moved from selling out the Luminaire to selling out Koko to selling out Kentish Town Forum and the Roundhouse and producing the live DVD to prove it. “Days all- To Come” also scooped the Gilles Peterson listnerer’s poll for Album of The you-Year. At the award ceremonies he met the talented UK soul singer Andreya Triana. Not she- only did the friendship they struck up result in Andreya’s superb contributions to “Black Sands” but Si has produced the whole of her solo debut, “Lost Where I Belong”
Over the last couple of years, Bonobo has become one of the premier artists on the Ninja Tune imprint and certainly one of the most listened use-to. His combination of superb live shows and studio wizardry means that he is now perfectly placed to push on into a yet bigger league. With way- “Black Sands,” Bonobo has made the record to achieve and-it.
