BONOBO @ Mixmag Live 2017 (DJ set)

Since the turn of the millennium, Simon Green has been crafting a breathtaking discography, marking him out as one of electronic music’s most remarkable talents. Across six studio albums he’s shown a flair for producing sounds that are both steeped in emotional resonance and able to energise a dancefloor. Whether he’s alone at the controls or conducting orchestral arrangements, Green instils a depth of feeling into his tracks that always hits the spot.

‘The North Borders’, was a worldwide sensation, topping electronic charts across each side of the Atlantic, and sparking a tour which cut a path through four continents and 30 countries. An estimated two million people saw the 12-piece Bonobo band in action, with audiences left stunned in their globe-trotting wake.

Now Bonobo’s seventh album ‘Migration’ draws upon international influences, exploring themes of humanity and spatially defined identity within characteristically stirring tracks.
A residency at renowned New York club Output and numerous Outlier dates in many more of the world’s finest venues has also provided the opportunity to road test the tracks and ensure their dancefloor impact. Green’s DJ sets draw upon this wealth of back catalogue gold, as well as the variety of spellbinding records he’s collected over the years, to form moving musical trips.

True Story...one of my good friends many years ago in Brighton lived in shared house with a guy who hardly came out his room n all you'd here was music...then one day the elusive guy ran downstairs excited that his music had jus been signed to Ninja tunes .. Bonobos first album was born.... Great music from a serious talent...bigup

Bonobo's sound engineer is INSANE. For those who haven't seen him in person, it's so worth it.

[DNelson]

The best part of this video is when he drops Cirrus and smiles when the crowd cheers at 23:23. We see him own the greatness of what he's created and how it makes people feel. This cat is my hero

[toomzestr]

Listening to it in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and so on. Don't ask, just listen. It is almost perfect, you hear it yourself.

[kolorytoweoke]

I've never seen someone this focused on blending two tracks together. He is really giving his all for them and that's beautifull

[jacquelinecruzpereira]

Listened to this while I was travelling alone a few months ago. Just to say it in one word, it was happiness.

[josh_vibez]

How can anyone thumbs down this piece of art... I've DJ'd for 19 years now and think this is truly amazing... TIP: don't listen on crappy desktop speakers, def play this through some nice headphones or speakers.

Not just an awesome DJ, but a fantastic songwriter / producer... the bar is SO high these days, but It's ALL good. Great wor k!

[McFraneth]

If you feel emotional, whether it's art or music or literature or dance, the artist has hit the spot: the art helps us transcend our human condition. We're communing. Bonobo's music always feels like a religious communal experience. I'm sure the same neurones are firing as they fired 100, 000 years ago in the flickering light of caves like Lascaux.

I've been collecting music for 25 years from every genre and era, and I'm quite certain Bonobo is one of my Top 5 all time favorites both as a producer and a DJ. He can do no wrong in either regard IMHO. Absolutely prolific talent. Thankful I exist at the same time he does so I can catch him live in both forms. Nothing but love!

[dhrishnithakuria]

What a great set during lockdown! Anybody else here with me?

[lifemusic]

I've listened to this about 25 times in the past month. It soothes my soul.

[mayursrivastava]

[AlbertoAstorga]

[CalifInnovations]
