Embrace is pleased to announce that BONOBO with guests THE INVISIBLE will perform at the Opera House on Friday, April 2, 2010.
BONOBO is the stage name for Simon Green, British producer, composer, musician and DJ, responsible for the notable tracks Flutter and Pick Up. With the experimental warmth of ‘60s French films and the pizzicato flavor of breakbeats, Bonobo established a niche of post-party chill-out. Green debuted in 1999 from Brighton at 18 years old with a track on Tru Thoughts Recordings’ When Shapes Join Together compilation. Though tempted by offers from Mute and XL after the official issue of “The Scuba EP” and the “Terrapin” single, Green stuck with Tru Thoughts for the acclaimed debut LP Animal Magic. This completely self-produced and mainly self-instrumented album was highlighted by downtempo dub, funk, and an equally likable use of sitars. Animal Magic was an obvious success and plans were quickly made for careful European support appearances, as well as a follow-up album on Coldcut’s Ninja Tune label in 2001, called Dial “M” for Monkey. A tour to support the record followed and was documented on the 2005 EP Live Sessions. Also in 2005, Bonobo contributed to the Solid Steel series, with his Bonobo Presents Solid Steel: It Came From The Sea.
The album Days to Come, was released on October 2, 2006, the first single from the album was "Nightlite", featuring vocals by Bajka. Following the success of Days to Come his tracks have appeared in a number of media-related items. Days To Come was voted Best Album of 2006 by Gilles Peterson's listeners. Since 2006's Days To Come, he has become one of Ninja Tune's biggest artists, with over 15 million plays on Last.FM and a series of sell-out band tours. The song "The Keeper" was released in September 2009 as the lead single from his forthcoming fourth album Black Sands, due for release in March 2010
