Bonobo has just released a remix of “Reason”, the debut release from London-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kanako Yamamoto, known for her traditional Chinese instrument the Guzheng. The track is out today via Green’s own OUTLIER label, following on from his own recent single “Expander”, and ahead of his upcoming OUTLIER DJ shows at NYC’s Elsewhere on NYE, and next year’s just-announced takeover of Brighton Beach.

Since the release of his 2022 album ‘Fragments,’ Bonobo, AKA Simon Green, also surprise released three dancefloor singles on his OUTLIER imprint with Ninja Tune in “Defender,” “ATK,” and “Fold,” which was alongside Jacques Greene and also curated multiple global OUTLIER DJ events. The collective spirit that Bonobo has created with OUTLIER shows his continued influence as a DJ and also the reverence a new generation of artists hold for his own releases. DJ line ups over the last year have included Barry Can’t Swim, DJ Koze, Sofia Kourtesis, salute, Kelly Lee Owens, Mall Grab, DJ Tennis, Dixon, TSHA, SG Lewis, Young Marco, Kerri Chandler, Carlita, Elkka, HAAi, John Talabot, Paula Tape amongst others. The 15,000 capacity event at Drumsheds in London was the fastest selling event of the season.. Bonobo also went b2b with Disclosure at their inaugural Friends & Family pop-up in LA.

The Fragments album live band tour was seen by audiences over four continents between headline shows and festival appearances such as Glastonbury, Sonar and Fuji Rock. Bonobo also co-headlined Field Day alongside Aphex Twin in London in 2023 as well as topping two separate Printworks sets. To celebrate the one year anniversary of Bonobo’s 5-night residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall, an official film of the performance, which has over 1.4 million views so far, was released. The residency at the Royal Albert Hall became the longest continuous run of performances for a solo musician, and the longest run ever for an electronic artist.

Simon Green aka Bonobo has collaborated with Erykah Badu and Jon Hopkins, as well as remixing Gorillaz and Michael Kiwanuka. In early 2024 Bonobo also spent a week in Mexico making music with Damon Albarn and his Africa Express project which also included Ezra Collective and worked on the score for Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe’s forthcoming animated series, Lazarus.
