7.21.09 BONOBO (LIVE BAND)
w/ Big Gigantic & emancipator
Simon Green, England. An acclaimed maker of "intricate, subtle mood music", according to his label Ninja Tune Records, Green became interested in music as a teenager, copying the music from television adverts and programmes. While at art college in Brighton, Sussex, Green began to construct some of the music that would form Bonobo's initial output (he took his recording moniker from the name of an obscure chimpanzee). He became friends with Rob Luis, the man behind the UK breakbeat label Tru Thoughts. His initial release on the label appeared on their compilation, When Shapes Join Together, and was followed by the notably well-received "Terrapin". This sitar led track was something of a breakthrough for Green, and received a remix from acclaimed DJ/producer, Mr. Scruff. Bonobo's 2000 debut, Animal Magic, also appeared on Tru Thoughts and was a great critical success, with the UK's The Observer newspaper commenting, "anyone in search of the ultimate summer chill-out album should buy this debut".
Green is not comfortable with the term chill-out and his work is perhaps best described as a blend of low-key hip-hop beats, percussion, soundtrack elements, and beguiling melody. Animal Magic attracted the attention of numerous labels, including XL Recordings and Mute Records but eventually Green signed to Ninja Tune with the blessing of Tru Thoughts, who released One-Offs ... Remixes & B-Sides in 2002, collating exactly that. Green toured the USA in 2002 and performed as a DJ at various clubs and festivals. Dial "M" For Monkey appeared in June 2003 to rightly deserved praise. Lush, melodic and inventive, the album demonstrated Green's considerable talent, constructed and played as it was entirely by the DJ.

8.6.09 Amon Tobin
W/ PITCH BLACK & SUB SWARA
Somewhere back in the mid-90's a fresh faced Brazilian ex-pat living in the UK decided he was going to put down his harmonica, pick up a sampler, and name himself after a Stephen King novel. The resulting album, Cujo's 'Adventures In Foam' (released on Ninebar records, later reissued on Ninja Tune) signaled Amon Tobin's entry into the world of music. Well actually there's a pre-Cujo project also, but everybody knows not to talk about it... but if you get Amon really drunk... actually no, even then he won't play it for you.
Immediately upon hearing this record, the powers that be at Ninja Tune signed him up to record as Amon Tobin, and he quickly went to work on his debut 'Bricolage'... and things have been rolling along nicely ever since.
The thing about an Amon show is that you could always escape the immense volume by going to the back of the room... in surround there is no escape folks.
