Renowned UK electronic producer and DJ, Bonobo (Simon Green), recently sat down with Matt Wilkinson for an in-depth chat about his latest track, 'Expander'. This club-focused release is a departure from Bonobo's typical process, created rapidly with the intent to fill the gap between album releases and energize his summer DJ sets.
Bonobo shared his approach to producing 'Expander', which was conceived with live performances in mind. “I wanted something with big club energy to play out this summer,” he explained. The track debuted at Glastonbury, showcasing Bonobo's shift in mindset when crafting tunes for the dance floor.
During the conversation, Bonobo also reflected on the significance of The Warehouse Project, deeming it one of the best parties globally. “The curation is incredible every time, and it’s an event I look forward to,” he stated. The Warehouse Project's unique space often influences his music-making process, serving as a benchmark for his club tracks.
In addition to discussing Manchester's rich musical history and his enduring admiration for Radiohead (including his remix of "Everything in Its Right Place"), Bonobo offered a glimpse into his future plans. While he intends to take some time off touring, Bonobo will be creating new music across the US, UK, and Japan, seeking inspiration from diverse environments. “I want to spend a month in Japan, working on music in a rural setting—it's a different energy,” he revealed.
For fans eager to hear more, stay tuned for Bonobo's exciting projects as he continues to push boundaries in the music world.
