Bonobo is the recording name of British producer and DJ Simon Green, a Brighton-born, London-based artist who has been one of the most influential names in downtempo and electronica since releasing on Ninja Tune in the early 2000s. Known for lush, organic-electronic soundscapes and elaborate full-band live shows, he continues to headline major festivals and just announced a new album featuring Nilüfer Yanya and Arooj Aftab.

Popularity

Unrated

We haven't looked up Bonobo's popularity yet.

How this is measured

An absolute, national (US) measure — not a ranking against the other artists on this site. We take the strongest of three open signals: ListenBrainz listens, English Wikipedia pageviews, and the number of Wikipedia language editions that have an article. The strongest one wins, so a signal we couldn't read never drags the result down. Bucket 1 means measured and small. Unrated never means small — it means we don't have the numbers.

What listeners say

80/100

Across dozens of concert reviews, Bonobo's live band show is described as glorious, hypnotic and atmospheric, with some fans ranking it among the best shows they've ever seen. A vocal minority pushes back, calling the full-band arrangement flat or 'karaoke'-like on an off night, and a recurring gripe is that the setlist barely changes from date to date.

Loved

+ hypnotic, atmospheric full-band live show+ consistently high praise across many tour stops+ strong dancefloor/festival draw

Gripes

− some shows criticized as low-energy or 'karaoke'-like− setlist described as nearly identical night to night
