Bonobo

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Bonobo is Simon Green, British producer, composer, musician and DJ. 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.

IAMX

Some musicians are meant to be heard but not seen - merely an auditory experience and nothing more. IAMX, on the other hand, isn’t merely a band... it's an event - a full-on aural and visual attack with the dynamic and inimitable English musician and songwriter Chris Corner (of Sneaker Pimps) leading the charge. With the European marketplace going bonkers for his blend of dramatic synth-rock, darkness-infused pop, and intricately-constructed indie dance, IAMX, currently based in Berlin, has been headlining festivals in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Poland, etc.
