- Simon Green's upcoming mix brings together a diverse cast of artists, from Andrew Ashong to Nina Simone to Benedict Cumberbatch.
Bonobo's Late Night Tales mix will be released on November 17th.
The Ninja Tune veteran says his mix ranges from "neo-classical to breaky things," with electronic producers like Floating Points, Airhead, Andrew Ashong and Lapalux featuring alongside Nina Simone, Matthew Bourne, Bill Evans and Dustin O’Halloran. There's also an exclusive spoken word piece called "Flat Of Angles Part 3" from well-known British actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
"The way I approached this mix was very different to how I would normally do a mix," says Bonobo, real name Simon Green. "I wasn’t thinking of it as a DJ mix so much as a selection. I've been familiar with the series for a long time, and I was conscious of that, but I really wanted to put together a curated selection. The criteria for choosing the songs was really music I’ve been playing at my house over the past 15-20 years."
Green follows the likes of Trentemøller, Bill Brewster and Air in mixing an edition of Late Night Tales, a series with a general focus on downtempo music. Get some insight into the sound of the mix by checking the six-minute sampler below:
