Selects: Bonobo

'The North Borders' was one of 2013's biggest and brightest albums and since its release, UK producer Bonobo has been riding a well-deserved wave of success. He's been touring non-stop with his visually-stunning live show alongside a sprinkling of DJ sets so to say that Simon Green's been busy is an understatement.

His latest project however is an international party series called Outlier and he'll be inviting some of his favourite DJs to spin at different venues around the world. He'll be heading to Berlin and Paris with the showcase but it's the London party that's got us really excited.

With an personally curated line-up that brings both heavy-hitters and fresh talent to the fold, dancers can look forward to performances from Maya Jane Coles, Trevino, George Fitzgerald, Special Request, Gilles Peterson and Lapalux at Tobacco Dock on March 12.

To celebrate what's sure to be a unique and eclectic day of music, Bonobo has put his curation hat back on and compiled the best tracks from the artists playing at Outlier. We've been listening to this in the office and it includes some absolute pearlers.

Cuts from Lone, Dauwd and Romare should get you suitably excited for the event so get those headphones on and lose yourself in Bonobo's vision.

Tickets to Outlier and Tobacco Dock on March 12 are available here, you can listen to all of the exclusive premieres and playlists on our Apple Music page here

Maya Jane Coles 'Something in the Air' (Bonobo remix)

Made back in 2014 on a break from The North Borders tour. Maya remixed 'First Fires' from my album The North Borders around the same time.

George FitzGerald 'Full Circle'

One of my favorite tunes of last year. Had this on repeat for months. Was very honored to be asked to remix this later in the year.

Lapalux 'Don’t Mean A Thing'

So many great moments to choose from with Lapalux. This is from his latest LP on Brainfeeder.

Lone 'Airglow Fires'

Huge tune from 2014 showing Lone moving towards a heavier dance floor sound.

Throwing Snow 'Glower'

Throwing on a roll at the minute. From last year. A darker heavier and beautiful moment in his impressive catalogue.

Glenn Astro 'Magic Johnson'

Freshly signed to Ninja Tune, Glenn Astro teams up with Max Graef for a bass heavy jazzy dance floor roller.

Romare 'Motherless Child'

A stand out from his Debut LP for Ninja Tune.

Special Request 'Amnesia'

All sorts of excellent rave throwback happening here from the incredibly consistent Modern Warfare EPs.

Kiasmos 'Drawn'

Was a toss up between this and ‘Looped'. Well crafted cinematic dance music from Olafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen on the equally excellent Erased Tapes label.

Beacon 'Fault Lines' (Dauwd remix)

Highlighting Dauwd’s slick and thoughtful production on this sweeping remix.
