Sunday afternoon Simon Green, British musician, producer and DJ known as Bonobo, was mixing during the 5th edition of Brunch Electronik in Barcelona. He simply blew my mind.
I didn’t know his music before, even though he has been around, growing in the music industry for over 2 decades, and is actually famous worldwide now.
Being one of the world’s hardest working artists in the electronic music scene has allowed him to become a superstar in his area and also allowed him to expand his technical skills, while remaining loyal to his personality and style.
I didn’t know what to expect but I discovered a magician last weekend: for two hours long Green engaged the crowd, going from one rhythm to the other, provoking motions and emotions in everyone out there. I could see people being carried away by his music under a warm sun and clear blue sky.
I opened Shazam and discovered the truly amazing Cirrus. A track from his album The North Borders (2013), which I simply fell in love with and have been listening to it ever since I left the event.
While you are at it do listen to the album:

May you listen to his music and enjoy it as much as I did … 😉
