In the confusing world of electronic music genres where new nomenclatures appear every other moment (gorestep, happy harcore, aggrotech and psybient, anybody?), Simon Green aka Bonobo’s music is a slap in the face of ‘Genre Nazism’. His all-encompassing style has been described by many as downtempo, chillwave, acid jazz, among many other things, but the British DJ-producer would rather stay away from labels. As readies to play his debut gig in India at Johnnie Walker The Journey on December 13 in the city, we speak to him about the gig, the challenges of being a world-famous artistes and his new projects.

Q. What took you so long to come to India?
A. I don’t know really. India was on the top of my list, somewhere I always wanted to go… It’s great to finally be performing here.
