In 2001, David Bonobo created the program ¡SouLbRosO! for KillRadio.org, an L.A. based Internet radio collective. In 2010, he launched the now defunct Radio Machete podcast network. It included his own program, El Ritmo Subversivo, which he brought to KPTZ 91.9 FM in Port Townsend, WA in 2016. In 2021, it was re-branded as Radio Kilombo with new co-host Thais Oliviera. DJ BoNobO has played for clubs and festival audiences across Mexico, Cuba, California, and Washington state. As a music journalist, he has interviewed Lila Downs, Rocky Dawuni, Sidestepper, Sandra Izadore, Jeremy Sole, Celso Piña, Antibalas, and more.
