Amon Tobin


Debut: 1996
Country: Brazil
Label: Ninja Tune
Status: Active
Official Website: http://www.amontobin.com/

Amon Tobin is a Montreal-based Brazilian sample wizard.
He is known for his massive sound walls of sampled jazz fused with drum & bass and samba.
He uses everything from old recordings to motorcycles, acoustics of buildings, stretches and skews them often beyond recognition. Psychedelic ambiences blended with retro-jazz beats, creating a barrier of apparently incoherent sound layers...

Here's Tobin's "El Wraith" Video off his 2002 album "Out From Out Where"
