Soundcrash presents a DJ set from one of the greatest electronic artists of our generation.
Legendary Brazilian-born producer Amon Tobin is set to dazzle Electric Brixton in a rare appearance on Thursday 2nd June 2016. Tobin's impressive career spans seven critically- acclaimed albums on Ninja Tune that have since helped define the label as a force in musical innovation and diversity.The depth and scope of his work has had an incredibly far-reaching influence.
From the Kronos Quartet to Diplo he has garnered respect amongst artists both within and outside electronic music. Amon has established a reputation for musical ingenuity that is unconfined by genre and over a fifteen-year-long career remains among one of the most visionary electronic artists of a generation.
His most recent full length, 2011's ISAM, was an experiment in synthesizing field recordings and transforming them into new physically playable instruments to create unique sound palettes. From Amon's own voice gender-modified to the sound of a creaking chair mutated into a string ensemble, ISAM directs an academic approach in audio manipulation to a purely emotional musical context.
Tobin's DJ set will be an intriguing insight into this electronic trailblazer's musical psyche.
