From what I have heard of Amon Tobin‘s ethereal productions, it’s safe to say that it will be unlike anything you’ve ever listened to. He likes to create sounds of instruments that “are not from this world.” There isn’t much order with his songs but it’s what he does with them that makes it captivating. So many unfamiliar sounds. So much bass! The one thing I know for sure about the dude is that his live show is next level shit. One of the most large-scale, innovative productions we’ll probably ever bear witness. Actually, at the rate of things nowadays, that could be a claim. Just watch the video. You’ll be able to decide right here and now if it’s something you want to be a part of. I for one am NOT going to miss this. Stream his 7th studio album ISAM below.

Damn. So much good stuff today. This calls for a new series! First thing’s first: woke up to FYF Fest and Goldenvoice dropping this massive LA concert lineup surrounding Coachella. Holy shit! It’s pretty much a dream come true, especially for people who didn’t want to or couldn’t get Coachella tickets. Watch out for the pre-sales and whatnot because a lot of those are going to sell out as soon as they go on sale. Hit the jump for more:

Hey guys! Sorry for holding off on those of you who were expecting the list on Sunday. I hate excuses almost more than anything, so I’ll spare you haha. Our monthly event with our collective friends called Jelly Filled Fridays went down for the second time, and it’s cool to be moving forward with it! A lot of people coming out are hearing new music, having fun, being exposed to our friends’ art, and meeting new people. Not much else we could ask for, so we’ll keep to it! Without further ado, here’s #85. Enjoy:

Nothing to say that hasn’t already been said about these guys. I love them and their style so much. I’ve been waiting for this song, which was originally a remix, for way too long. The breakdown isn’t as good as the remixed version, but it’s nice to finally have a completed song. I included the remix and a video I got of when they played it at HHM 2010 below. Here’s what they said:

Dubs for clubs Part.2: ‘Deeper’. This track has been in every club set we’ve played since back in 2009, when it originally started life as a remix for drum and bass legend TC, for his track “Deep”. We never finished the mix and ended up turning it into and original production a while back, and now we’ve decided to give it away for free, freshly finished off and brought up to date. Massive big ups to TC and Jon & Al (D-Style Records).

Props to Nate at ChemicalJump.com for pointing this out! Don’t know how we missed it.

TC – Deep (Jack Beats Remix)

INTO THE AM is putting things together in a whole new way for us Southern Californians. Bring some household names up and down the coast, and it looks like just the beginning. They set up A-Trak in Santa Barbara a day before he goes to Sutra in OC and Voyeur in SD. If you’re anywhere in the area, a trip to Santa Barbara is in no way out of reach! I love it there…Almost too much. Still bitter I didn’t get into UCSB, but you gotta play the cards you were dealt. Anyhow, here’s how you can win:

RULES

1. Like INTO THE AM on FaceBook.
2. Like Control+Alt+Delight on FaceBook.
3. Share the post on our FaceBook. (That’s how we will keep track of entries)

If you’re not feelin’ luck, buy tickets here.

Should be a fun show! I’ve seen A-Trak countless times and plan to see him even more in the future. His sets are always so fun and different from each other. Here are the best videos I’ve gotten of him:

Noisia, stylized as NOISIΛ (‘VISION’ rotated 180°), released their debut album ‘Split the Atom’ in 2010, and it set the tone for a lot of the grimy bangers producers are still trying to emulate. Well today, they’re rereleasing it on mau5trap records as a special edition that includes their two new singles ‘Tommy’s Theme’ and ‘Could This Be’ with a series of insane remixes.

I suggest you scroll down to the Kill the Noise remix RIGHT NOW! That shit is absolute fire. Starts off super thuggish and drops into the sickest drum’n’bass beat. I’m pissed that I have to sit down at work and listen to it quietly. Shit goes so hard.

Happy days! Don’t want to run on too long here, just wanted to say how awesome the free Starfucker / Nosaj Thing show was at USC. So cool. It was set up at a park inside their campus, and just…ugh. Those lucky bastards! UCI needs some shit like that. I caught another drumstick! I think that puts me in the double digits of drum sticks I’ve gotten. I gave it away though. I already have a drumstick from their past SoCal shows haha. Oh yeah! My birthday is tomorrow. What to do….what to do. For now, I’ll leave you with this quote:
