Drum'n'bass pervert Amon Tobin fuses hip-hop and wind compositional ideas with the bustling rhythms of rap and jungle and the bent grass sonic mayhem of ambient and nickname. Unlike peal junglists such as Alex Reece and Wax Doctor, yet, world Health Organization eviscerate from a softer, "ice chest" brand of wind, Tobin aims to uphold the heat of bebop and relieve wind, pairing nimble, galloping basslines with complex trapset orchestration and shrill, screaming horns.
A aboriginal of Brazil, Tobin moved to the U.K. in the mid-'80s, when hip-hop was beginning to take hold and the rhythms of breakbeat electro-funk were replacement reggae and punk as the underground youth music of selection. Tobin didn't begin seriously fashioning medicine until college, but his passionateness for the sampling station, as well as the support and encouragement of no less of breakbeat scientists than those at Ninebar and Ninja Tune, directly convinced him to relinquish a university career to focus on music (he was a few days into a photography point when he lay the hale project on hold).
James Tobin began releasing material with a trio of EPs (a pair for Ninebar, as considerably as the Creatures EP for Ninja Tune), and a full-length LP as Cujo (Adventures in Foam on Ninebar). Bricolage, his first LP under his own distinguish, was released in mid-1997. Beginning with 1998's Switch, Tobin full-lengths followed every other year, including Supermodified in 2000 and Prohibited from Out Where in 2002. A live performance was recorded for the Solid Steel series and released in 2004, and Tobin reached his highest visibility when he recorded the soundtrack to a Tom Clancy video plot, Splinter Cell 3. The studio album Foley Room, from 2007, relied on field recordings from Tobin and others, and featured performances by Kronos Quartet. He has as well performed remix and production work, for fellow native Brazilians Bebel Gilberto and Airto Moreira as considerably as Ninja Tune compatriots Coldcut and the Irresistible Force.
