Tobin is perhaps best known for his creative use of sampling. He uses everything from old recordings to motorcycles (Supermodified) and even the acoustics of buildings (Out From Out Where) and stretches and skews them often beyond recognition.

Watch a short example of "How he works"

Amon Tobin is a musician, DJ, and producer known for his massive sound walls of sampled jazz fused with drum and bass, intelligent dance music and samba. Resonances, delays, reverbs and a wide variety of sound effects also contribute to transform what was once familiar into something grotesque and unnatural.

Listen to "ThemeFromBattery" from the Album " THE FOLEY ROOM" 

Psychedelic ambiences are frequently blended with retro-jazz beats, creating a barrier of apparently incoherent sound layers. This uniqueness and complexity make the task of categorizing his music a difficult one. Each of his albums introduces new polyrhythms and soundscapes. In his live shows, Tobin uses vinyl emulation software, Final Scratch, in order to access all of his altered samples quickly and efficiently.
