Amon Tobin Post New Track & Reveals ISAM 2.0 Tour (MP3)

While plenty of lesser artists are debating the whole “pressing play” phenomenon currently engulfing dance music, seasoned veterans stay above the fray by simply creating a live spectacle that is undeniably great. And few have done that better than Amon Tobin, the marginally popular IDM (remember that term?) artist who has reached a whole new pinnacle of his career via his stunning ISAM live show. Having taken the show around the world in 2011, Tobin has announced a revamp of the show that will kick off in September in Seattle with “new audio and visual elements.” While admittedly vague, we’re still very excited to see what Amon comes with this time around. He also released a live recording of the ISAM track “Bed Time Stories.” Download the tune and check out the full ISAM 2.0 tour schedule after the jump.

Mutek 2011 #Wins & #Fails

It’s interesting that Montreal’s Mutek festival first took place one week after the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000. And for a dozen years, these two sister events have dominated the North American electronic music calendar, with loyal techno tourists traveling from one to the next in an annual pilgrimage down the 401 (the Route 66 of Canada). We already called out our faves from Detroit last week—so consider this part two of an epic techno saga. Next stop? Across the ocean to Sonar. …MORE

Plastikman To Headline Mutek 2011

Richie Hawtin has spent much of the past year touring the globe as his newly revived Plastikman guise, hitting five of the seven continents with his legendary minimal techno. But with the exception of Coachella and Movement 2010, North American fans have had to patiently wait for their turn to experience the interactive visual and audio experiment that defines this ’90s achetype in the new Millenium. Now there’s another chance, as Montreal’s Mutek Festival has announced that Hawtin will headline the event as Plastikman, along with performers Modeselektor, Amon Tobin, Four Tet and James Holden. …MORE
