Ninja Tune

Here�s what you get when a Brazilian-born, globe-trotting, jazz- and hip hop-loving street musician turns to making records. Amon Tobin�s influences are dizzying: hot jazz, frenetic low-end stuttering, twisted samba strains, and all manner of underground dance rhythms. He appropriates the familiar sounds of upright bass, drum kit, and horns. He imagines the mutant bossa nova of �One Day in My Garden� and the lush and exotic drum-and-bass epic �Mission.� Bricolage represents new music that can�t be categorized or ignored, but if there�s a link between Gilberto Gil and Goldie, it�s right here.
