Upon arriving at the polo grounds for Coachella 2012, it was readily apparent that this festival was nothing like those that I frequent back on the East coast. Gone were the bizarrely dressed, pre-teen ravers replaced instead with fashion-conscious, faux hippies.  Goldenvoice chose Indio, California for it's predictable weather and comfortable climate -  it might rain 5 times a year here. Yesterday just happened to be one of those days.  Thankfully, the storm that hit California's coast earlier in the day had lost much of its steam as it barreled towards the festival. Bringing with it a wave of cold [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , RPM WireImage It's that time again , and with Coachella's set times finally posted , we've broken down our top picks for dance/electronica acts to check out in Indio on Friday (April 13). Thankfully, there are very few inter-genre conflicts this time around. Kicking things off with a French touch, Breakbot plays Sahara (aka the Rave Tent) at 2:30PM, followed by fellow Ed [...]

It’s still stuck in my craw that I missed Amon Tobin ’s ISAM: Live show in Los Angeles. By all accounts it was pretty epic. Of course Tobin’s music is top shelf, but the visuals and technical achievements by V-Squared are insanely good and put the whole thing way over the top. Have you seen the video from his show in Canada for Mutek ? I’d call it bat shit crazy good. As much as missing the live show was a rub, I’m finding a little comfort knowing that guy is going to release his first [...]

I can count on one hand, the number of times that I listened to Isam this year but it still deserves a place on this year-end tally. The album is a solid listen, best with a nice pair of headphones to appreciate the intricacies of the production, but the best way to experience the album is in a far less intimate context: live. The limited tour cycle for Isam landed it showing at 20112s Moogfest and the fact that this was part of the lineup was my primary reason for attending the festival. [...]

The year's best albums feature sophomore sets from two of indie's finest artists, a hardcore punk opera masterpiece, career highlights from four amazing women in the top 10 alone, new forward-thinking R&B and hip-hop, an electronic Big Album that shoots for the moon, and so much more.

Amon Tobin brings his audacious sellout AV show back to the U.K...

Our buddy Nick Isasi (@noodlecast) is making the trek to this year's Moogfest and he's put together his list of must-see artists who are performing at the festival. The lineup is pretty amazing and we're excited to have him helping us cover the event... It’s finally October, which means that it's less than a month to go until Moogfest. Out of the four music festivals I have personally attended in the last four months, I believe Moogfest has the strongest lineup full of legends and rising names. [...]

I don't really keep up with the electronic scene like I should, so I welcome reader suggestions. One such tip came in last week about Amon Tobin, ...

It's not like Amon Tobin hasn't been ambitious in his approach prior to the release of this year's ISAM . But it was made pretty obvious by his label when the album leaked that this just might be his most conceptually elaborate effort to date. And a big portion of ISAM 's impact apparently relies on the way Tobin and his team translate the its music to a live setting. From what we can tell from the screenshots and video provided, they have definitely created what looks to be a mind-melting experience. And they're ready to [...]

Ninja Tunes artist and Scenestar favorite Amon Tobin has a special date in Los Angeles! Amon Tobin will be bringing his amazing ISAM set up to The Music Box on Monday, Oct. 16. The new tour is in support of...

As the electronic music scene keeps growing faster and faster every day, the technology seems to do the same to keep ravers coming back for more and more. After going to Ultra Music Festival for the past 4 years, I've seen better and better visual setups every year as VJs and electrical engineers continue to push the limits of these technologies. This is without a doubt one of the, if not the coolest setups I've seen to date. Enjoy.

A new trailer of Amon Tobin's live has been published, the occasion for us to remind you that he'll be playing this Saturday for a unique show in France at the Bataclan. He'll be presenting his new live show directed around his new album 'ISAM' out last month. We're giving away 3x2 tickets to attend this unique show in France, try your luck.
