A deep and mysterious journey through the depths of sonic sci-fi psychedelica…Many of you might still remember Amon from his days as a prodigious Jungle producer, but he has long since abandoned the limitations of the genre. With two more albums scheduled to drop this year, the first one to appear is Isam, an album that combines his love for gritty field recordings, art, sci-fi and electronic into a stunning piece of intelligent sound design.

Another truly massive statement from this Brazilian-born sound artist who now resides in Canada... I'm always blown away by the amount of sonic detail in his work, and this LP is no exception. It seems like there's an even greater focus on texture this time around, and the dark, cinematic vibes of past work are refined to perfection without sacrificing his unique rhythmic sensibilities or superior programming skills. Apparently, he'll be touring with a full audio-visual interface to create an immersive multimedia experience. Can't wait to see that! - Michael, Berkeley
