Disco Donnie Presents Unveils New Logo
In the early ‘90s, the most famous of dance parties in New Orleans, organized by our illustrious promoter Disco Donnie, were identified by the familiar logo nod to well-known brand, Crisco. For nearly two decades, the emblem signified our events as the best of the Dance music scene. Now, as Disco Donnie Presents embarks on a new mission all over the globe, our ever-so-popular logo has received a makeover.
The new Donnie Disco Presents logo encapsulates the infamous droplet from its slick predecessor, as well as a subtle intimation to the shape of the globe. The outer lining around the globe is the unifier, reminiscent to our pursuit to unify the global Dance community. Keeping with our revolutionary approach to the industry, it almost feels right that the logo would get a bold refresh. Stay tuned with us for more news and updates.
Amon Tobin
Brazilian-born Amon Tobin first emerged between 1994-1995 with a string of 12″ singles on a small London-based record label called 9Bar Records. The album that followed, Adventures In Foam, paved the way for a whole generation of electronic productions and prompted his signing to the prodigious Ninja Tune in 1996. He has since gone on to record seven critically- acclaimed albums under his own name on Ninja that have since helped define the label as a force in musical innovation and diversity. In addition, Amon has produced a small number of radically diverse original scores ranging from George Palfi’s cult cinema oddity Taxidermia to Tom Clancy’s video game blockbuster Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
The depth and scope of Amon Tobin’s work have had a far-reaching influence, garnering respect amongst producers and artists both within and outside electronic music. Whether with the classical avant garde Kronos Quartet or D’n’B legends Noisia, or on his own in some invented form, Amon has established a reputation for musical ingenuity that is unconfined by genre. Over a fifteen-year-long career Amon Tobin remains among one of the most visionary electronic artists of a generation.
The 2007 album Foley Room explored the role of found sound in modern day music. Documented on film, the process of recording minute insects to lions, wolves, engines and foley performances culminated in a much- lauded performance at the birthplace of musique concrete, the GRM Theatre in Paris. More recently, the famed London Metropolitan Orchestra performed selected works from a cross-section of his musical repertoire at the Royal Albert Hall. The performance included a piece from his forthcoming studio album due for release in early 2011.
Amon Tobin will release 3 albums in 2011: a radical new studio album entitled ISAM, a new Two Fingers album, and an album of remixes of his Chaos Theory soundtrack work.
