Buy record: Tomes Tomes (aka Tobias Paramore) uses samplers and synthesisers to build rhythms from raw audio and analog tones. With a rough edge and gritty tone, each element rings clear in a dynamic and layered soundscape. Shuffling grooves and crackly cassette samples interlock with deep kicks and sizzling arpeggios. Drawing inspiration from hip hop, techno, dub, drum and bass and many more styles, Tomes has performed primarily electronic music extensively, both solo and as a part of a duo, all over the world in varied locations. @j-tomes Bipolar Bear Bipolar Bear's musical journey began in Romania, immersed in the underground hip-hop and bass scene.
