Part of the footage from the recording process for Foley Room, (c) 2007 Ninja Tune.

"Everything's harder for a DJ...I mean, that's the life we choose. I'm in pain constantly."

[@speedR97]

Took me 2 years to realize he was joking

[@jdloom1468]

its turmoil :(

[@Yadadamizzle]

"I learned this from Paul Oakenfold" "From who?"

[@innapinch7112]

I came to the comments to quote the same thing lol

[@PonchoRebel]

It kills me that it just cuts there😂

[@MyQUILLEN]

This is like "Spinal Tap" of the 21st century

[@signifidelica2819]

yes xD

[@Jambax]

I literally love how he's taking the piss, and half the idiots commenting don't even realise, thoroughly proving his point. Fantastic.

[@xter34]

i like his sense of humor too. when he's djing he throws some crappy hiphop beat with a pretty sarcastic smile before twisting it into something crazy. he's the man, sure his music is brilliant but hes a good guy too. and humble as hell which is cool.

[@signifidelica2819]

"I can do this is any direction" LOL

[@nichobert]

I saw this guy spinning in the mountains in upstate NY and this storm blew in and the stage was starting to blow away..I think he scrapped his original set and just started playing harder and harder jungle. Ended up hiding inside his sound guy's tent while sniffing a lot of ketamine. Best dj set i'll ever see. I wont even try and top that anymore. Amonsoon Tobin for the win.

[@ruukaoz]

he is the man! Last night he was in hungary and made a brilliant show! I was only disappointed he wasn't doing these super dj-moves! He was great!

[@cmeehan]

love the Paul Oakenfold rip. Hahahaha.

[@Squizeto]

its turmoil

[@mal4m]

He's got a Nigel Tufnel kinda vibe, doesn't he?

[@nerp23]

Haha this is brilliant! So funny.

[@JRBlood]

He meant "Jokenfold" ;)

[@outofscenes]

yeah! from ho??? jajajaja, the best moment in the entirely DVD

[@ruukaoz]

He is so cool and humble.

[@efsq]

brilliant. fucking brilliant

[@lucifersam99]

Ahahah. I dig this video so much. As a DJ, i tend to embellish a little bit when i'm mixing for showmanship purposes. Also because to someone who doesn't know a lot about turntablism, eqing, scratching, cueing, and crossfading all just looks like voodoo. Lol.

[@bliarghdeux]

good to see he can admit the lack of engagement while watching a dj-as-performer better to worship the medium than the man methinks

[@hadror13]

😂 priceless

[@Chinieves]

I Love Him, is a Genius (L)

[@ajpthree]

@boingobangobingo I know I know I'm bad... don't get me wrong I totally love lots of electronic music (AT is a big fave), but I am a jazz/classical nazi at heart & a die-hard instrumentalist. I really love AT's candor in that statement, I think my original comment may have come off the wrong way - I def think that Tobin is not of that ilk!

[@catch3387]

haha, a 'rocumentary' if you will.. :D top musician.

[@abizyb]

;) love this

[@CooperMedearis]

"i learned this from paul oakenfold" "from who?" LOLOLOL

[@Jambax]

Yes, he's taking the piss.

[@MsPrince4life]

How can the interviewer not know who Oakenfold is???? Come on, he is the starry eyed surprise dude! : )

[@freb]

@ibanezcrl "inside, i'm a mess" mmh....

[@ajpthree]

"...when you're in front of a lot of people, you have to look like you're really doing a lot" - that quote is definitive evidence that a DJ's are most often not musicians.

[@mersheemer]

hahahahaha soooo good.

[@morahaditita]

Hot SEYY and so talented!

[@knackebrod9698]

I love this man! Marry me, please?

[@jollincones]

hahahaha... oh Amon..

[@ruukaoz]

i still think that he is the man...

[@yoniafek]

it's just you

[@haylin13]

funny :)

[@Imagist]

LOL. Own.

[@lordtufty]

Cigggaaaaaay!!!

[@zulu26]

is it just me or is this completely sarcastic?
