About I and I
I and I is one of the creative projects of multi-instrumentalist, artist, and gardener Adam Sarmiento. His latest release, "White Noise/Black Music," is a reflective dance record that blends post-everything with electronic earthiness and the kind of thoughtful, provocative lyrics that one doesn't always expect to accompany such movement-inducing grooves.
Following stints as drummer and writer with the New Tribe, the Pistol Arrows, and the Candles, Adam invested in some recording gear and set about experimenting with sounds and styles, eventually resurfacing with his debut record, "We Are," in hand. That album was suffused with energy and soul, and was something of a raw affair, but also elaborate and adorned with an assortment of synths, basses, guitars, vocal harmonies, and, or course, beats aplenty. Indeed, one of the many things that sets this guy apart from many other solo ventures is the complexity of the drum and percussion arrangements that undergird the songs. His second release, the 2006 EP "Music Computer Film," saw Adam following his exploratory muse on mostly instrumental material, crafting music that was both more sonically distinct and more refined, and, as the record's title suggests, more cinematic.
At present, I and I is taking the songs from the new record to the live setting. Check out the show listings for upcoming dates.

Hi! Here some info about our new release. Thanx for your support.
Productos BMM presents:
BMM 34 Mario Plaza Vocal Sense EP with the remixes of Luis Noic Genre: Techno.
Some comments: Carsten Rausch: I really like Mario Plaza - Vocal Sense. All Mixes are nice, but the Original Mix is my fav. Full support for that one! Dave James: Vocal sense is cool, hypnotic mix is my fave. Galuszka: The original starts chunky and gets funky, a nice groove. The remixes by Luis Noic take it minimal. The Hipnotic remix revisits some classic techno sounds, love it. The Reddman: The Vocal Sense Track was very smooth. It was one of those tracks that make you want to just stand in front of the speaker, close your eyes and let the music take you on a trip to somewhere deep within your own mind. M.O.D.E.: Luis Noic on vocal sense is great. Marc Fuccio (Fresh DJS): Favourite mix is Luis Noic Hypnotic remix. Deep sounds with brilliant production. This spare tune has enough hooks to take you on a journey. Gets my support. Clic here to Listen & Buy in Beatport.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
