iameb 57 is the pseudonym of Jimmy Batista, a 26 year old native New Yorker with a love of synthetic IDM. A sea of twisted chrome and glass, ricocheted with stuttered beats, while gleaming hints of addictive melodies float through and haunt your ear canal — this is the very essence of iameb 57. A humble ghost with the need to deconstruct conventional sounds, and reinterpret it by his standards. The standards of beauty met with chaos. An endless search for an evasive harmony of logic and emotion, aesthetics and functionality, where the two polar opposites conjoin.
He also produces IDM under the name “Enabl.ed”
