Another super talented family artist with us this month, welcome our Amaya Agency space cat @illich-mujica - its such a pleasure to have him. If you haven't seen Illich play, please join us as soon as Amaya reopens for his residency. The energy, passion and focus of Illich is truly mesmerizing.

His sets are always a journey gliding us through melodic sounds from house to techno. Always done with a sensitive mixing approach and a personal touch.

Amaya Radio - Episode 9 with KATE STEIN

"This was one of my most memorable sets of summer. After many challenges due a hurricane hitting New York with intense thunder and lightning, causing floods and everyone getting soaking wet, we were finally able to unite together inside the Amaya Warehouse for the after-party, and shared what turned out to be an unforgettable evening.  Hope you enjoy this special set as much as I did playing it."<3 Julya

Julya Karma - Live @ Amaya Experience NYC - August 2021

Our favorite French Duo is on the cover today for Amaya Radio. The relationship with Tim and Pierre go back a long time with Amaya. From their debut at the Mezcal Club, to their Mexican adventures together with the Mayan Warrior, their absolute killer track releases on labels such as Abracadabra, Sol Selectas.... clearly 2021 has been THE year for CHAMBORD.
We are so excited about what's to come for them in 2022 together with the Amaya family. 
Get to know them better during the interview post mix! @wearechambord

Amaya Radio - Episode 10 with CHAMBORD

Today we embark on a special journey with our dear friend Amer from Old City. Old City has been close to Amaya since the very beginning and we have enjoyed our relationship for a number of years. We are so happy to have you today sharing this beautiful and eclectic mix, perfectly balanced and mixed. It truly shows how deep and thoughtful Old City's musical storytellings evolve. 
As usual we get to know more about Old City in our interview at the end.
Please enjoy it as much as we did ourselves.

"While creating a set, I process a lot of what I go through and make sense of my journey by drawing meaning from the stories that reveal themselves. What is this song about? What does it make me feel? Is there a story that I can draw an emotional attachment from? A lot of realizations have come about this past year as I ask myself these questions. The deeper question being masked by that is really: how am i feeling today? Through that constant self assessment, I get to know myself a little better, peel the layers and understand what each phase means to me. I get to know myself best when I’m creating. Through music, through starting to explore photography and through writing, I’m expanding the channels in which I can absorb, process, learn and then share. Old City is my attempt at doing so. 

As many people already know, I started playing alone for over a year now without the partner that I started this all with - a gap that has forced me to ask myself endless questions and go through a lot of internal growth. I have a lot of emotions towards having to fill that gap and losing a partner in this journey, but every “positive” or “negative” experience exists to teach us something. We ask ourselves the hardest questions when it’s a “negative” experience, and sometimes can go a little less self aware when we’re on that “positive” momentum. I went in a different direction musically and used it as an opportunity to self discover, experiment and increase my range. I played disco, house, minimal, acid jazz, blues, afro funk, progressive house. All blended in a way that felt unique to my taste and felt right to the ambience of where I was playing. But I perhaps also escaped what reminded me of the original essence of why Old City came to be and I continued to distract myself away from the hardest question.

This set for Amaya’s radio show is my deepest and most personal, emotional reflection and I want it to tell you what I love, what I truly care about, and what I am starting to understand Old City to be, authentically me. Some elements, particularly the important message during the closing of this set was something very special I wanted to share during my sunset time slot on the Maxa Art Car at Burning Man this year, but that set was cancelled last minute and I was left heartbroken that I couldn’t share that message then and there. But naturally I immediately knew this radio show with Amaya was the right home for it. There is a 45 mins interview at the end that I shed a bit of light on this as well and a first open heart discussion about my story and beliefs. For those of you that take the time to read this and to listen to my set(s), thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to share this time with you" @oldcitysounds

Amaya Radio - Episode 11 with OLD CITY

Thrilled to have on this episode the infamous Berlin duo: Andy and Philipp aka Überhaupt & Außerdem. After meeting very late in the night in the caves of Kater in Berlin, sharing many jokes and beers together we wanted to have this upcoming talent that we think represents a lot of the future in downtempo electronic music that we love. This mix is a representation of the evolution of a darker, deeper, borderline electro-clash and trippy housy sound. We love it.
Followed by our classic interview to get to know more about the recent success of the boys. Listen until the end to know what is Andy's favorite cooking recipe :)

Our latest release by @karl-cetti with this vibrant inflator pushing deep into the chords we all like.
Orchestra inflator idea came when he saw a live orchestra playing in the streets of New York and the love of chords. He thought an indie dance version using violins in the background would give depth, intensity and romance to the track.

Karl Cetti - Orchestra Inflator

"The Abyss" EP by Y.LOH is out now, including two remixes by Nährwerk and Emrat. This project explores the infinite void we navigate as artists, capturing the essence of facing the unknowns in our reality. We hope you find as much depth and meaning in listening to this EP as we did in creating it. “If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”-Nietzsche
