Amirali - Live at Watergate, Berlin 01.03.2014

Artist: Amirali
Title: PINK
Record Label: Dark Matters
Cat.Number: DM014
Release Date: 31st May 2023

Tracklist:
1) PINK
2) A Shooting Star

Iranian artist Amirali is back with the new PINK EP on his Dark Matters imprint this May. It follows up his second studio album, 'Trial & Error' in 2020 which received critical acclaim and finds him delve back into dance music in his own unique and special way.

Amirali's critically acclaimed album was an avant-garde / experimental project which rejuvenated his creative side and now he is back to explore the dance floor once more. He says of this EP, "I was heavily inspired by the sound of the late 80s and early 90s while working on 'PINK’, particularly the Berlin Love Parade era; music and culture that originated in Detroit and NYC and spread throughout Europe served as inspirations for this release. There was something magical about that time period that still gives me a thrill just talking about it."

'PINK' is an electric track with slick drums and busy arps bringing light and soul. It's a constant upward trajectory that sweeps you off your feet as more melodies arrive and get hands in the air. 'A Shooting Star' then has heavier drums with deep, warm bass. It's got cosmic energy from the smart synth lines and textured percussion adds edge and bite next to epic vocals.

These are two superb tunes from Amirali.

I wrote this piece in quarantine, it expresses the pain and uncertainty we are all sharing but, there's a sense of hope and optimism, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

2020 has been a strange year from the beginning but surprisingly, it's been the most inspiring time for me musically, I'm happy to say that my new studio album will be out in a few months! It took a long time, a lot of ups and downs, there's a lot I've heard and done and finding something that's worth finishing is quite rare. More to be revealed soon!

Seeking to reimagine music from his eclectic repertoire in a neo-classical context, Iranian producer Amirali made a triumphant return with the release of his ‘Sokoot’ EP, alongside the soloists of Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich last month. Now, nearly a decade after the release of critically acclaimed debut full-length ‘In Time’, he is finally ready to unleash its stunning follow up. Set for release on 24th November via his own imprint Dark Matters, ‘Trial & Error’ is a labour of love perfected at Abbey Road, his unique explorations of electronic music resulting in something extremely powerful, cinematic and emotionally fulfilling.

“Making this album was a period of self-discovery in which I got to know myself on a deeper level. My goal was to simply learn and try something new. I always feel the urge to evolve and to explore different avenues in music and I think I have succeeded on this album.” Amirali

Amirali emerged from the Crosstown Rebels camp in 2012, demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship on his dynamic pop-infused bomb of a debut ‘In Time’. Captivating the dancefloor with a seductive concoction of weird and groovy, it presented the multi-faceted producer as the new voice in dance music, effortlessly blurring the line of techno, disco, funk and electronica. ‘In Time’ won praise from the likes of Mixmag, Resident Advisor, NPR, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music, cementing his place in dance music’s new elite.

The global response to the album allowed Amirali to tour extensively, undertaking a heavy schedule from Fabric and The Warehouse Project in the UK, to Vienna Opera House, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and Warung & D-Edge in Brazil to name but a few. Since then, fired by the need to innovate artistically, Amirali decided to take a break from touring and submerge himself within the process again.

“I tried to be honest with myself throughout this whole process, this is why I called the album ‘Trial & Error’. I didn’t have a dynamic setup in the studio and I was constantly changing things around, experimenting and using different techniques to compose these pieces.”

After being teased with the beautifully jagged and unnerving sounds of ‘Sokoot’, Amirali returns with an impressive solo album to once again stake his claim as one of the brightest jewels in electronic music, as Mixmag once called him.
