Expanding Abundance

Lovestorm

"Sometimes, darkness is not just an absence of light, but a turning point. A space where you stop, you face everything you have been and what you can no longer be. Every transformation entails changes, and to start a new path, it is necessary to leave something behind." - Trømmel / It can't always be night

Born in Bremen in 1980, Nayan Soukie's musical fascination began with Prince, Michael Jackson, Art of Noise and Franky goes to Hollywood. At 13, he swapped the classical guitar for computer music and never looked back. He tried his hand at Hip hop beats, later Easy listening, then Experimental sounds, and House music. Between community service and the start of the cooperation with Fritz Windish, which continues to this day, Nayan also went to search for meaning in other realms - but always ended up back in music. At the beginning of the 2000s, Techno, Minimal, and House music were also discovered in Bremen, and Nayan and Fritz took the bait. However, it would take until 2008 for the first vinyl release by the duo to appear on the Hamburg label Eminor. Fritz and Nayan moved to Hamburg, where they worked in a shared studio. Collaborations with Sebo and Madmotormiquel were followed by the founding of their label URSL and the move to Berlin in 2011. Here Soukie & Windish found a studio in Renate club together with Kotelett & Zadak and made a name for themselves as a duo. Since 2018, Nayan has been focusing more on his left-behind solo project Amount - and made a name for himself with his spirited live sets that alternate between Downtempo, Minimal, and Disco. An EP on Minimal Little Helpers was followed by his first Disco releases on Frank Music and Running Back. "The future will be disco for me, that's for sure," says Amount. And we can't wait to follow him into that future.
