Premieres [PLATFORMS]

Amphibian Artists Mixes

The Mission

Channeling peak-era dark garage ambience and contemporary trance stomper technology in the same breath, on their debut collaboration Silhouette (AKA Vision of 1994) and Kobayashi Maru join forces on Amphibian Records for The Mission, a 4-track EP that airlifts the snarl and frayed temper of early dubstep into the psychedelic frontiers of modern dance music.

On the A1, the title track’s driving 140BPM two-step thunder, scored with doomy metallic bellowing reminiscent of early Distance and a rolling bassline right out of Big Apple’s playbook; on the flip, Last Transmission’s frosty atmospherics and crisper-than-snow UKG-inflected percussion, a sharp retort on every third beat superimposed onto a trance-techno model.

Two lower-tempo cuts kiss each runout groove, with no lessening up in sound pressure. Winter Outpost is at the last of its tensile strength, neo-noir synths pulled skin tight over a frame of sharpened breakbeat, while End Credits shakes it all loose with a serpentine beat, a note of wistful melancholia belying the weight behind its punch.

Four cuts of divergent dance music, shaped by the waters that fed Amphibian Records’ tastes — dubstep, garage, techno, trance, trip-hop, etcetera — but charting new territory on the cusp of the known.

Kobayashi Maru is a Prague-based producer & DJ who moves sound with psy/tek flavour, techno and bass influence, organic textures and complex, pacey rhythms. A member of the Amphibian collective, Kobayashi Maru also creates music and performs live as the duo DDAT, with atch22. He is also associated with Prague’s Ankali nightclub, where he works and performs.

Silhouette, aka Vision of 1994, has made an indelible impact on the Czech nightlife scene over many years as a shapeshifting DJ and producer, through his sets and productions developing a sound rooted in the UK spirit with an Eastern European temperament.

Kobayashi Maru & Silhouette - The Mission EP - AMPH003

Stepping further into the murky depths, Amphibian Records returns with Swamp Motions II, a nine-track crawl (the type where your boots are already soaked with water and you hit sticky mud), through the hypnotic undercurrents of underground techno. Nine distinct voices, nine unique pulses—each artist delivering a slice of the Amphibian ethos: immersive, gritty, swampy, and driving.


Like shifting undercurrents in a darkened wetland full of auditory impulses, this Various Artists compilation weaves through a series of atmos, grooves, and rollers, each track a fragment of a larger, pulsating ecosystem. From the first submerged kicks to the final flickering echoes, this compilation embraces the (un)predictable motion of sound, in the by-all-so-faved mathematical sequence that can make you go forever on the dancefloor.



Featuring contributions from artists like Gannein, Enigma Trax, Tsukuyomi and other talented artists, the compilation showcases a spectrum from the variability of techno.


For those seeking the deeper currents, Swamp Motion II invites you to dive in—no surface, no shore, just the endless, shifting motion beneath.

Our community is based on values of solidarity and empathy and we cannot and won’t stay silent. Thus we are releasing under the ‘Transmission for Palestine’ project, native to our home club - Ankali. Our effort is to raise awareness of the struggle and suffering of the Palestinian people. We believe in anti-colonialism and freedom of the Global South from Western imperialism.

Firing upon the engine. It is the commission of a just crime in favor of human skills. It is a revolutionary declaration of the act of walking. The oil stains the killer's arms and puts the car in a state of complete halt, forcing the passengers to walk. The engine is a signal of escape, and restraining the runaway means temporarily binding it. The spark plugs perform a crucial function, generating a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture inside the combustion chamber. The heart of humanity is the spark plug inside the engine, it must be removed so it can stand still again. Carl Gari & Abdullah Miniawy step out of the way after spilling the engine oil.

 Qef ق​ِ​ف is the second track of the album "Shoot The Engine" releasing on the 9th of May on Amphibian Records.

Firing upon the engine. It is the commission of a just crime in favor of human skills. It is a revolutionary declaration of the act of walking. The oil stains the killer's arms and puts the car in a state of complete halt, forcing the passengers to walk. The engine is a signal of escape, and restraining the runaway means temporarily binding it. The spark plugs perform a crucial function, generating a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture inside the combustion chamber. The heart of humanity is the spark plug inside the engine, it must be removed so it can stand still again. Carl Gari & Abdullah Miniawy step out of the way after spilling the engine oil.

The Egyptian-German collective, composed of Abdullah Miniawy, Till Funke, Jonas Yamer, and Jonas Friedlich, has been engaged in intensive collaboration after their initial meeting in Cairo in 2015. Earning critical acclaim from esteemed media outlets such as Pitchfork, NPR, Resident Advisor, and The Wire Magazine for albums like “Darraje,” “The Act of Falling from the 8th Floor,” and “Between the Bullet and The Front Sight, Casting Lots,” among others, they have showcased their unique sound at prestigious festivals and venues including the Institute of Contemporary Art London, Berlin Atonal, Haus der Kunst, Positive Education, and Rewire Festival.

Kobayashi Maru & Silhouette - The Mission (AMPH003)

Blending the raw intensity of early dubstep with hypnotic trance-driven energy, Silhouette (AKA Vision of 1994) and Kobayashi Maru team up on Amphibian Records for The Mission EP. This four-tracker pushes dark garage atmospheres into uncharted psychedelic territory, reshaping the edges of contemporary dance music.

Jah-Tek presents The Mission on the A1, a heavyweight 140BPM two-step roller, driven by cavernous metallic growls and a bassline steeped in classic Big Apple energy.

Amphibian is putting Czech Republic on the map, where in just a couple years, they have included tracks by notable artists such as CRAVO, A.Morgan, and Pink Concrete.

Berlin-based Gannein and BFVR combine for a track on the 'Swamp Motions II' VA for Amphibian. With a shared back catalogue that has seen them release on Florian Meindl's FLASH, Electric Rescue's Skryptöm, Pushmann's N&N Records, Grab the Groove, and Synergie, the pair certainly know how to create quality music.

For this DT:Premiere we selected "Uncle Punch" with a hypnotic and sci-fi sound. Fluttering textures and a muted, stabbing synth melody meet a jackin' and raw groove for an analogue track that hits all the right corners of the mind.

PREMIERE: Mu'taism - Théos [AMPHVA007]

From the black murk of primordial swamps stepped the forebears of the first amphibians, creatures who would learn, under the steady rain of time’s hourglass, to evolve several times in the span of a single life, to breathe through their skin; permeable, changing. 

Prague’s Amphibian Records label and collective reveals Kobayashi Maru’s ‘Induction Texture’ EP. As with his recent collaboration with Silhouette, it’s a release of two halves: two original solo productions pin markers deep inside driving, psychoactive club territory; two reflections—from Abo Abo and A Strange Wedding—capture the light of the originals and cast it back, changed but familiar.
