Amps is a Japanese DJ, producer. His music draws deeply from the golden age of hard bop, blues, soul, disco, and yacht rock, reimagined through the pulse and precision of modern house music.

Born and raised in Japan, Amps grew up immersed in his father’s jazz and yacht rock records, as well as the tribal cadences of local festival music. These early influences form the emotional backbone of his sound — one that is simultaneously classic and alive.

Since beginning his DJ career in 2008, Amps has developed a reputation for deeply human, groove-oriented sets that balance sophistication and heat. He made his production debut in 2014 on the Tokyo-based label TREKKIE TRAX, and since 2022, has focused on Tech House imbued with rich jazz harmony, tribal energy, and raw analog textures.

His work has earned support from key figures across the global scene including Skream, Blackchild (ITA), Flight Facilities, Classmatic, Hito, YOUniverse (ITA), Daniel Orpi, and SHOKE, among others. With releases on respected international imprints and growing attention from DJs and dancers alike, Amps is steadily carving out his place as one of the most distinctive voices in the new wave of soulful, rhythm-forward house music.

Magicore Blog:
"Super rad experimental electronica by Nam Shub. Pretty impossible to describe"


nAM-sHUB oF eNKI - Destroy Everything.
"Destroy everything is an adventurous album that goes a step further than you would expect of a breakcore recording. Truly crossing boundaries. Recommended to people who have had it with the conventional rules of dance music."
from gothtronic.com.

Films, electronics, beats, feedback, samples, vocals, remixes; this album goes everywhere. The Nam Shub Of Enki delivers a dizzying array of sounds, and it does it in a way that works. Nam Shub gives himself the freedom to let music take him where he wants without restrictions while he gives his listeners the opportunity to joyfully get lost in the chaos.

Kiki.ILL EP
"To call it original would be a gross understatement. I would strongly recommend this album to those who are registering early symptoms of boredtodeathofdance.com. Quite frankly it fucking rules."
John Askew - Kiss FM (UK).

"A killer onslaught that does not let off, pow pow pow, bang. Give me more kiki/ill!"
Tesselate Magazine review UK.

nAM-sHUB oF eNKI meets kiki.ILL - "In the Valley of Mood"(2005)
" Detailed and psychedelic productions that are jaw dropping, so do yourself a favour and check it out.
Natan - boston.tribe.net.

Jason Forrest:
"We're delighted to announce the release of yet another super-awesome rave-fueled orgy of bass, dancing, awesomeness, and music that will utterly delight your ears and other bodily bits. Yes, Namshub - AKA Phil from Monster Zoku Omsomb has allowed us to release some of his many incredible tunes for all to download and enjoy. Calling him a genius does him a disservice, as he masterfully warps all the concepts of contemporary dance music into a rich tapestry of all things rave. It's not just futuristic - it's also just DAMN GOOD!"
