Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM275

One Tribe label-owner AMÉMÉ makes his debut production appearance on Crosstown Rebels next month with the three-track Drum Beat. The EP includes a remix by longstanding US house veteran Joeski, marking a major career achievement for the Benin born talent. 

AMÉMÉ spoke on how the release took shape, as well as what it represents in today’s world: “My latest EP Drum Beat is the perfect assemblage of past and present, as it blends elements of my musical roots with current day inspirations. Loca reaches into the Latin realm and on the other side is Drum Beat, which reflects the deep anchor of my upbringing in West African music. Together these tracks create an eclectic and energetic pairing that feel right at home on Crosstown Rebels.”

The Latin influence is experienced right from the word go on Loca, as Saharan-esque elements build alongside resonant hats and playful, Spanish-like vocals. Tribal percussion drifts in and out alongside, whilst whirring key solos feature subtly throughout. Drum Beat comes next, manifesting as a welcome slice of contemporary Afro house that’s packed full of raw instrumentals and authentic lyrical samples, before Joeski’s remix brings things to an up-tempo, club ready close.

Specialising in Afro-leaning electronic music, AMÉMÉ has marked himself as one of the continent’s breakthrough talents in recent years. Head of One Tribe, his productions have been supported by the pioneering figure of Black Coffee since 2019, whilst his appearances on Watergate Records, Blond:Ish’s Abracadabra imprint and the mighty MoBlack Records have been equally well-received, firmly establishing his presence as one of modern dance music’s rising stars.

Joeski’s trajectory can be traced back to 1991, when he burst onto the NYC house scene as a founding member of The Chocolate Factory DJ collective. Since then, the US veteran has garnered a worldwide following thanks to his Maya label, which was first incepted in 2001, as well his keen ear for production that has seen him release on Crosstown Rebels, Relief and a myriad of other heavyweight imprints in recent years.

AMÉMÉ, Joeski

This release marks the 50th release of my record label and recording studio brand, Glory Hill Studio.
I would like to personally thanks all the artists involved so far in this incredible musical journey! 
"A Large Crowd Of Spectators" is a very esoteric track of mine and I was craving to release it.
Its not a banger or a club filler, its one of those tracks that I made in one of the many days spend in the studio exploring and making music! 
Enjoy! 
Thodoris ;-)

Exclusive André Lodemann 'The Deeper You Go'

There’s always simple Q&A but why settle for that when it’s Andre Lodemann in the hot seat and we can go deeper. Shortly after the completion of his upcoming album, 'The Deeper You Go,‘ a deeply-rooted project that since 2012 transcended from mere music production to a sort of an intuitive and self-reflective journey. Torture the Artist sits with the label owner and established DJ Producer and gets right to the heavy stuff, and as the new father reveals more about his artistic approach, his commitment to detail, intuition and music as art, the more his character aligns in sync with the sound and atmosphere depicted through his productions. 'The Deeper You Go' is not only the album title but also the first track on it and sets the mood for the other eight musical pieces to come. Already supported by various key-players, for a good reason, 'The Deeper You Go' depicts André's general preference for deeper House sounds with an eye/ ear for details creating a warmth in melancholia that is unique.

Andé Lodemann's LP 'The Deeper You Go' will be released September 14th, 2018 on Best Works Records.
