Hailing from the southwest region of the United States, AMANI has been a unique fixture in the underground electronic music scene, seasoned by over two decades of studio production and performance. From his early days at remote desert gatherings, to his constant touring of clubs and music festivals with world renowned downtempo sensation Desert Dwellers, his career has traversed many musical styles and genres. Blending world music with cutting-edge sound design, Amani Friend has amassed an enormous catalog between his projects Desert Dwellers, Liquid Bloom, and Variant Field. Traveling the international festival circuit and staying on the road with a jam-packed schedule, AMANI continues to bring his alchemy of ancient-future psychedelia to dance floors around the globe. Equally adept at sonically fueling the spirit of large yoga classes or high-energy dance floors, Amani’s sonic offerings provide a journey into the imaginative realms of movement and sound.

Beat epoque

I listen music and search for resonance in sounds, emotions, colors and all senses. Good music that resonates with you at the given moment can be a great emotional and experience amplificator that really gets you high! Sound and music are basic communication forms of almost all creatures on this planet and rhythmic sounds were played around tribal fires long, long before writing and sophisticated speech! Everything vibrates on every level and every scale, everything resonates and we all resonate together..
