Âme is the German duo Kristian Beyer & Frank Wiedemann. Inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder, WestEnd Rec, Transmat, Weather Report and Herbie Hancock they describe their sound as Detroit-influenced deep house music with soul. Âme have had massive international success with their track 'Rej', which was as one of the major club hits of summer '06. Âme regularly collaborate with fellow Innervisions artists Henrik Schwarz and Dixon.
This EP is featured in Update #059:
Instra:mental, Art Department, Panda Bear
The resurgence of classic electro was a surprising trend this month - check Instra:mental's stunning album below - but really fans of all styles and genres should have something to drool over, with Robag Wruhme, Kode9, Panda Bear, Art Department, Burial, more...
This distinct release on Innervisions sees Âme hook up with the global ambassadors of South African music, Amampondo. Across two versions of 'Ku Kanjani' Âme's hypnotic brand of techno meets Amampondo's characteristic Xhosa chants. Post-modern world music, impeccably executed.
