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.
Âme have always put quality before quantity and their only single release this year, 'Rrose Sélavy'', was yet another testament to the duo's greatness. 'Junggesellenmaschine's electro-acoustic percussions were held together by a strong melodic back-bone for one of this year's finest dance-floor anthems.

The EP Rrose Sélavy / Junggesellenmaschine
was reviewed:
New tracks by Âme! Both 'Rrose Sélavy' and 'Junggesellenmaschine' have a grungier feel to them than the duo's previous hits, almost as if they were assembled from live-played acoustic instrument samples. First class hypnotic deep house, with a nod to electro-acoustics. Excellent.
