Surging forward, AMÉMÉ makes a formidable debut on Chris Lake’s Black Book Records with the driving duet “Atalakou” and “Torero.” This release on Lake’s acclaimed imprint sees the afro-house innovator continue to apply his signature sound to major labels in electronic music, further cementing his reputation with high-profile accolades.
Minimal yet poignant, “Atalakou” is deeply rooted in a tribal, club-ready percussive core. In contrast, “Torero” boasts flourishing brass and organic elements, with thoughtfully written, soulful melodies woven into larger-than-life builds that pave the way for spiritually expansive, dance-driven breakdowns.
This release follows recent successful additions to AMÉMÉ’s burgeoning catalog, including “NEVER” via Gorgon City’s REALM Records, “Wild Animal” on Defected’s new afro-house imprint One People, and his Latin fusion track “Ando High” in collaboration with Mexico City’s Tom & Collins.
Revitalized this year, AMÉMÉ’s One Tribe signature event series has continued to touch down in new destinations around the globe. Officially relaunching in London at fabric and followed by a quarterly residency at Shelter in Amsterdam, One Tribe has recently hit Ibiza to start the season and Egypt at Cubix. The next event will be the second installment of One Tribe Amsterdam, returning to Shelter on June 22nd.
In addition to One Tribe events, AMÉMÉ has a packed summer festival circuit, including appearances at Awakenings, Tomorrowland Belgium, Sonus, and Audio Obscura Festival. He maintains an enduring presence in Ibiza, playing at key residencies like Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, Jamie Jones‘ Paradise, Bedouin’s Saga, Rumours, and more.
Founded in 2017 by Chris Lake, Black Book Records continues to deliver dynamic tracks destined to heat the dance floor. AMÉMÉ’s debut EP joins other notable releases this year from artists like Noizu, Bontan, Cloonee, The Chemical Brothers, and Chris Lake himself, solidifying the label as a flourishing force in forward-thinking house music.
Specializing in Afro-leaning electronic music, AMÉMÉ’s DJ sets are eclectic and diverse, paying musical tribute to his West African heritage. In the studio, he is equally dynamic, with releases on his One Tribe label reaching Black Coffee, and his music signed to top labels like Armada, Crosstown Rebels, Cercle, and Abracadabra. He has delivered his unique brand of “AMÉMÉ House” to marquee festivals such as Coachella, Tomorrowland, CRSSD, Awakenings, Lightning In A Bottle, Electric Forest, and iconic clubs in Ibiza and major cities worldwide. AMÉMÉ will continue hosting his percussion-fueled rituals on dance floors across the globe for years to come, uniting the global community and reminding us all that we are One Tribe.
