Together, Amp Live and Eric just dropped a new single that is perfect the epitome of a chill motivational message. The title speaks for itself. “Don’t Stop No Rest” is an inspiration and sets the tone for keeping your Zen while climbing your way to the top.
“Among the handful of hot tracks off this EP, his newest single, “IAMHI” is a sweaty, energetic beat that is anything but monotonous. It eases you in slowly with its steady, almost hypnotic pattern, making you feel like you know what you’re getting yourself into. Yet within the first 30 seconds of the track, your brain is taken from pleasant lo-fi waters to a sudden tidal wave of trap. Mellow, melting vocals sewn with headbanging (what I am now calling) “trap-hip-pop” beats makes “IAMHI” a complex track. Filled with a number of peaks and valleys, it is a tantalizing song that keeps the body guessing.”
Electronic producer Amp Live is excited to announce the release of his newest EP Divine Delay, a follow up to his 2017 EP Atmosphere. Amp Live has quietly been making a splash over the years and has produced beats for major artists such as MGMT and Linkin Park and collaborated with artists such as Lorin Ashton (Bassnectar). Amp Live first came into the limelight as part of revered hip-hop group Zion I, which he was part of for over a decade. Since breaking off from Zion I in 2015, Amp Live has steadily proven his abilities as a talented solo artist and producer. On Divine Delay, Amp Live combines a multitude of genres including electronica, hip-hop, urban pop, glitch hop, melodic bass, reggae, jazz, trap, R&B, and drum and bass. Vocals are also a focal point and memorable highly of this fresh and forward thinking six-track EP. Eric Rachmany, singer and guitarist for Grammy-nominated Rebelution lends his vocals on the reggae-inspired and uplifting “Don’t Stop No Rest.” Talented LA-based singer Tribes lends her vocal talents along with J-Wes the Amazing on “Anything,” and rapper The Grouch of Living Legends is featured on “Many Reasons.” 2018 should prove to be a big year for Amp Live as he gears up to release his new collaborative project with Del The Funky Homosapien (The Gorillaz & The Hieroglyphics) debuting this spring. Divine Delay is out now on Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music.
