German duo and Innvervisions co-founders, Âme, have just released their remix of Mind Against ‘Love Seeking’. Combining techno, breakbeat, and pop elements with a euphoric underbelly, you can hear the various influences creeping in. But what are those? We find out.
It’s nearly 20 years since “Rej,” from Âme a genre-defining composition. The 2005 record became one of techno’s most popular and enduring pieces of music and impossible to avoid on a night out. But it would be wrong to pigeonhole the group just on one song. There’s more strings to their bow.
Âme has evolved continuously since, challenging club-goers’ expectations with their conceptually driven and thoroughly visceral music. The members of Âme often perform separately, with Beyer on DJ duties and Wiedemann playing live sets.
Furthermore, Âme are also partners at Innervisions label/collective with Dixon, fostering the future of house and techno with carefully selected releases, all-encompassing live events, and their boutique shop. Âme remains at the forefront of electronic music, but what tracks power them?
