Already this summer, we've had the pleasure of catching rising star AMÉMÉ ignite Ibiza's dancefloors. The One Tribe label head is a DJ on the ascent, possessing a philosophy of optimism that's based in unity and positivity.
Ahead of his forthcoming appearance at Amnesia for Paradise, we invited AMÉMÉ to give us a taste of the closing party. On handing him the keys to our Deep House playlist, the West African native has channelled his ancestry and cultural roots into the takeover.
Born and raised in Benin, but now based Stateside, AMÉMÉ specialises in Afro-leaning electronic music. Just by listening to his picks below, you will detect the flourishes of tribal percussion and spiritual vocals found in his club sets.
AMÉMÉ's Deep House playlist takeover
AMÉMÉ | Balafonerra | Armada Records
"This is one of my favourite records that I released this year on Armada Records. I usually play it towards the end of my set to end on a high note."
Tom de Neef & Lazarusman | Agenda (Bontan Remix) | 33 Music
"I love this track. It's my signature go-to record to get the crowd going and enhance the overall vibe."
Diplo & Melé feat Busta Rhymes | Right 2 Left (AMÉMÉ Remix) | Higher Ground
"I recently released this record on Diplo's Deluxe Album through Higher Ground."
"It was amazing having the chance to collaborate with Diplo and Melé, as they're close friends, not to mention the original track is one of my favourites. My remix brings a different angle to the record and a lot of energy to the crowd."
Ninetoes | Finder | Kling Klong
"This track is an all-time classic. You can never go wrong with it."
AMÉMÉ | Beat It (Joeski Remix) | Crosstown Rebels
"This track has such a high vibration. Joeski did a fantastic job with this remix."
Jamie Jones & AMÉMÉ | Pliva | Cercle Records
"Collaborating with the iconic Jamie Jones and releasing on a label like Cercle is a massive highlight for me this summer and in my career. This record is the perfect blend of Afro and Tech House, and I'm honoured to say that it reached number one on Beatport's Afro House chart."
