We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for Amniote Editions as they celebrate 5 years since the inaugural capsule. The remainder of 2024 is set to be an extensive celebration honouring the label and its diverse network of collaborators and friends from around the globe. This exciting year will feature a curated compilation of back catalogue remixes from the extended Amniote clan, the debut album by Spekki Webu under his Amniote alias Heliobolus, and a massive intercontinental label tour, touching down at some of the world’s most iconic clubs and venues.
In addition, fans can look forward to limited capsule merchandise and a special collaborative jewellery collection crafted with Copenhagen’s bespoke silver brand, Magma. As Amniote Editions evolves, it is poised to embrace a new aesthetic that promises to be as unpredictable as the next five years of sonic exploration ahead.
The capsule artwork and exclusive merchandise have been brought to life by the Amniote in-house design team, led by Alexis Mark, along with striking 3D creations from talents Yilmaz Şen and Matti Vilho. Mastering duties will once again be in the capable hands of Joel Krozer from Six Bit Deep, ensuring the highest quality sound for all our releases.
As part of the anniversary, Amniote Editions presents a unique compilation celebrating the sonic history of the label. Artists who have contributed to past capsules have delved into their extensive back catalogue, reimagining tracks from across the years. This results in a rich, 12-track compilation that beautifully reinvents their journey—from the very first capsule to their recent collaborations, including the joint fundraiser compilations with Ute Records and the latest work with Berlin-based collective Mala Junta.
Among the standout remixes is the captivating interpretation of DINA’s “Willow” by Monophonik & Riva, who infuse their signature groovy take on proggy, Goa-inspired house and techno into the track. DINA herself takes us on an emotionally charged journey with her remix of “Introspective” by Heliobolus, combining melancholy with an uplifting spirit.
“Our take on Dina’s track brings together our distinct styles, blending hypnotic soundscapes with Indian samples layered over a driving, heady trance groove,” explain Riva & Monophonik. “The aim was to maintain the euphoric energy of the original while keeping the track driving enough for dance floors.”
