Audible Treats

Amp Live, best known for his work with Zion-I, boldly ventures back to the genre’s Afrofuturist roots on his new solo album, Murder at the Discotech. Murder at the Discotech revisits the interstellar aural landscapes of seminal inspirations yet updates the electrofunk template with contributions from some of the West Coast hip-hop underground’s freshest talent. Three years in the making, the Bay Area-based producer says the album is aimed at both Zion-I fans “and new ones, if they want to come along.”
