amháin

Shaped by a founding set of musical beliefs and an unquestioning faith in the deep, melodic & progressive sound he creates, amháin is able to transport listeners on a voyage of discovery enveloped in atmosphere and energy. Adapting and evolving, unencumbered by convention or expectation, amháin is the epitome of innovation, flair and dedication in the continuously shifting world of modern electronic music. Hailing from Ireland’s east coast, the aspiring Dublin born artist has made a mark in his adopted Australian home, witnessed by a career path that continues to rise on a rapidly upwards trajectory. Falling in love with dance music in the 90s as an avid collector of early rave and Goa trance vinyl, amháin gradually developed an ear for the deeper, more considered sounds of progressive house courtesy of Sasha, Guy J and Hernan Cattaneo. As comfortable behind the decks as he is in the studio, amháin has achieved an impressive reputation as warm-up DJ for such celebrated artists as Lee Burridge, Hernan Cattaneo, Mathew Dekay and YokoO. Fully versed in the niche skillset required to fill a dancefloor with a buzzing anticipation prior to a headline slot, the highly respected amháin is himself no stranger to the big stage. Performances at some of the leading global festivals are testament to this success as Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle and Rainbow Serpent have all witnessed amháin’s immaculately crafted sets. Able to translate those skills to the more intimate club environment, Berlin’s Sisyphos and Los Angeles’ Pattern Bar are also prominent names on a polished resumé. A nascent production career is equally notable with a growing portfolio of high-class production material. Making his commercial debut in March 2020, with the Melodic Techno gem, “Antecedent” as part of Sound Avenue’s “Correlation” series, remixes for 3rd Avenue and Massive Harmony Records lit up the latter part of 2020. 2021 has begun in no less impressive fashion with a standout reworking of Mariner + Domingo’s “Lose Control” for Particles before June saw the beautiful “Crowe” find its way onto the ever-reliable The Purr. Recently welcomed to Meanwhile Recordings by Australian progressive house royalty, GMJ & Matter, amháin continues to find himself at the vanguard of the underground house scene. As resident label DJ, amháin continues to find his DJ skills in high demand through a mix series that continues to grow on Spotify and Apple Music. In parallel, a production career continues to gather momentum with a plethora of exciting releases across 2021 and beyond.
