Amp Live is an American alternative hip hop producer and disc jockey.[1] He was one half of the duo Zion I, but left the group in 2015 amicably.[2] He has remixed works by Radiohead,[3] Tokyo Police Club[4] and Jamie Lidell.[5]

Life and career

[edit | edit source]

Born and raised in Texas,[6] Amp Live released Rainydayz Remixes, an 8-track remix project of Radiohead's In Rainbows, in 2008.[7] He received a cease and desist letter from Warner/Chappell, informing him that Rainydayz Remixes "created musical arrangements/remixes" without proper approval.[8] After building an internet movement, primarily through YouTube, Stereogum and Pitchfork Media, a settlement was reached and Amp Live was allowed to release the album for free.[9] It was chosen by Wired as their "Best Free Download of the Week".[10]

Amp Live released the solo album, Murder at the Discotech, in 2010.[11][12] He released Therapy at 3, a collaborative album with Eligh, in 2011.[13] In 2014, he released the album, Headphone Concerto, on Plug Research.[14] In 2017, he released an EP, Atmosphere, on Gravitas Recordings.
