The long-player takes listeners on a sparkling sonic journey through Tokyo, Jakarta, Amsterdam and New York City. The album features ten guest vocalists from the UK, Singapore and Japan, including hotly tipped Lilly Ahlberg and RAENE.
‘Traveling Without Moving’ encapsulates the essence of exploration, experiences, and personal reflections on traveling. Through their imaginative lyrics, AmPm and their featured vocalists delve into the emotions, memories, and impressions associated with these vibrant metropolises. “Traveling is an integral part of our lives, and we have drawn inspiration from our own journeys,” explain the band. “This album serves as a window into our personal stories, inviting listeners to experience the diverse emotions associated with traveling. Each city represented in the album holds significance to us, whether it be Tokyo, Jakarta, Amsterdam, or New York City. We wanted to create a musical narrative that captures the essence of these cities and the unique feelings they evoke.”
AmPm made their blistering debut in 2017 with, ‘Best Part of Us feat. Michael Kaneko’ . The same year, they were the only Japanese artist to perform at Spotify On Stage in Indonesia. Following this, they dominated stages around the world, from Ultra Miami to shows in Korea and Japan, and a headline concert in New York. In addition to releasing their own original music, AmPm have remixed tracks for the great and good of electronic music including Afrojack, R3HAB and Nicky Romero.
‘Traveling Without Moving’ draws on inspiration from a broad spectrum of electronic genres, with house at its heart. The album brings together a collection of lighter-than-air pop songs which immerse listeners in a world of sonic bliss. Each track takes on a unique identity, blending infectious melodies, lush harmonies, and pulsating rhythms. “We have created a work that can give an individually unique experience to our listeners,” say the band. “We also wanted to fully express house music, which is at the core of our sound. It’s a very original sound; a sense of pop, but also with speed and exuberance, with house music at the heart of it. This album is a signature of what AmPm are, and we’re proud to say that we’ve made a house music album that represents the year 2023.”
