Amirali’s debut was so successful that the follow-up has been a long time coming, but it’s finally here and worth the wait…

In Time was the album that launched Amirali’s career. Described as ‘weird and groovy, effortlessly blurring the line of techno, disco, funk and electronica’, it won him fans in the highest circles of dance music and enabled him to tour nonstop across the globe… which explains why it’s taken nearly a decade to deliver the follow up.

A: “I was born and raised in Iran, and moved to Canada when I was 15, but I’m currently based in London. I’ve been into music my whole life; playing the piano since I was five with several piano tutors over the years and played classical pieces. I was always into making music even before getting my head into electronic music. In my early years I was exposed to the raw electronic sounds of Kraftwerk, Eno, Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre to name a few. I started listening to bands like Portishead, Massive Attack and Radiohead and I was extremely influenced by them. Then I moved to Toronto when I was in high school, and that’s when I began showing an interest in making electronic music.”
