Amami Chart: Alfrenk Maps His Sonic Universe Across 11 Essential Tracks
Alfrenk presents his Amami Chart, a personal selection that works simultaneously as an artistic statement and aesthetic manifesto. The producer — with firm roots in European-influenced tech house and deep house — builds a coherent journey spanning 127 to 131 BPM, maintaining constant dynamic tension without sacrificing emotional depth.
The chart opens with Amami (Original Mix), a co-production between Alfrenk and Withoutwork on UNDR THE RADR, a 130 BPM cut in E Minor that sets the tone: densely layered percussive grooves, organic basslines, and an atmosphere that balances dancefloor energy with introspection. Its natural companion appears at position five with Imaginau, also by Alfrenk and Withoutwork, this time in Bb Major at 131 BPM, injecting luminosity into the overall palette.
Alfrenk's creative weight is further reinforced by two of his own remixes: About Me (Alfrenk Remix) of ProOne79 on AREA MUSIC, where he transforms the source material into muscular tech house in C Minor, and Wot Time (Alfrenk Remix) of Withoutwork for Mooncircles Records, an exercise in restraint and groove in Bb Minor.
Labels and Artists That Enrich the Narrative
The selection broadens its scope to include close collaborators and kindred labels. Noteworthy is the contribution of ProOne79 and MAGNVM! with Back on REK'D, a hypnotic house track in Gb Minor at 127 BPM, and the warm deep house of Andyy with Let Me Go on Monkey Stereo Records. Pino Neri brings elegance with Refuse To Lose The Groove on 081 Records, while Tropicalia by Laura Wood and Kevin Bondani on Sweet Milk Records and Heat by Simes on Shake It Music Frequency close the chart with character and conviction.
