San Francisco-based female producer/DJ AMPRS&ND is back with a new solo single ‘Sorry’ out now as part of the Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary.
A bold addition to Dirtybird’s anniversary catalog, ‘Sorry’ captures the tension between grit and groove that sets AMPRS&ND apart. Built around an entrancing vocal loop and driving bassline, ‘Sorry’ weaves together tight, punchy drums and moody synth work to deliver an after-hours feel that’s both cathartic and club-ready. Syncopated hi-hats flicker in and out against arpeggiated melodies, creating a hypnotic rhythm that draws the listener in with each bar.
“I tried to strike a balance between something beautiful and something hard and gritty. I love the contrast between the somber melody and dreamy chords against the heavy leads. In the breakdown, I envisioned being swallowed by a whale with the water plugging your ears, and you’re lost for a second and disoriented. Then you float back up to the surface and the whale spits you out into the drop.” – AMPRS&ND
Bay Area native AMPRS&ND has been making waves in the local scene for over a decade. Her tech-meets-bass house style has led to releases on DISPOSABLE, This Ain’t Bristol, House Of Hustle, and Farris Wheel. AMPRS&ND made her debut on Dirtybird last year with her hypnotic hit ‘Out Past 2’ with BLK&WHT and Dances. ‘Sorry’ marks AMPRS&ND’s first solo release on the label and arrives ahead of her performance at Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights.
