AMPE

About

AMPE, the Burkina Faso-born DJ and producer, is a sonic architect who blends the rhythms of West Africa with the pulse of global electronic music. Growing up in Ouagadougou, AMPE was immersed in a rich tapestry of traditional Burkinabé sounds, from balafon melodies to djembe beats, which later became the foundation of his genre-defying style. His journey into music began as a DJ, spinning tracks that fused Afrobeat, house, and techno, earning him a reputation as a trailblazer in Burkina Faso's burgeoning electronic scene. AMPE's breakout moment came with his 2018 EP *Afro Tech*, a project that seamlessly merged African percussion with futuristic synths, earning him international recognition. Tracks like "Yelema" became anthems, celebrated for their ability to transport listeners to a space where tradition meets innovation. His collaborations with artists like Burkinabé singer Floby and Nigerian producer DJ Neptune further cemented his role as a bridge between African and global sounds. Today, AMPE continues to push boundaries, experimenting with AI-driven soundscapes and immersive live performances. His music isn’t just heard—it’s felt, a testament to his ability to craft sound that resonates on a visceral level. As he prepares for his next project, AMPE remains a beacon of creativity, proving that the future of electronic music is as boundless as the continent that inspires him.
