Listen To DJ Amrit's New EP, LIES

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

After hitting us with a few singles over the last few weeks, NY’s DJ Amrit drops her new EP, LIES. The 5-track release has no features and was entirely produced by Sene. The EP’s title track would be the standout for me, and “Mouth” is probably one of the rawer songs I’ve heard in a minute (and also dope). Amrit shows she possesses skill well beyond just her work behind the turntables with her debut EP. She speaks to Fader on creating the project with Sene:

We would drink, smoke on my balcony, and make song after song… we used this shitty broken apogee that was held together by duct tape, and would have to pause recording takes because sometimes the street noise would be so crazy. After a couple of months it got to the point where we had a whole project, so then were like we fuck it, let's do this.
