KEVIN AND PERRY CELEBRATE 20 YEARS AT AMNESIA IBIZA THIS SUMMER

In 2000 a teen film was released which has since gone on to earn cult status amongst clubbers across the Globe largely for its soundtrack, humour, performances from Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke and its references to Ibiza’s rave culture.

It’s hard to believe that over two decades (and a pandemic!) have flown by so how better to celebrate Kevin & Perry’s 20th anniversary than to go back to where it all happened, Amnesia Ibiza.

Dancing and music are now back and 100% legal again in Ibiza so this certainly calls for a double-celebration. Join us on Monday June 6th and on Tuesday 27th September 2022 as we finally return to where the cult movie was filmed 20 years ago.

The pandemic sadly disrupted the initial celebration plans but Kevin & Perry are springing back bigger and better as they are set to host BOTH the Discotheque and Terrace arenas at Amnesia, Ibiza.

Performing in the famous Discotheque will be the DJ that originally played during the actual filming, Seb Fontaine, the curator of the iconic soundtrack, Judge Jules and “Follow Me” track producer and DJ, Lange.

The supercharged Amnesia terrace will be hosted by Ben Nicky’s Emotional Havoc and Paul Taylor’s Retro parties!

Expect a crowd packed full of Trance & classic lovers, old school Ibiza faces and a vibe pulled straight from the 90's/early 00's with lasers, strobes and smoke machines!

Judge Jules - “What’s astonished me about Kevin and Perry is that its appeal spans the generations. Each track from its soundtrack is familiar to everyone between the ages of 13 and 50. Having been involved in the movie’s soundtrack, and having been in Ibiza when it was filmed 20 years ago, I could never have imagined that K&P would have such enduring musical and cultural significance. There have been a number of films covering Ibiza club culture, but none has come close to Kevin and Perry, in terms of its everlasting popularity. Going back to where it all started for the 20th Anniversary in Amnesia will be a special occasion indeed.”

Seb Fontaine - “Every time I watch it gives me goose-bumps. Working with them on the club scenes was fantastic and it was actually me djing with Kevin and Perry on fake decks. One of those nights you just never forget and I can’t wait for the 20th Anniversary celebrations back at Amnesia Ibiza this summer.”

INNELLEA RETURNS TO AFTERLIFE WITH ‘DISTORTED YOUTH’

The Four-Part EP, Music Video, Clothing Line and Live Tour Concept

There seems to be no halting the insurmountable creative force that drives Innellea. From his early beginnings in the blossoming scene of underground melodic techno to the apex of avant-garde electronica where he now resides, the globally renowned German producer, live act and pioneering visionary continues to push the envelop in each and every aspect of his flourishing career, maintaining an acute level of integrity and innovation across everything he does.

Riding a remarkable wave of success off the back of a hugely productive year in 2021 – a year which saw the Munich-based talent surpass countless career milestones at a rate of knots – Innellea now looks to inaugurate the New Year in the same abounding fashion with which he concluded the last, as he unveils his latest multi-faceted creative concept, Distorted Youth.

Speaking about the project, Innellea commented:

"Distorted Youth is an all-encompassing audio-visual experience. An EP, a music video, a new clothing line for my brand ‘INN' and a truly innovative new global Live Tour concept. The full package also has a deeper meaning, which everyone will be able to discover and interpret for themselves. We are all the product of our own Distorted Youth."

Out now via Afterlife Records, the four-part Distorted Youth EP marks Innellea’s eagerly-anticipated return to the esteemed Italian imprint, following his flawless debut back in 2018 with Vigilians EP, and his sophomore offering The World Returns EP in 2019.

Adding another prestigious string to his ever-expanding musical bow, Innellea christens the eagerly anticipated player with the resounding opener Confronted Reality. A staple in his enthralling live sets and a firm crowd favourite at the likes of Printworks (London), Zamna (Tulum), Warung Beach Club (Itajaí) and Bar Americas (Guadalajara) over the past few months, Innellea combines mind-altering synth riffs with explosive beats and an abundance of atmospheric timbres, as he lays an inexorable foundation for the rest of the EP.

Next up is the defiant title track Distorted Youth. First dropped during the international broadcast of his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix on January 8, Innellea’s unrestrained creativity and innate disposition to break the mould sees the German produce an epic breakbeat anthem, replete with syncopated polyrhythms, euphoric interludes and a warm blanket of sub-bass that encapsulates the listener throughout. Characterised by its stark urban atmosphere, Distorted Youth will be further complemented by a dark and sinister official music video on February 9, created by Innellea and Munich-based filmmaker Marco Fumolo.

The penultimate track of the EP draws the audience into an altogether different realm, as the in-demand producer embarks upon a cosmic journey through consciousness to bring us Loss Of Hope. A dynamic and spirited delivery underpinned by cavernous basslines, ethereal samples and pulsating four-four beats, Innellea’s trademark amalgam of melodic introspection and post-apocalyptic club music shines front and centre, as he pulls out all the stops with another grandiose, euphoric weapon.

Drawing the EP to an immaculate conclusion with a captivating finale, Innellea demonstrates his vast productions credentials as he embarks upon the ominous, early-hours cut Irreversible. Unravelling a hostile web of menacing underground soundscapes, thrashing kicks and rough sonic patterns, Innellea penetrates the imagination with his mind-altering tones and exemplary use of juxtaposition and surprise, to conclude another remarkable EP on Afterlife and one of the most diverse releases on the label to date.

The release of Distorted Youth also marks the start of Innellea’s first ever Live Tour concept, which will see the multi-faceted German talent take on over a dozen huge headline shows across Europe and North America between February and May. Kicking off at Village Underground, London on February 5, Michi will take the fully immersive live concept to some of the most revered venues in electronic music, with stops in New York, Madrid, Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Beirut, Ukraine, Cairo, Malta and Lyon to name a few.

More dates will be added in the coming weeks. For full details, tickets and updates head to innellea.com/tour-dates/
