The masked production duo AmPm, who began their career in March 2017 with the global hit “Best Part of Us feat. Michael Kaneko”, have released the third track in a series of dance tunes based on cities around the world. “Jakarta” was released today, September 10 across all digital music streaming platforms, alongside a music video shot on the streets of Indonesia’s vibrant capital city.

“Jakarta” is the third track in a series that began in March 2021 with the release of “Tokyo”, with each song crafting a musical journey to cities with which AmPm feel a strong personal connection. AmPm performed in Jakarta in 2017 as the only Japanese artist to appear at the Spotify On Stage festival, and the new track combines a smooth chill sound with a typically AmPm dance foundation, along with a Southeast Asian-influenced melody that is evocative of Indonesia’s capital.

The members of AmPm have also written a post on Medium about their experiences in Jakarta and the inspiration it gave them.

Throughout their career, AmPm have produced dance tracks featuring a variety of guest vocalists from around the world. In addition to these, AmPm intend to continue their series of releases inspired by their favorite cities, expressing the invaluable inspiration they have found on their global travels. Previous entries include “Tokyo” and “New York City” – the three tracks work great together as a set, so please check them out.

Message from AmPm

“As the place where we held our first live performance, Jakarta holds many special memories for us. The city is home to people from many different backgrounds, and it has a unique culture. As a very fast-growing city, it has a distinctive character, and it is one of our favorite cities. We aimed to express our image of Jakarta and the vibe we felt there as a dance track.

“We still vividly recall the excitement of our first live performance. Right now, it is difficult to share that kind of experience with a large group of people and with the volume turned up loud, but we long for the day when we can return to Jakarta and perform as the AmPm we are today.

“This track also includes some first-time attempts for us, such as incorporating the sound of traditional folk instruments, so we hope you will listen to it and experience the journey within your ears.”
