Masked production duo AmPm have built a global audience since the March 2017 release of their debut track “Best Part Of Us feat. Michael Kaneko”. Back on March 25 they unveiled an amazing new video for their recently released song, “Tokyo”.

Until now, AmPm have worked with famous guest vocalists from all over the world. But for “Tokyo”, they have crafted an instrumental house track that leans on the dance music that makes up their roots, designed as a homage to their bustling home city. Combining elements of tech house and deep house with the duo’s unmistakably Eastern style, this track shows a new side to AmPm. The video for “Tokyo” is made up of vibrant footage from areas all around the city, matched deftly to the music. It’s a vision of Tokyo that is unique to AmPm, who call the city their home, and it offers a positive image of a place where past and future collide.

Message from AmPm

“This video is made up of footage that we have actually been collecting for quite some time. We didn’t have any particular plan for how it would be used when we shot it, so we’re happy that we could release it with our new track in this way. Looking at the footage now, it seems so long ago; it’s a strange feeling to see the streets so crowded, and so many people without masks. Tokyo is a city where a wide variety of people are thrown together in a wide variety of environments, and the word ‘Tokyo’ means something different to each of us. Does the Tokyo you see in the video make you wish you could revisit those times? Or does it make you hopeful for future change? We hope you can imagine your own version of Tokyo as you listen to this track.”

AmPm are also currently selling their previously unreleased song ‘Intro’ as a limited NFT, with an auction that runs until March 30. Only one copy of the track will be available, which will be sold to the highest bidder on the special auction site, and only the new owner will be able to listen to it. This marks the first time that a Japanese music artist has sold an NFT, so look out for ‘Tokyo’ in the real world and ‘Intro’ in the virtual one!
