"Krisitan (Âme) is like our international ambassador. He came out in 2007 and he just got us immediately. And other than being our friend he's also an amazing DJ and Producer. So we brought him back for the 2008 Festival. And i'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of him in the future."
-Jamie Joseph, Global Breakthrough Founder & Guardian

"The first time I played for Global Breakthrough was the 2007 festival at The Aquarium with all the fish, sharks and turtles. It was a really nice experience. And then this year, things are getting bigger and bigger. I hope it continues for the next 20 years!"
-Krisitan (Âme) Producer / DJ / Innervisions Label Co-owner

ALL ABOUT ÂME
Label: Innervisions

Âme are German duo Kristian Beyer & Frank Wiedemann. Inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder, WestEnd Rec, Transmat, Weather Report and Herbie Hancock they describe they make Detroit-influenced deep house and music with soul.

They have had a string of releases on their own label: Innervisions, as well as Sonar Kollektiv, the Berlin label and network founded by Jazzanova and consisting of a dynamic collection of producers, musicans, DJs, graphic artists and promoters.

Âme's meteoric rise to fame began with their massive international success with their track "Rej", played by everyone from John Tejada to Sven Vath to Damian Lazarus.

How Âme made Rej
Kristian from Âme explains how he made the now classic track 'Rej'.

Onpoint interviews Kristian, who explains how it took seven weeks and plenty of trial and error to get the track right. The funniest part of the interview is hearing the strangest place he's heard 'Rej'--Barcelona has the coolest grandmas ever.
