Artist Profile: AMALIAH

AMALIAH builds her sets around friction and swing, always keeping drums tense. Simultaneously, she slides between techno pressure, clipped house propulsion, and broken UK weight. She brings peak-time UK drive, then drops in leftfield turns and micro-shifts that keep the groove alert. London taught her that lesson, where crowds decide quickly and punish vague phrasing.

AMALIAH’s sound moves through UK-legacy and keeps slipping sideways, keeping the body oriented by having the drums tell the story. This orientation sits behind Borne Fruits, the label and events platform she founded in 2019. She built it as a working ecosystem, championing emerging artists while they are still carrying surprise. The platform runs a regular show on Rinse FM and has staged nights at Pickle Factory, The Cause, and Phonox.

Borne Fruits 001 (2021) arrived as a two-track label debut in 2021, designed for the night to last. Manifold EP (On Loop, 2023) then pushed her into a wider orbit. Its highlight is Call Super’s remix of “Helix,” which closes the EP at the intersection of his elastic tension and her pressure instinct.

AMALIAH returned to her imprint with Borne Fruits 002 (2025), under her full name, Amaliah Phillips-Peace. The two-tracker is a clear nod to groove-heavy ’90s house, updated with crisp percussion and infectious basslines.  

Her latest, the Hypnosis EP on Peach Discs (2025), expands her palette as a more house-forward release. It still folds bass, garage, UK funky, and prog, but added production from Shanti Celeste shapes the EP’s brighter edges.

AMALIAH also contributes to compilation worlds, including Dekmantel Ten: A Decade Of Dekmantel Festival on Dekmantel Recordings with “Labyrinth,” and Synergy on Black Artist Database with “Mespo Dance.”

As a DJ, AMALIAH appears across the online platforms that detail modern DJing: Crack Magazine, Kiosk Radio, The Lot Radio, Resident Advisor, Ransom Note, fabric, Truancy, NTS, and more. Across these recordings, she builds momentum and makes tempo changes feel instinctive.

That control carries straight into her live schedule. Dekmantel and DGTL reward DJs who phrase with precision under bright lights. India's Magnetic Fields and Croatia’s Love International call for flow that stays driving, even in the open air. She has taken that approach into rooms with long memories, including Panorama Bar, Tresor, and Nowadays.

That approach explains the fit with Apricots’ Jam for ctrl x Apricots’ Jam w/ AMALIAH, Alexandra, and Long on February 20, 2026. The party values precision and intensity throughout its communal nights, and AMALIAH does the same. She keeps theatrics out of the booth and puts maximal focus and structure into the mix.

By the time she steps into Control Club, this booking will feel like the snuggest of fits. AMALIAH is an artist who lets reaction emerge from phrasing and weight, with timing taking things over from there. In her hands, the room moves because the groove always holds.
