Hypnosis EP
Peach Discs - Cat No: PEACH024
- updated:2025-10-17
Peach Disc, the label run by Shanti Celeste & Gramrcy. Five tracks reflecting the essence of garage, UK funky and sound system culture.
Peach Discs’ first EP of the post-summer season comes from DJ, producer, and our good pal Amaliah.
The five tracks that make up the Hypnosis EP are a true showcase of Amaliah's rapidly growing skills as a producer, as she picks thoughtfully from her inspirations and flips them into a uniquely Amaliah-coded record – leaning into the housier side of her sound while incorporating elements of bass, garage, UK funky, and prog that have become her calling card.
Lead track "Hypnosis" draws a line straight back to her early UK raving days, with tuff, speed-garage-indebted drums bouncing off prowling subs and emosh, pinging synth lines, while "Watch This" harnesses a similarly heaving bassline but dips towards classic UKG territory with its swinging, broken beat and disembodied vocal chops.
The closest thing to straight-up house on the EP, "Hold Me Closer," features Amaliah's vocals for the first time, as well as additional production from Shanti – an influence evident in the tight, ascending bassline that wraps itself around the stomping percussion.
"Laser Tag" and "Earthling" are maybe the most Amaliah-coded tracks on the record – a pair of highly percussive, UK funky inspired tunes that balance shoulder-bumping drums with wild, arcing synths that prowl across the stereo field, trippy and screwface inducing in equal measure.
Amaliah is also the founder of Borne Fruits, an independent label, event series, and monthly Rinse FM show, showcasing new sounds and emerging talent. This record follows neatly in that vein, as her own emerging talent marries forward-thinking sound design with her roots in raving and soundsystem culture for an EP that's all her own, and one we're thrilled to release.

"Peach Discs' first post-summer-season EP comes from DJ, producer and close friend of ours, Amaliah. The five tracks that make up the 'Hypnosis' EP show Amaliah at her best as a rapidly growing producer, thoughtfully selecting from her inspirations and rendering them in her own distinct code. Lead track 'Hypnosis' has tough, speed-garage-leaning drums bouncing off a prowling sub and an emo, taut synth line, pulling her straight back to her early UK raving days. 'Watch This' likewise makes use of a heaving bassline while stepping into classic UKG territory with swinging broken beats and disembodied vocal chops. On 'Hold Me Closer', the EP's most straight-up house cut, Amaliah's own vocals feature for the first time, with additional production from Shanti. The two percussive, UK funky-inspired tracks send shoulder-shaking drums and wildly arcing synths roaming across the stereo field in balance, trippy and screwface-inducing. Amaliah is also the founder of Borne Fruits, an independent label, event series and monthly Rinse FM show showcasing new sounds and talent. Here her own emerging talent fuses cutting-edge sound design with her roots in rave and sound system culture, making this an EP that could only be hers. (Auto Translated from Information)"
