Amtrac 'Running After' announced on Billboard
Only three releases in and Kidnap Kid’s Birds That Fly is proving to be one of the most prominent UK labels with knockout releases so far coming from Kidnap Kid himself and Bristolian Applebottom. Keeping the standard sky high, this next offering comes as an epic double hitter from US native Amtrac.
Caleb Cornett aka Amtrac has been pushing his creative limits as a producer, DJ, musician and vocalist since 2008. Through this release he skillfully creates feelings of elation and euphoria sharply contrasted with a moody and melancholic ambience. He explains how he "really wanted to make an EP that translated well on the dance floor and at home, which I feel I achieved with ‘Running After’. ‘No Order’ is like a movie score for the club, diving deeper with it’s dark atmosphere. Big ups to Kidnap Kid. I love the direction he’s taking with the label musically and aesthetically.”
Raised in Kentucky but now based in LA, multitalented artist Amtrac can electrify an audience with his moving live performance and his driving, funkfilled DJ sets. He recently released ‘Those Days’ featuring vocals from Stevie Wonder & Marvin Gaye on legendary UK label Toolroom Records followed by the ‘Lost In Motion’ EP, which really gave a snapshot of where he is at musically. Never content to settle, Amtrac’s musical mood and influences change with each passing season. His ambition and curiosity keep him locked on the edge, always happy to experiment with new techniques and sounds.
