Kimonos & Amour Propre Debut on Nu Moda With Two-Track Release “The City / All I Want”

iami-based producer duo KIMONOS and French electronic duo Amour Propre make their debut on Max Styler’s Nu Moda with their new two-track single “The City / All I Want”, bringing together two distinct takes on groove-driven electronic music. The release finds the two duos merging their respective worlds across tech house, indie dance, and melodic club music.

Lead track “The City” takes a fierce, club-ready approach to tech house, built around a street-hardened rap vocal hook that gives the record its unmistakable attitude. Sharp percussive loops and menacing buzzsaw rolls drive the production forward, reinforced by fast-attacking rave stabs, murky arpeggiations, gritty hoover fills, and punch vocal chops. The result is a dark, high-impact club cut that pulls from indie dance while maintaining the rhythmic precision and energy of contemporary tech house.

“All I Want” offers another dimension of the collaboration, bringing the two duos’ shared affinity for melody and emotion into focus. Together, the two–track release captures the chemistry between KIMONOS and Amour Propre, whose connection began online before evolving into an exchange of demos, and eventually, a collaborative studio process.

Operating from Miami, KIMONOS are a producer duo composed of Gabriel Falanga and Omri Malka, establishing an increasingly global presence through their distinctive blend of house and techno. Their dynamic sound moves between groovy and melodic productions and darker, club-focused territory, drawing from melodic techno, and indie dance. The duo broke out with their 2019 single “En Su Lugar,” which has amassed more than 62 million streams, and have since released music alongside Ugo Banchi, Josh Gigante, and Sounds of Ritual, while delivering remixes for Samson, The Archer, and RÜFÜS DU SOL. They have a headline show at Members LA, and a show in Tokyo.

French duo Amour Propre, composed of Sami Benjelloun and Clément Guigou, have developed an emotionally charged sound informed by the legacy of French Touch, indie dance, and tech house. Their catalog includes EPs and releases on Rose Avenue (RÜFÜS DU SOL’s label), Diynamic, Abracadabra, Warner UK, and Universal, while their music has received repeat support from BBC Radio 1 and been championed by Adriatique, Swedish House Mafia, Innellea, Black Coffee, Nora En Pure, Eli & Fur, Damian Lazarus, Cassian, Massano, and WhoMadeWho. To coincide with the release, they are embarking on their debut US Tour around the release, including three sets at Burning Man, and shows in Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco.

“We’re really excited to finally share this release. We’ve put a lot of energy and passion into it, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it and make it their own.” - KIMONOS

“This EP is the result of months of friendship and musical connection between Amour Propre and Kimonos. Both duos have been playing together for a long time, and a collaborative EP felt like the natural next step.” - Amour Propre
