Amotik

Amotik is the alias of Anil Chawla, a British-Indian producer based in Berlin who has become a staple of the city's contemporary techno scene. Since launching his self-titled imprint in 2015, he has cultivated a sound defined by hypnotic, polyrhythmic loops and a deep, subterranean aesthetic.

His work is frequently associated with the 'Berghain sound,' characterized by high-fidelity production that maintains a gritty, industrial edge. Unlike many of his peers who lean into abrasive noise, Amotik utilizes space and atmosphere, often incorporating ambient textures that provide a sense of scale to his driving rhythms. His career arc shows a consistent dedication to the 12-inch format, with a series of numbered EPs that serve as a masterclass in functional techno. Critically, he is respected for his ability to bridge the gap between the raw energy of UK techno and the clinical precision of the Berlin school. His cultural position is that of a 'DJ's producer,' with his tracks being staples in the sets of techno heavyweights like Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann.
