Black Lotus is the new project from Amir Amor, the Tehran born, London raised producer who grew up on pirate radio and went on to co-found Rudimental. Along the way he won a BRIT, MOBO Album of the Year and a Mercury Prize nomination, scored five UK number ones and billions of streams, and played festivals from Glastonbury to Coachella and Fuji Rock. Few producers can move between worlds the way Amir does: he co-produced British indie legends Kaiser Chiefs alongside Nile Rodgers, and has written with Chris Martin of Coldplay, P-Funk's George Clinton, Bobby Womack and Donald Fagen of Steely Dan.
After years shaping other artists' records and developing major talent through his own label, Amir is now going independent, into full creative freedom, as Black Lotus. It's genre fluid music, atmospheric and richly textured, rooted in a solid groove and drawing on everything from house and garage to funk and left field electronica, without ever losing the dancefloor.
The project first surfaced on two tracks from Chris Lake's album "Chemistry" on Black Book Records, and now arrives with upcoming debut EP "HYPNOTIC".
Black Lotus comes to the stage as a live show played on real instruments, alongside DJ sets for the clubs. And like his old band, it's built as a collective, a home where new vocal talent can step into the spotlight.
