Amplifier is back - bigger, better and bolder!

The groundbreaking Kiwi music initiative Amplifier has relaunched with a fresh focus that ups the ante on taking local talent to the world and re-establishes itself as a finger-on-the-pulse tastemaker worth following.

Set up in 1999 as the home of music in Aotearoa, Amplifier ceased website sales a year ago. Following a revamp and incorporation of sibling operation theaudience, the best New Zealand music will now be showcased through steaming audio platforms, starting with Spotify. It also expands its scope internationally - both in reach and in the artists it covers.

It begins with two curated Spotify playlists:

AMPLIFIER BUZZ

It’s an exciting new chapter for the independent initiatives, which have worked with more than 3000 artists over a 17-year history. Cementing long-lasting relationships with musicians and labels, Amplifier has proudly represented many household names, fromFat Freddy's Drop to Savage, and Dave Dobbyn to Tiki Taane.

Collectively the two services have also worked with up-and-coming acts now forging paths in the local industry and on the international scene, such as Theia, Name UL,Shakes, Nomad, Louis Baker, Rousseau and many more.

On expanding into playlist curation, content manager Andy Low comments:
“We’re thrilled to showcase some of the best new music through carefully selected playlists, presented both locally and abroad. Some artists you already know will now be introduced to international audiences, and others you'll be discovering for the first time. We hope you enjoy."
