Musical Style & Influence
Amel has a background in UK garage, having grown up seeing the likes of Laurent Garner and being particularly inspired by "The Man With The Red Face" because of the live saxophonist accompanying the DJ set. Amel used to sneak out of his family home at the ages of fourteen and fifteen to go to local clubs, he states his influences as Derrick May, Leftfield, Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills, and A Guy Called Gerald.
Critical Response
The response to Amel's first EP, Dedication, has been largely positive, as it has also been for his New Beginnings EP. Never Goodbye EP has been described as an "innovative, forward thinking EP".
