Following up on last summer's dark and driving "Amotik 013," Amotik returns with the hypnotic rhythms of his next installment on his self-titled label. For the "Amotik 014" EP, Amotik is joined by Tina Ramamurthy, whom Amotik previously worked with on his 2020 Bpitch record and his second album "Patanjali" in 2022. This time, Ramamurthy joins Amotik for the entire "Amotik 014" EP, with "Chauhattar" starting things off with psychedelic spoken word vocals over dubbed-out hits and a chugging beat.

The track is neatly followed by "Pachattar," which continues that early 2000s drummy, New York feel on the B-side of Amotik's "Amotik 014." Here, Tina's vocal echoes through cavernous halls while its massive low-end-heavy drums keep steady in a real trip. "Chihattar" then emerges from the darkness, bright pads, and subtle percussion accompanying Tina Ramamurthy's gorgeous poetry, evoking the familiar comforts of nostalgia and closing this three-track EP from the husband and wife duo.

Releasing solo for years on his self-titled imprint and garnering a long list of accolades on labels like Reclaim Your City, Delsin, and Mord, Amotik launched AMTK+ in 2023 to feature other artists via split EPs, releasing music by Deluka, Arthur Robert, Decka, Kameliia, Decoder, and himself across the first releases. Following a busy start to the year at the likes of Berghain alongside gigs in Barcelona and Tbilisi, Amotik is sure to continue cementing himself as a versatile and key player in modern Techno.
