Many of the big wigs of New Zealand's electronic scenes are present in this re-worked Taite nominated album; from the hip hop inspired R&B of Imugi 이무기, Tei., bb gurl, Dbldbl, and Alexa Casino; to the footwork, techno and jungle of Liam K. Swiggs (The Big Fresh Collective), Go Nuclear, and Jack Russell (Green Grove); or the outsider electronics Big Fat Raro, Citacsy, and Trapjaw Kelpie; and the oceanic vapourwave of Eyeliner, all these acts breathe new life into WOW!'s grooves and textures.
Now that the album is out Amamelia reflects that "Having all of these incredible musicians reimagine my music has been such an incredible and humbling experience. These are people who's work I've loved and lived with, and has in large part inspired my own creative process. I can't imagine collaborating with a better group of people and the result is, frankly, fuckin' sick."
Outside of Amamelia, Amelia can be found creating ambient soundscapes in caves as Old Chips, playing in queerbo pop-punk band Babyteeth, indulging in the happy hardcore of Van Staden & Böhm (VSB), as well as performing as one half of synth pop duo Fimo and dungeon synth outfit Gayblade. In the past she's been the mastermind behind the romantic jangle of Polyester (fka as Kip McGrath), and one third of queer DJ trio PWB. Amelia also has a long running history with 95bFM, where she is a weekly guest on the Breakfast show, and has previously hosted their illustrious chart show, the 95bFM Top 10.
