Amplified is an alternative soul collective operating out of London since its inception in 2001. The mandate has always been the support and promotion of black music not embraced by the mainstream yet loved by millions around the globe. This singular goal alongside the support of the public has enabled Amplified to grow and become a subtle yet strong presence in the black music scene in the UK.
I have had the pleasure of catching Amplified sets as the warm up for acts such as Dwele when I have ventured down to Camden's Jazz Cafe. They also opperate an informative website (see links) that has put me on to plenty of quality music.
BBE have had the good sense to tap into the Amplified collectives good taste in cutting edge soul music and allowed them to release the first of a trilogy of complilations entitled Dirty Soul:Electric
