Off the back of his 2024 album, ‘YOU.ME.NOW’, mainstay artist Genix marks his return to Anjunabeats with new single, ‘Amnesia’.
With the success of his album, totaling over 9M streams to date and a subsequent tour with more than 20 headline dates, 2024 was a massive year for Genix. Just early this year, he joined Anjunabeats at multiple label shows, including the Anjunabeats Showcase in Austin, Texas, the Anjunabeats Miami Pool Party and most recently the Anjuna25 showcase in New York City at Avant Gardner in May.
The inspiration behind ‘Amnesia' comes from the British DJ and producer’s own experiences in the famous Amnesia Ibiza nightclub during his youth and is a tribute to the nostalgic sounds and music that inhabited the venue. Having been road tested over the past six months by both himself and Above & Beyond, 'Amnesia' fuses together that nostalgic feel with the classic Genix trance sound.
With more music to come this year and more shows on the horizon, this new release sets the scene for the latest chapter of Genix.
Genix ‘Amnesia’, out now on Anjunabeats.

[item value="10"]Genix - Amnesia[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The inspiration behind ‘Amnesia’ stems from the British DJ and producer’s personal experiences at the iconic Amnesia Ibiza nightclub, creating a tribute to the nostalgic soundscape that defined the venue. Technically, ‘Amnesia’ stands as a quintessential Genix production, meticulously crafted to evoke both euphoria and reminiscence. At its core, ‘Amnesia’ is a 134 BPM proglifting trance track, a hallmark tempo that balances energetic drive with melodic fluidity. The production begins with tightly programmed techy drums, characterized by crisp hi-hats and sharp snares, establishing a rhythmic foundation that commands attention. Layered over this are pulsating basslines—crafted using side-chaining compression techniques to ensure dynamic interplay with the kick drum, adding depth and groove. The thumping kicks are engineered with precision, using multi-band EQ and saturation to achieve a punchy, resonant quality that cuts through the mix without overpowering. These are complemented by atmospheric pads and arpeggiated synths, carefully designed with modulation effects like reverb and delay to create an expansive soundstage. The breakdown is a masterclass in euphoric tension-building. Here, Genix employs lush, colorful synths with wide stereo imaging, underpinned by subtle harmonic layers that gradually build emotional intensity. Automation of filter sweeps and reverb tails helps transition smoothly into the track’s climax—a vibrant, optimistic burst of melodic energy. The drop reintroduces the driving kick and bass with added melodic motifs, enhancing the sense of euphoria. Throughout ‘Amnesia,’ nostalgic themes are woven seamlessly with modern trance elements, showcasing Genix’s adeptness at blending the old with the new. The meticulous attention to detail in production techniques, from sound design to dynamic mixing, ensures that ‘Amnesia’ is not just a track but an immersive auditory journey. #PureGold indeed, an exhilarating homage that resonates both technically and emotionally. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
