In Ayia Napa this summer, the bass hit different. That “something new” has a name: Global Street. And A!MS wants the world to know it’s not just a sound, it’s a movement.
A!MS is no stranger to cultural collisions. Raised between London’s pirate radio circuits and Cyprus’ sunlit shores, the British-Cypriot artist has always lived in two worlds at once. Add in his Lebanese and Italian bloodline, and you’ve got an artist built for hybrid thinking.“I’ve never fit in one box,” A!MS says. “So why should my music?”
It’s that refusal to be boxed in that drove him from his early days rolling with So Solid Crew, to collaborations with legends like Cool & Dre, The Game, Wiley, and Julian Marley. But Peak Season — his new nine-track LP — is different. It’s not just another record. It’s the first official soundtrack of Global Street.
What does Global Street actually sound like?
On “Light & Love” (with Julian Marley, Antaeus, and Hypertone), reggae’s warmth collides with Mediterranean strings. “Need Somebody” (with UK breakout ArrDee) flips Afrobeat into club-ready adrenaline. Across the record, appearances from Ramz, Oxlade, Dappy, and Lil Pump prove A!MS isn’t just curating — he’s connecting dots the industry didn’t even know existed.
“It’s for the outsiders,” A!MS says. “For the TikTok creators, the sneakerheads, the streamers, the collectors. The people making culture outside the gatekeepers’ walls. That’s who Global Street belongs to.”
Peak Season is the world’s first Global Street soundtrack — diverse, and rooted in A!MS’ belief that music should break down barriers instead of building them.
