Adam Rios and Mark Lewis are the production duo AmFlow. Mark Lewis began DJing in the mid-1980s around Newark, New Jersey, before launching the house music community platform Buttersoulcafe, built around the message: “it’s about the music.” The platform reached listeners in over 70 countries.
After returning to the local club scene in 2010 with a monthly party, Lewis moved into production and remix work, earning support from Timmy Regisford and releasing music on labels including Restricted Access and Tony Records. He later hosted the FLOW parties at Club Elevation and, in 2016, co-founded AMFLOW Music with Adam Rios. He continues to produce and DJ soulful, Afro and club-oriented sets.
Adam Rios has worked with Louie Vega on releases for Vega Records and has collaborated with artists including Erykah Badu, Cleo Sol and Koffee. His production work spans House, Broken Beat, R&B, Nu-Jazz and Soulful House.
Mark Francis is a DJ who worked alongside Timmy Regisford at New York City’s legendary Club Shelter and has developed a distinctive style built on seamless blends and rhythmic journeys for the dancefloor.
It is fitting that this five-track digital EP arrives as BBE Music celebrates 30 years of releasing innovative Black music across genres and continents.
