Mighty duo Frank Weidemann and Kristian Beyer or Âme is known around the world as one of the label bosses of German powerhouse Innervisions and one of the leading acts in electronic music in the last couple of years.

Frank Weidemann is in charge of Âme as a live act while Kristian is in charge of DJ duties. They are both among the best artists in the world in their fields and they constantly push the boundaries of electronic music.
