The track is a brand new version of AmPm's January 2021 release ‘On The Black and White’ featuring breakthrough singer Doul, who appeared on Spotify's official ‘RADAR: Early Noise 2021’ playlist. It has been remixed by Indonesia's leading producer, Dipha Barus, who has taken the emotional core of the original version and reworked into an even more danceable sound.
The release is accompanied by a brand new music video. Like the song, the video is a remix too, taking visuals from the original version and reimagining them with a new vibrant, rhythmic style for an immersive new experience.

AmPm have remixed many songs by other artists from around the world, but this is the first time one of their own songs has been remixed by someone else.
Message from Dipha Barus
“It is my absolute honor and pleasure to have been asked to remix ‘On The Black and White’ for my AmPm brothers. I am so grateful to have crossed path with them back in 2017, where we performed on the same stage and have kept in touch ever since. It has truly been an enjoyable experience for me to have worked on the remix, and I believe to have delivered my best during the production. I hope my brothers are happy with the result and hope to perform with them again in the near future – as soon as this is all over!”
Message from AmPm
“We performed with Dipha at the Spotify On Stage festival in Indonesia in 2017, and we have continued to keep in touch. His songs are unique and they convey his identity as an Indonesian artist, so we have a great deal of respect for him. We have been very keen to work together with him someday. We have sometimes thought about asking other artists to remix our songs, but we felt he was the only choice for our very first remix. This was our first time to hear one of our songs reshaped by somebody else's hands, and the results were even better than we had expected – we're so excited! We can't wait till the day we can perform together again.”

Dipha Barus profile
DJ, composer and producer Dipha Barus has become one of the most well-known musicians in his home country of Indonesia. His love of music was shaped during childhood, from joining a band that played gospel in the form of jazz to having music by his side in every waking moment. He found deep appreciation for a wide array of bands and artists, from Sepultura to Jamiroquai, Dead Kennedys, Primal Scream and The Chemical Brothers. His broad taste is reflected in his distinct musical styles, which often feature earthy instruments with a touch of pop and soul.
He began to gain recognition as a member of electronic dance group Agrikulture in the late 2000s, and made a name for himself when the dance track ‘No One Can Stop Us’ featuring singer Kallula became a huge hit in 2016. Since then, he has produced numerous well-received tracks in collaboration with celebrated singers such as Raisa and Bunga Citra Lestari, as well as newcomers Monica Karina and Nadin.
