Byron Bay-based indie-dance artist, AKA Lui has just revealed his stunning debut single ‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’ – mixed and produced by himself and mastered by Grammy Award Winning Engineer Greg Calbi (Tame Impala, MGMT, FOALS, Foster The People).
Combining disco-infused beats with groove-laden bass and guitars, amid a punch of 80’s inspired analogue synths, ‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’ recalls the vibe of indie-pop luminaries Phoenix, Chromeo and Jungle. From the opening line, the enigmatic virtuoso fluently reels in the listener with his infectious soulful melodies and electro-funk breaks.
AKA Lui talks about the meaning behind ‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’:
“‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’ is the fight against your desires. It’s about being addicted to someone or something, and yet trying to convince yourself that you’re not. It’s the struggle between giving in and embracing your lustfulness, or fighting against it for the betterment of your future self”.
Although ‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’ is his first official release, AKA Lui has already been carving out a solid reputation with his highly energetic live show, which has included performances at Falls Festival, Byron Bay, and also supporting the likes of Northeast Party House, Harvey Sutherland and PVT.
After bunkering down in his home studio writing and recording for the best part of 2018, AKA Lui is excited to be spending the new year releasing new music and traversing the countryside playing shows.
In the coming weeks AKA Lui will reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’.
‘Hey! I Don’t Want That Anyway’ will be available worldwide on Friday May 17

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
