AmpLive is an American music producer and DJ best known as half of the Hip-Hop duo Zion I. AmpLive furthered his production career collaborating with Goapele, Planet Asia, Too Short, Chali 2na, Codany Holiday and Del the Funky Homosapien, as well as remixing works by MGMT, Linkin Park, and Radiohead. His work has also been featured in a number of movies and TV shows, most prominently in ESPN’s Playmakers, but also Honey, Big Fat Liar, America’s Next Top Model and SportsCenter.

Amplive received a cease and desist letter from Warner/Chappell, informing him that his Rainydayz Remixes of Radiohead’s In Rainbows record “created musical arrangements/remixes” without proper approval. After building an internet movement, primarily through YouTube, Stereogum and Pitchfork, a settlement was reached and Amp was allowed to release the album for free.
