"Amp" is a music video program on MTV that aired from 1997 to 2001. It was aimed at the techno and rave crowd and was responsible for exposing many electronica acts to the mainstream. When creator Todd Mueller left the show in 1998, it was redubbed "Amp 2.0". The show aired some 46 episodes in total over its 6-year run. "Amp"'s time slot was moved around quite a bit, but the show usually aired in the early morning hours on the weekend.

Format

The format of the show strongly resembled the original MTV model of broadcasting primarily music videos, but without VJs to host. The show started with an intro and logo, some basic information about that week's show contents via onscreen text, then an hour of electronic music was played before the show's conclusion. The show's theme song was "Tempest" by Deepsky. Nick Philip, a San-Francisco based multi-media artist created the first video for Amp, "Meccano" by Sun Electric. [Darren Keast: [http://www.eastbayexpress.com/2001-08-29/music/computer-world/full Computer World] ". East Bay Express, August 29, 2001] Occasionally, non-electronic but still classic music videos were aired for the sake of nostalgia within the electronic genre, such as Ofra Haza's music video for "Im Nin'Alu," which was sampled by several electronic artists in the early 1990's.

Compilations

MTV produced two compilations of songs by artists featured on "Amp". "MTV's Amp" was released in 1997 and "MTV's Amp 2" came out a year later in 1998. Both albums were released by Caroline Records.
