About Amine Edge & Dance
Amine Edge & DANCE, the French house duo from Southern France, are credited with coining the term “G-house” to describe their low-slung, funked-up, gangsta-influenced take on dance music. DJ Mag's studio feature described the duo's breakthrough release “Halfway Crooks” as a vocal house track that sampled Mobb Deep's “Shook Ones,” a production choice that became a defining marker of their sound and helped establish the aesthetic behind their CUFF label.
The duo draws stylistic inspiration from early house, Philly funk, 1980s hip-house, and everything between, a blend that Decoded Magazine highlighted as central to Amine Edge & DANCE's musical identity across both productions and DJ sets. CUFF, the label they own and run, continues releasing tracks under their direction, with recent output including material from artists like Nautik, extending the duo's influence into a wider roster of G-house-adjacent producers and DJs.
DJ Mag's dedicated feature on the duo's “guide to hip-hop” underscored the genre's deep influence on their approach, tying their DJ selections directly back to the hip-hop samples and sensibility that inform their productions. Their club and festival sets remain closely tied to the G-house sound they pioneered and continue to champion through CUFF.
