Genesys II is the second studio album by Italian-American electronic music producer and DJ Anyma (Matteo Milleri). It was released on 29 March 2024 through Afterlife and Interscope Records. Serving as the second installment in his Genesys trilogy, the project follows his highly successful 2023 debut album, Genesys. The album is structured as a conceptual double project, with the first disc featuring brand-new original productions and the second disc consisting of remixes of tracks from the original Genesys album by various prominent electronic artists.
Background and production Following the commercial success and massive touring schedule surrounding his debut album, Anyma continued to expand his immersive audiovisual universe revolving around the humanoid character "EVA" and themes of artificial intelligence. Genesys II was conceptualized not only as a continuation of this narrative but also as a bridge between his original works and the broader electronic music community.
The first half of the album focuses on new melodic techno tracks, featuring collaborations with artists such as Chris Avantgarde, Rebūke, Argy, and PARISI. Notable singles from this section include "Pictures of You" and "Higher Power". The second half serves as a remix album, bringing in heavyweights of the techno and house scenes—including Eric Prydz, Amelie Lens, Kölsch, and Adriatique—to reinterpret Anyma's previous hits like "Consciousness", "Welcome To The Opera", and "Syren".
Release Genesys II was officially released on 29 March 2024. Alongside standard digital streaming and download formats, a special limited edition 4-LP vinyl set was made available through the Interscope and Anyma webstores. The release coincided with Anyma's growing presence at major global festivals and set the stage for his subsequent residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, where tracks from Genesys II were prominently featured alongside his signature CGI visuals.
