Rare Independent DIY Jazz with DJ Amir

#vinylmix #majandfriends #jazz All music rights belong to their rightful owners. Please support the musicians and buy their music. ------------ Amir Abdullah is part of Hip Hop history as a sample excavator, music historian, compilation curator and DJ who’s already acknowledged alongside some of his childhood heroes. As a DJ he’s rocked parties from Brooklyn to Berlin, where he’s been based for the past few years; as a producer, he reinterprets classic cuts into innovative remixes; as an educator, he lectures on topics ranging from cultural appropriation in Hip Hop to the history of independent jazz; as a radio DJ his monthly residency for Worldwide FM, The Khronicles, airs every first Tuesday; and as a curator and label executive he’s responsible for over a dozen releases for his label 180-Proof Records. His latest release, distributed by BBE Records, is DJ Amir presents Strata Records -The Sound of Detroit Volume 1 and an album he executive produced and is particularly proud of: Strata Records - The Sound of Detroit - Reimagined by Jazzanova. Amir’s love of jazz dates to his childhood through his father’s expansive collection as well as his older brothers and sisters who turned him on to artists who would be heavily sampled by his Hip Hop heroes. This education subconsciously laid the groundwork for his first claim to fame as one-half of the legendary mixtape and DJ duo: Kon & Amir. Their half-dozen “On Track'' mixes and three “Off tracks compilations for BBE, culled almost exclusively from Amir’s collection and skillfully mixed by Kon, quintessentially captured the spirit of Hip Hop’s Golden Era and its obsession with magical moments buried in forgotten grooves. In 2016, BBE released DJ Amir’s first solo compilation, DJ Amir Presents: Buena Musica Y Cultura, a fiery mix of New York City Salsa pulled from his extensive collection of lost local hits and even some unreleased Latin jams excavated from the Strata Records catalog "This mix is dedicated to those unsung labels and artists that weren’t afraid to blaze their own trails and push the envelope creatively." ------------ Our Silver and Gold Tier supporters get uninterrupted, uncut, ad-free, high-quality audio of all mixes.
