DJ Amir • DJ Set • Le Mellotron

Music historian, sample excavator, and globally renowned DJ, Amir Abdullah is at heart a “crate digger” who is adamant about preserving the history of Black American music. From 1996-2016 he was one half of the legendary mixtape and DJ duo Kon & Amir while also concurrently holding high-ranking positions at Wax Poetics and Fat Beats. He started his 180 Proof Record label in 2011 as a way to release the back catalog and unreleased sessions from Strata Records. Founded by the late Blue Note Artist Kenny Cox, this Detroit imprint not only cut Jazz records during the early to mid-1970s, they also distributed food to the community, provided educational services for children in the neighborhood and would hold events in the small café called the Strata Gallery.

Bon à quand un Amir & Kon au Mellotron ?!
Sinon le son à 32:00 c'est un missile (capable d'éradiquer le Coronavirus je pense)
