On Good Friday we welcome a part of Hip Hop history; a sample excavator, music historian, compilation curator and DJ! DJ Amir aka Amir Abdullah flies in from Berlin to play an extended 4 hour set!
Grow resident DJ, Brunao will be providing the warm up, spinning the best in Brazilian grooves and soulful disco flavours from 6pm.
A DJ with an unprecedented musical knowledge, DJ Amir is as comfortable behind the decks as he is behind the lectern, living to share his passion of music. His DJ sets tell a story and give context of different music genres, relating disco to house, jazz to latin and beyond, provoking emotion from the sheer mountains of music at his disposal, while never forgetting the vibe, dance floor and party!
Residing in Berlin, via Boston and Brooklyn, DJ Amir’s first claim to fame was as part of DJ duo Kon and Amir (who celebrate 25 years this 2022), a series of mixes which captured the spirit of Hip Hops golden era. This led to the duo signing to BBE for a further three ‘Off Track’ mixes and the beginning of his long-standing relationship with the London label.
In 2011, Amir launched his own 180-Proof, an acclaimed label which owns the music rights to Detroit’s Strata Records. This has seen him continue to partner with BBE to release reworks and remixes of Strata’s stunning catalogue, plus, the exciting new project ‘Strata Records – The Sound Of Detroit’, a LP where the wonderful Jazzanova have been invited to rework, reinterpret and reimagine some standout moments from Strata’s heralded catalogue. DJ Amir will accompany Jazzanova on a European tour this spring, with dates including London and Manchester.
Whether through his extensive work in A&R, in the clubs or on the radio with his monthly show on Worldwide FM, DJ Amir is revered by his peers and a true student of music, educating others everywhere he goes.
