SIDE A : Joana
SIDE B : Xintado na praça

Cap Verde music has been getting props lately, and for a good reason. Mornas and coladeras are beautiful, definitely, but we are heading directly towards the « funana » style of the late 80s, with cheesy but irresistibly effective synths and a wrecking high tempo. 

High quality pressing and mastering on 10inch. Both sides tested on massive soundsystems and dancefloor approved. Big sound !

Amir is known from his legendary mixtapes "Off Track" with Kon, his BBE compilations ("On Track"), his work as Waxpoetics labelman and so much more. His collection is deep, really deep, and goes from disco to leftfield soundtrack recordings, with a special love for latin and afro flavors, "as long as the music is great", as he says very accurately.

The recording of this was done in summer 2010. Amir was still labelman at Waxpoetics (which he has now left) and talks about his early digging memories, the Black Dynamite soundtrack, his meeting with Lyman Woodard etc. Many thanks to Amir for making time for this. A genuine gentleman he is.

This is the first part in a new serie of radio documentaries called ZOOM IN. Recorded and edited by Funky Bompa, these docs will dip us into the world of people who are truly serious about music. Be it obsessed record collectors, labelheads or all round great music connaisseurs, it's with your eyes closed and wide open ears that you'll hear them chat, aknowledge, explain, all of this illustrated with music excerpts and field recordings from the moment and place of the interview.

ZOOM IN #1 Dj Amir (NYC/Off Track/BBE/Waxpoetics)

The very first release on Bompa Discos
Release date : April 15th 2012
Limited 300 copies - 7inch only
Mastered by Frankie "Sofrito" Francis

Two exclusive tropical edits based on the sweet Brasil sounds. The hypnotic guitar-lick and samba bonanza turns Berimbao into the ultimate yet classy uptempo bomb. On the B side, it's the mental piano hook that makes the cut. A repetitive swing that works up into a burning tune.
Certified loud pressing and big sound.

For the second release, we're heading into exotic dimensions. The A-side features a spooky and obscure version of the super-classic colombian theme "Cumbia sampuesana", with sleazy midtempo synth lines and out-there jungle sounds. The B-side is an exotic twist straight from the Peruvian sixties, covering Khachaturian's Sabre Dance. No this is not a circus, it's a party !
Certified loud pressing and big sound.

BD7002A - Cumbia sampuesana (Funky Bompa edit)

A third release with a hard afro flavor. The A-side features an uptempo gwoka drumtrack laden with acid kicks and hectic sound effects. Stripped down for maximum effect. B-side is a superheavy benga from Kenya, slightly shortened into a sexy burner. Both sides tested on massive soundsystems and dancefloor approved. Big sound !
