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 coming soon is an album he executive produced and is particularly proud of: Strata Records - The Sound of Detroit - Reimagined by Jazzanova.

​

Amir’s love of jazz magical musical moments buried in forgotten grooves led him to his initial 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.

 

While he’s best known as a DJ and compiler of choice tunes, Amir’s expertise also extends to the business side of the music industry hustle. Starting off in 1996 as an entry-level Fat Beats employee, he rose to Vice President before moving on to A&R for Rapster/!K7 and in 2007 he helped launch Wax Poetics’ record label where he worked until 2010. In 2011 he started his record label, 180-Proof, which owns the exclusive rights to release Strata Records’ influential back catalogue and unreleased sessions.

 

Amir lives for sharing his passion and knowledge about obscure and underappreciated music whether it’s as a music industry executive or an educator. Like the jazz musicians that continue to inspire him, Amir Abdullah keeps pushing the envelope of adventurous music into new and exciting places, shedding light on forgotten artists and sounds while inspiring future musicians and music lovers worldwide.

This week on The Guest Mix we hand over the reigns to DJ, label founder and self-professed music nerd, Dom Ore. @dom-williams-7

Over the last seven years has been fast establishing himself as one of London’s finest DJs and label owners.
 
Beginning his career as a label manager at Acid Jazz, Dom cut his teeth working with artists like Leroy Hutson, The Brand New Heavies and Matt Berry - all of which contributed to Dom’s comprehensive knowledge of music from across the spectrums of soul, jazz, disco and beyond.
 
Between hosting a fortnightly radio show on Soho Radio and contributing DJ mixes for the likes of Huey Morgan and Craig Charles on BBC 6 Music, Dom can be found DJing across London and the UK with shows at Glastonbury festival, The Pickle Factory, Spiritland, Brilliant Corners, The Crofters Rights (Bristol), Corsica Studios, Bussey Building and Brixton Jamm.
 
Only 5 years after joining Acid Jazz, Dom founded Miles Away Records. The label’s mission was to reissue soulful music from all over the world on vinyl. The label has gone from strength to strength, with releases: Patience by Rokk; It’s Time For A Change by Lamont Butler and Dancing Close by Rita Joyce (receiving critical acclaim from Gilles Peterson and Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy). Miles Away has established itself as one of this generation’s most exciting reissue labels.  
 
Alongside his own label, Dom now works in partnership with legendary labels such as Brunswick Records, Easy Street Records, P&P, Warlock Records and Sleeping Bag Records, enabling their legendary artists and tracks to reach new generations and audiences.
 
Dom has put together an hour long mix packed with disco, boogie & gospel heat featuring music from the likes of Aleem, Cloud, NYCC, Loose Ends & Stargaze.

The Guest Mix 037: Dom Ore

They say that there are 2 eras in modern music. The one that came before the invention of the Roland TR-808 drum machine and the era that came after. We believe that statement to be true. Such is the massive influence of that seminal and powerful machine in the music that we play and listen today. And if there is a particular genre intrinsically linked to the sounds and drum patterns of a Rolant TR-808 machine that is obviously Electro. From Kraftwerk, to Afrika Bambaataa to Drexciya among many others, the fantasy of a sound produced by robots that have a human soul has intrigued and seduced and influenced us in many ways. Today in our Curtis Radio "10 songs" series, we are delighted and honored to present a very special guest that belongs to that original lineage of electro originators. The Egyptian Lover is one of the most prominent and creative ambassadors of that happy crossing where electro and funk get together. He is electrofunk royalty, a cornerstone of a hybrid sound (electro + funk) that we love so much because it instantly makes us shake our asses and feel good. So press play, turn the volume up and enjoy 10 songs that really matter in The Egyptian Lover's world.

10 TUNES TRACKLIST:
Prince - Head
Sexual Harassment - I Need A Freak 
Bar Kays - Freaky Behavior

Kraftwerk - Numbers
Cameo - Shake your Pants
Rick James - Give it to me Baby
Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop ‘til you Get Enough
