During the show, we focused on music from the Strata records catalogue and the new double LP, “Strata Records – the Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova” on BBE Records, as well as music from and inspired by KON and Amir’s mixtapes (especially the On Track and Off Track series) and the A&R, production, and remix work Amir has done for various labels over the years.

Head in the Clouds

Head in the Clouds // Radio ARA // Episode 11 // 19.07.2022 // DJ Amir

I'm recovering from an injury and DJing at home is keeping me sane and my mind away from the pain and discomfort. 

Where as in the past i would prepare for many hours and sometimes days for a single DJ set, now i just pick the first song and hit RECORD.

I'm usually perplexed on how to call these DJ sets, these journeys.
So I hope this name conveys the feeling i had and kind of event i'd play this at.

Genres and regions include afro-house, latin house, 70s african funk, soul, tropical house, hip hop, disco, african folk, Caribbean, Cuban, Brazilian, Disco, and more.

And stars don’t come much brighter than the stellar production outfit, and founders of Sonar Kollektiv, Jazzanova. If selecting a track of your own is a tough task, then imagine trying to do so with a back cata- logue as deep and diverse as theirs. The production collective’s work ranges from early dance floor facing club anthems to their more recent focus on performing as a live band, and it’s from their more current material that Joy Road was selected. The track is lifted from their fresh collaboration with DJ Amir, 180 Proof Records and UK label BBE to celebrate the output of Detroit based label Strata Records. Despite its title, Joy Road is a melancholic piece played by the Jazzanova live band and very much conjures up the feel of what it must have been like to be in late ‘60s Detroit at a time of huge decline and subsequent civil unrest. It’s a contemplative cut that sits perfectly at the heart of this compilation.

Sonar Kollektiv was founded in 1997 by Jazzanova. Designed as a platform for own releases it soon attracted numerous new discoveries and like-minded musicians to lead their trumps right here. Still it was never the intention of Sonar Kollektiv to pursue one specific sound or provide an already existing scene. Each and every release on the label (250 and counting) was at all times meant to illustrate the musical taste of the collective, its flavourful development and recollection of past sounds. The various compilations and label showcases played a big part of it. From the renowed „Secret Love“ compilation (No. 6 will be released these days), the „Computer Incarnations For World Peace“ edition, the  „...Boadcasting“ and „....Mixing“-series to the „Romanian Jazz“ label showcase Sonar Kollektiv continuously cares about broadening its own and the horizon of any type of music lovers. How broad this horizon can be expanded showed the release of Âme’s „Rej“ in 2005. Shorthandly minimal techno was redifined and at the same time the sublabel Innervisions (runned by Dixon) was leveraged to worldwide fame. Other milestones in the eventful history of Sonar Kolletiv were the discovery of the New Zealand reggae soul combo Fat Freddy’s Drop (2005), the debuts by Micatone (2003), Benny Sings (2005), Clara Hill (2003) and Eva Be (2004), the first releases by Dimlite (2003), Tricksi (2006), Christian Prommer’s Drumlesson (2007), as well as Georg Levin (2005) and his collaborative project with Dixon, Wahoo (2004). Also for some of today’s legends of more sophisticated electronic music, like Ulrich Schnauss, Ben Klock and Marcin Kozlowski (now a member of Whitest Boy Alive) Sonar Kollektiv offered a stepping stone to their international careers. And in 2003 a certain Eric Wahlforss released his first record here, just before founding Soundcloud.

When at the end of 2009 the rate of fire ceased some thought the label is running on empty or lost touch to contemporary sounds. But the releases of this year so far should prove doubters wrong. The remix album „Jazzanova Upside Down“ (released in January) gathers the who’s who of the currenty most happening and game-changing DJs and producers (Henrik Schwarz, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Filippo Moscatello, Manuel Tur, Mark E, and more) to catapult Jazzanova classics into the future. By signing Phil Gerus from Moscow, the new project Hot Coins out of the UK, EnaWadan from South Africa and the pan-Geman duo Paskal & Urban Absolutes four of the most promising new acts slantingly offside the dancefloor have been added to the already impressive roster. And once again all true pop aficionados with an addiction for soul and a genuine craft in songwriting are pierced to the heart with the brand new albums by FETSUM („The Colors Of Hope“) and Micatone („Wish I Was Here“).

But what is the formula of success of the Berlin based label? A dance music imprint that – with a few exceptions – actually doesn’t release club music? Is it even after all exactly this? Delievering music for prior to, succeeding and one day after a club night?

There’s no other German record label that can boast such an adventurous range of styles: reggae, folk, electronica, jazz, funk, calypso, house, techno and now also chillwave, dubstep, dream pop, and so on. At Sonar Kollektiv there’s somehow room for everything. Still, all of the 250 and counting releases have one common denominator: It’s music made out of passion - without any financial aim or attemps of ingratiation. From and for music lovers.

Erstwhile Nottingham disco party starters now relocated to London with a monthly radio show on www.myhouseyourhouse.net ... 

Set up by DJs Nick Shaw and Ed Cotton and promoter Olly Hewett, Basement Boogaloo began life beneath the streets of Nottingham and developed into one of the city's best-loved parties. It had three simple ingredients: a dancefloor full of like-minded musical souls, a crystal-clear sound system and some of the best DJ talent from across the disco galaxy. 

Here you can listen to recent radio shows and some of the residents' mixes from the past few years. 

Over the course of 7 or so years, the parties moved from Bar None (a tiny basement bolthole) to the Maze (a rowdy local venue which perfectly suited the night's sweaty brand of hedonism) via famed bank holiday all-dayers and NYE shakedowns in Notts, and appearances at the Electric Chair, the Electric Elephant and the Garden Festival in Croatia. The gang also hosted a series of parties and two killer NYEs at The Star of Bethnal Green and a series of more intimate basement affairs in Stoke Newington, London.

Basement Boogaloo would have been nothing without the guests it hosted over the years. Consisting of a fine selection of family and friends and some bona fide scene heavyweights, they included: 

Mark E; PBR Streetgang; Trus'me; The Revenge; Toby Tobias; Pete Herbert; Bill Brewster; Leo Zero; Ray Mang; Wild Geese; Horse Meat Disco; Ashley Beedle; Faze Action; Daniele Baldelli; Cosmo; Ame; Maurice Fulton; Domu; Crazy P; Greg Wilson; Stuart Patterson; Dave Jarvis; Unabombers; Ilija Rudman; Zed Bias; Chris Duckenfield; Yam Who?; Semtek (Don't Be Afraid); Electric Minds; Flash Atkins; James Holroyd; Rob Bright; Schmoov!; Office Gossip; Lovebirds; Atjazz; Mudd; Red Rack 'Em; Rhythm Plate; Winston Hazel; Moonboots; Matty J & Ben Terry (The Pool / Tirk); Alex Phountzi (Bugz in the Attic); Alex Chase (Stones Throw / One-Handed Music); Tom Giles (Claws For?); Jon K (Eyes Down); Solid State (Society); Chris Lowlife (Lights Down Low); Simon Mansell & DJ Da Costa (Southport Weekender); Annabel Fraser (Hupendi); Keep On Magazine DJs; Rick Donohue; Deepsoul3; Jigsawmusic; Francis Wooff; Fran Green; Mr Hill (aka Dru Skillz); Legendary Tone; Mark Rayner; Ed Challands ... and not forgetting sometime resident and Nottingham legend, Beane.

Biography

DJ for over 20 years, Albéric Magnard aka Albruic has played in many Clubs and Festivals in Switzerland and abroad (Vietnam, France, Turquey, Belgium).

His musical tastes cover the whole spectrum of electronic music including other musical genres such as Jazz, Funk, Hip-hop, and World Music. This interest in multiple genres is reflected in his music; indeed, far from being focused on one style, his DJ sets combine multiple genres such as Techno, Deep and Chicago House, Detroit, Nu-Jazz, Electronica and even Drum & Bass.

As producer and musician, Albéric Magnard collaborated with "Zodiac Project" on the album "Guided by Voices" and the EP "Yearnings" (Urgence Disk Records), and with "Freaky Farm" on the songs "Diviner" and "Godlike". Since 2017, he also started producing his own tracks: "Mauritia" (December 2017) and is actually working with several artists for the year 2021.

I'm inspired by growing up in a multi-cultural family, playing classical piano for 7 years, life-long dancing and music-collecting, 20 years of traveling, and an extensive study, practice, and teaching of yoga, tantra and body/energy work.

I weave devotional, folk, organic and electronic music from cultures and ethnic groups around the world into dance journeys that invoke the mystic, the lover and the animal within us.
