Exclusive ADE14 Mix - Mixed by DJ Kon
101 Apparel presents Kon & Amir "Music Is The Message"
Previously only available with the purchase of a 101 Apparel t-shirt, now all you cheapies can listen and download the mix t-shirt free.
We here at 101 Apparel have been following Kon and Amir’s record collecting skills since the legendary “On Track” mix cd’s that set a new bar in the crate digging community for what a mix cd could be. Now, 101 Apparel is honored to present “Music is the Message; a design collaboration inspired by the music and djing prowess of Kon and Amir. Each tshirt will come with an exclusive mix cd by Kon and Amir filled with modern soul, disco and other dance goodies .
Like legendary treasure-hunters, Kon and Amir have spent the past twenty-five years excavating record bins finding gems to pierce ears with. Long forgotten musicians are now getting their proper dues and appreciative audiences are being turned on to some amazing music. They have managed to salvage some of the greatest music you've never heard. Audiences who are tired of being force fed sub par music will thank them for providing an alternative.
Fans and music industry peers alike admire Kon and Amir not only for their vast collection of music but also for their party rockin' abilites. Their mastery as DJ's has earned them celebrity status across Eursope. During these tours, it's not uncommon for locals to bring their rare and treasured records to show to give to Kon and Amir as a "thank you" for bringing some of the best music they've ever heard to their attention. Other locals in the European crate diggin' scene often take Kon and Amir to some of the best record shops in their areas. To their peers, famous or unknown, Kon and Amir are looked up to as A List DJ's who keep parties poppin’ with everything from classics that people know and to joints from their special collection that people are happy to be introduced to.
Since first putting it down together in 1997, the duo has released a total of ten albums; six On Track installments to critical acclaim, The Cleaning, another album entitled The Kings of Diggin’, a collaboration with DJ Muro from Japan and most recently two installments of the Off Track series for the BBE with another three to come. Now, it’s time to dust off your dancing shoes and whet your appetite with the exclusive mix cd courtesy of Kon & Amir, Wax Poetics and 101 Apparel.
On Track Volume 2 - Mixed by Kon and Amir
I'm sure I posted this mix a million years ago. I'm re-posting the mix because many of you weren't on the blog a million years ago. Even if you were, I highly recommend you listed to this mix again like I did over the weekend (again and again and again, if you really want to be like me). I don't know if it's because it had been years since I last listened to an On Track mix or what, but damn these mixes are freaking smooth. Side B below.
Who Sampled Interviews DJ Amir
Highly recommended interview with all sorts of nuggets of diggin', music, and deejay culture. Some tidbits
- Fat Beats initially declining to distribute On Track mix series
- Kon doing the "deejaying" and Amir doing the diggin' during On Track mixes
- English interviewer refuting common American DJ claim that European audiences are more open than American (I agree with the logic BTW)
- Too many to spoil
Boiler Room London - DJ Amir
Been a minute since I last heard something from Kon of Kon & Amir fame. What you'd expect from a deepness of crates perspective. Watch and Listen.
DJ Kon on Giles Peterson's BBC 6 Music
Excellent mix of never before heard funk and boogie classics remixed by DJ Kon. Highly Recommended.
101 Apparel Mixes
A bunch of sampler mixes to start the week off. 101 Apparel has been including "promo" mixes by some of the best deejays in the game with the purchase of a t-shirt. You can read Spinna's description of the above mix below, and sampler mixes by Rich Medina and Kon&Amir after the jump.
Throughout my years of digging for records I've always been particularly drawn to music that is heavily influenced by the electronic revolution. There was a long stretch where I would specifically hunt for Moog, New Age, Jazz Fusion, & experimental records... anything that involved synthesizers, but still had a groove. Upon the inquiry from 101 Apparel to come up with a concept for a mix my initial thought was it has to be unique. It was the opportune time for compiling tracks from past to present that capture the electronic experience. Future Shock is born and is without a doubt one of the most brain crushing mixes I've ever done! I hope you dig it" - DJ Spinna

Kon & Amir: 50 Greatest Samples...
Great read for a Sunday morning. I'm sure most of you will critique the list to no end. But, I'll tell you this... I've gone the last 6 weeks without my turntables because I had to pack everything up to show and sell my condo. Being without my tables for the last 6 weeks has been like living without a piece of my soul. Little inspiration, little creativity, everything has just felt very gray. The half hour I spent reading this article was the first time I have felt "normal" in a long time. Hope you all enjoy. Read article

What's In My Bag Feat. Kon and Amir
I hope this was recently recorded because if it was, it looks like DJ Kon's health has significantly improved. I don't recall the details, but I remember reading a few months back that he was having some fairly serious health problems.
Once Around the Block with DJ Amir
Cool video from SpineTV with DJ Amir showing some of his favorite record spots in the Lower Eastside.

On Track Volume 2 - Mixed by Kon and Amir
Another heavyweight mix for re-post Friday. I was reading the comments on the original post of this mix from a year ago and forgot about the requests for a Pipomixes t-shirt. If my man Derek from Manifest is reading, what do you think?On Track Vol. 2 - Mixed by Kon and Amir (download)
On Track Volume 5 - Mixed by Kon and Amir
I've noticed a lot of new visitors to the blog so I thought I'd start posting some of the "premium" mixes on re-post Friday for those of you who missed these the first time around. I've tried to archive the mixes in as user-friendly method as blogspot permits. That being said, I know many of you just rely on the daily posts to keep-up with the mixes. So here ya go. Original post below.Nobody digs deeper than these two, and nobody mixes the breaks like these two dudes. As someone commented yesterday, these two are the definition of hip hop.
