Train Wreck Mix

Kon & Amir

BBE, New York

Like legendary treasure-hunters, Kon and Amir have spent the past 25 years excavating record bins finding gems to pierce ears with. Fortunately, everyone gets to share in the riches of their labour with the release of their latest offering 'Kon & Amir presents Off Track Vol. 1 - The Bronx'; Long forgotten musicians are now getting their proper dues and appreciative audiences are being turned on to some amazing music. Since first putting it down together in 1997, the duo has released a total of eight albums; six 'On Track' installments of critical acclaim, another album called 'The Cleaning', and most recently, an album appropriately titled, 'The Kings Of Diggin' along with DJ Muro from Japan. Thousands of hours, dollars, and record stores later, Kon & Amir are now ready to bring five more expertly compiled double-albums to the forefront for us to enjoy. With their wildly-successful 'Off Track' series on BBE Records, 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. As Amir puts it, "We made this for the neglected audience, for people who are looking for mature music. Simply put, these treasures are food for the soul."
