My two favourite crate diggers return - and the taster track 'Africa' gives me goose pimples everytime!
Modern producers, searching for music of integrity, continue
to scour dusty racks of records for inspiration. What Kon and Amir have done is
make their lives easier. The first collection in the five part “Off Track”
series, contains 28 superb songs that you’ve probably never heard of. From a
disco tribute to Muhammad Ali to a slice of soulful South African jazz, this is
music for the connoisseur. Just don't be surprised when you hear it being
sampled on the next big R&B anthem...
Like legendary treasure-hunters, Kon and Amir have spent the past twenty-five
years excavating record bins finding gems to pierce ears with. Fortunately,
everyone gets to share in the riches of their labor with the release of their
latest offering The “Off Track” Series; Long forgotten musicians are now
getting their proper dues and appreciative audiences are being turned on to some
amazing music.
The Off Track series builds on the successes of their highly respected “On
Track” series. Unlike the “On Track” series, which featured short snippets
of samples and breaks, the Off Track double disc series features full versions
of some the best and rarest audible gems in their entirety. We are very excited
about this indeedy!
