Kon & Amir "On Track Volume 1-2" (Mixtape)


The story of Kon and Amir begins in the record bins of Boston. A chance encounter at Biscuithead Records in 1996 would lead to one of the best-kept alliances in the beat digging world. Within a year of their meeting, the pair cut On Track Volume 1, the first in what would be a five part series of mix discs, infecting ears with seamless blends of unparalleled beats and breaks. Over a lifetime of collecting, they’ve unearthed records that define the word rare, pulling from the best in deep funk, soul, jazz, R&B, Latin, reggae, and of course, hip-hop. No bin is too dirty for Kon and Amir; these DJs have scoured all manner of records spots in their day, braving seedy barrooms and rabid fanatics along the way.
