The Sound of Detroit (Volume 2)
DJ Amir returns with a second volume exploring Detroit's legendary Strata Records catalogue. Building on volume one's soulful foundation, this collection pivots toward the label's groovier, funkier dimensions while honouring its avant-garde legacy. Drawing from Strata's rich archive, Amir curates tracks from The Soulmates, Fito Foster, Keith Boone & Janice Coombs, and The Contemporary Jazz Quintet. His deep connection to the label has already yielded the restored Charles Mingus 'Jazz in Detroit' box set and collaborations with Jazzanova, Kai Alce, Wajeed, and Henrik Schwarz. The Sound of Detroit Volume 2 celebrates Strata Records' pivotal role in Black music innovation and Detroit's enduring cultural significance as a centre for artistic excellence.
