While visiting the city of NewYork last Summer, I had the chance to sit down with Amir Abdullah – also known as Amir of Kon&Amir fame, worldwide renowned kings of crate digging and record collecting. Amir is currently label boss of WaxPoetics Records, so I decided to talk to him about his adventures in digging, his vision on running a label, his work with Kon, and pimps and whores, of course.
Welcome along, it’s On-Point TV, all the way from WaxPoetics Headquarters and its noisy air-conditioning system:
Get your hands on those precious WaxPoetics Records, because…
“Wax Poetics Records was formed to bring timeless, handpicked releases to the ears of eager listeners. The label provides a platform for branded promotional releases and events that will help you reach the tastemaking music community.”
Kon&Amir are starting their European tour this Friday at Da Bluefunk District in Tavernier, Brussels. Be there!
