Happy Monday Folks! Todays treat come from the superdupper deep crate duo Kon & Amir. These guys have a lot of rare records. How rare you ask? Let me put it to you this way...if the records they have were flavors they would be exotic , like aged Brazilian Sardo,  sage and wild boar sausage, or smoked duck liver pate. If todays mix were a flavor it would be Jeri Curry, and I would ask for seconds. I hope your hungry

"Off Track III finds the New York/Boston-based pair shining light on another diverse array of underexposed vinyl. The eclectic African disco and soul cuts Amir highlights on his disc are Americanized by style but inherently authentic in feel, demonstrating the very best of the region’s dance music from the period following Fela Kuti’s mid-70s creative peak. Some standouts: Tee Mac’s 1980’s insistently catchy ‘Living Everyday’; Effi Duke’s percussive masterpiece ‘The Time Is Come’; and Christy Essien’s glorious ‘You Can’t Change’, which features famed bandleader Geraldo Pino’s Show Train outfit. Also in the mix are a couple of cuts from unsung Nigerian star Dizzy K. Falola aimed at sophisticated dancefloors."- Mixcloud
