DJ Amir was keen to give Strata Records&#8217; founder a prominent place on the album: &#8220;<em>I thought it would be appropriate to start the compilation with one of my favorite tracks from the catalog, Kenny Cox&#8217;s \u2018Beyond the Dream,\u2019 a spiritual groove, enhanced by the haunting mellotron layers and melancholy vocals of Detroit legend Ursula Walker. And I love the ending, with the singing of \u2018Vamonos Que Ya Fiesta Se Acabo\u2019 (\u2018It&#8217;s time to leave because the party is coming to an end\u2019)!<\/em>&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><div><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=31705052\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/180proofrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/dj-amir-presents-strata-recordsthe-sound-of-detroit-volume-1\">DJ Amir Presents \u2018Strata RecordsThe Sound of Detroit\u2019 Volume 1 by Various Artists<\/a><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Active until 1975, the label may have released less than ten albums, but they are all highly sought after. DJ Amir explains the process of the compilation: &#8220;<em>I carefully selected my favorite tracks that have not been pirated or compiled in the past, whether they are fan favorites, obscure tracks or unreleased tracks. It&#8217;s by no means a complete and comprehensive compilation, but these are the songs that really represent the catalog and help tell the Strata story.<\/em>&#8221; On it, we find various artists, such as Charles Mingus, Larry Nozero, saxophonist who worked with Marvin Gaye, Maulawi Nururidin and Soulmates. The track &#8220;All But Blind&#8221; from Mixed Bag, featuring Ursula Walker, is already available for listening.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-order <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbemusic.com\/downloads\/dj-amir-presents-strata-recordsthe-sound-of-detroit-volume-1\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Strata Records The Sound Of Detroit &#8211; Volume 1<\/em><\/a> before May 25, 2021, via <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbemusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BBE Music<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Mixed Bag and Ursula Walker in our Songs of the Week playlist on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2Pz0eyg\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/30zVbUA\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir.jpg 700w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/bacb6ea7-dj-amir-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strata Records The Sound Of Detroit &#8211; Volume 1 highlights the greatest products of the Michigan jazz label.
