In celebration of Dj Kon and Amir's highly anticipated upcoming release, "off track vol. 1 - Bronx", this post will pay tribute to their rarer masterpieces.




" We wanted

to come with nothing but good music

from beginning to end."



Christian Kon Taylor and Amir Abdullah are two of the worlds most respected crate diggers. Their On Track tapes and Kings of Diggin' are the definitive compilations of their kind. Collecting wax since the tender age of 5, Kon is an established DJ, producer and engineer, while Amir, a vinyl addict since 1986, DJs and is Sales Manager at ABB Records.
The duo met in 1996, shopping for breaks at Bostons Biscuithead Records. Months later they recorded their first On Track mixtape on a Fisher Price tape deck, and the lessons began. Their record knowledge, as well as their digging services have been sought after by the most respected names in the game, including Shady Records, Diamond, Pete Rock and Lord Finesse. According to Finesse, Kon and Amir are two of the most extraordinary but underrated beat diggers in the game. To that end, in 2004, Kon and Amir opened On Track Productions, Inc. which offers their digging services to beatmakers and producers in need of the rarest pieces of wax. The Beantown duo has made a name for them selves by consistently reintroducing the masses the music of the past. As Amir puts it, I want those who appreciate good music to become fans. Kon and Amir are educators, giving their listeners a crash course in dusty groove 101, seamlessly blending loops and breaks that, in the words of Stones Throw Records Egon Alapatt, have left more than a few crate diggers scratching their heads, saying Now what that fuck was that?! Its not just the music I love, says Kon. But music other people need to be put up on. By spanning decades of yesteryears gems, Kon and Amir give their listeners a real perspective on the history of the art.

Kon & Amir - The best of Ontrack Vol 1-6

Known as one of the best crate digging series, this is a compilation of best cuts from volumes 1-6









Found this next gem in our collection: Kon & Amir: Pop in Trans Europe Express. This mixtape by Kon & Amir contains dozens of obscure fragments of European to-be releases. It has a heavy, groovy funk feel similar to their "on track" series.
