If we had DJ Amir in front of us, it is obvious that the social distancies would go off sparkling. Mega hug or one hell of a hand shake would be nice. A gasser who rummages through trunks and ends up putting forward Strata Records, deserves all the respect possible and a frank %22Thank you Sir%22. A short-lived but downright infectious jazz label – 6 years old, Strata was founded by Kenny Cox in Detroit in ’69. The label developed its own studio/GQ/concert hall and became the cradle of a handful of free musicians at the forefront of the musical adventures of the counter-culture. Despite an official discography lighter than a Diet Coke, the Strata vaults shine with a collection of unreleased archives including a %22lost%22 Herbie Hancock LP. One can imagine quite quickly that the label weighs heavily on the jazz game. The insiders know all about it, they get the sauce up and negotiate like Wall Street Wolves for original copies on Discogs. But DJ Amir is an intermediary, not a speculator. %22Music for People%22 is his credo. Thanks to his label 180 Proof he wants to widen the audience. Good for him. And for that, he joined forces with the beautiful BBE label, specialist in deluxe reissues and digging in the style of an accelerated masterclass in musical culture. Selected by Amir himself, the tracklist of 22 tracks is a perfect gateway to the Strata catalog between the much awaited Saturday Night Special by Lyman Woodard, and the unexpected Maiden Voyage taken by Ursula Walker from a certain Herbie. Classy handover.

ENGLISH
Summer is coming and, good news, long evenings to fill. So, soul music is needed. What about that one coming straight from Manchester. Cockney soul? Yes, dear! Soul music delivered by a duo that complements each other like two sides of a penny should do. On the flip side, Tyler Daley sings niceley. On the flip side, Konny Kon raps with a British tongue. Brilliant. And that gives Children of Zeus. Children of gods? Don’t think so. Angels voices? Maybe but not only. That thing is celestial and devilishly multiple. Balance, second album of the tandem, displays 13 tracks in soul, rnb, hip-hop, gospel and funk mode. Co-produced by Beat Butcha known for his work with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, the thing is well done and square as possible. First track, No Love Song, has a rather ironic groove. Apart from the lyrics, the vibe is a serious lover vibe. How not to get in this mood with the smooth as fuck voice of Tyler Daley and the soft and rough rap of Konny Kon. Nice & Sweet, very 90’s R&B, settles on Daley’s intoxicating voice. The production makes you want to prepare a sick date and light up red LEDs in a hot atmosphere. Sorry not sorry. Small surprise and final touch with Sunset who goes to the gospel cherubs. Tyler takes out his high notes and makes the little hearts vibrate. It is soft and rather corny. But it’s nice, it’s sweet and it comes out on June 4th. Just before the summer. f*** Fine.

L’été arrive et, avec elle, les longues soirées à combler. S’impose alors de la soul, histoire de bien profiter. Et pourquoi pas venue droit de Manchester. De la soul cockney ? Mais oui, dear. De la soul livrée par un duo complémentaire comme les deux faces d’un penny en équilibre. Côté de pile, Tyler Daley chantonne facile. Côté de face, Konny Kon rappe avec l’accent british. Brilliant. Et ça donne Children of Zeus. Enfants de dieux ? Je ne crois pas. Voix angéliques ? Il y a de ça, but not only. Angélique mais diablement multiple. Balance, deuxième album du tandem, affiche 13 titres en mode soul, rnb, hip-hop, gospel et funk. Co-produit par Beat Butcha connu pour son taff avec Jay-Z et Beyoncé, le truc est bien fait et carré au possible. First track, No Love Song, a le groove plutôt ironique. Hormis les lyrics, la vibe est grave une vibe de lover. Comment ne pas se caler dans ce mood avec la voix smooth as fuck de Tyler Daley et le rap doux et rough de Konny Kon. Nice & Sweet, très R&B des années 90, se pose sur la voix enivrante de Daley. La prod donnent envie de préparer un date de malade et d’allumer des LEDs rouges ambiance hot. Sorry not sorry. Petite surprise et touche finale avec Sunset qui se barre chez les angelots du gospel. Tyler sort ses high notes et fait vibrer les petits cœurs. C’est soft et assez cucul. Mais c’est nice, c’est sweet et ça sort le 4 juin. Juste avant l’été. Nickel.
