2022 release. How does the Berlin-based production collective Jazzanova find itself reimagining songs from the iconic, Detroit record label Strata? "I couldn't think of a more perfect band to do this work," DJ Amir says about Jazzanova, a combination of DJs, record collectors and musicians, "because they brought passion and love to the project, because they know the music and love the music. And on top of that, they know how to play." This unlikely, yet ideal pairing is the result of years of work and passion from Amir Abdullah, the crate-digging, DJ and label- head for 180-Proof Records which in 2011 began reissuing the groundbreaking Strata Records back catalog and unreleased gems from the vaults. On Strata Records - The Sound of Detroit - Reimagined by Jazzanova, DJ Amir and Jazzanova breathe new life into eleven hand-picked tracks from the Strata catalog for fans of the label's historic recordings and new ears alike.
