next months Audiotonic on Saturday May 28th, bringing you another Manchester debut from one of the rising stars of house - represeting Classic Records & Robsoul Recordings, we bring you the superb Amir Javasoul.
If you don't know Amir's name yet, you soon will. Resident @ the Robsoul parties in Toronto, Redlight in Paris & the Classic parties thrown both in Paris & Toronto, as well as recently playing at the Ministry Of Sound 13th birthday alongside Derrick Carter & Honey Dijon in the main room, Amir is on the same books as DLC, Honey & some of the biggest US house DJs & we're bringing him to you first - here's his biog ---
2001 was the year that saw Amir make the move across the ocean, to Paris, France, where he resides at the moment. Bringing Chicago to Paris, his Classic Records parties (with DelaHouse) were truly a success. He, alongside Luke Solomon and Rob Mello gave an unforgettable performance still talked about. Mingling with local heroes, Amir has played alongside artists such as Laurent Garnier, Djulz, Phil Weeks, David Duriez, Cisco, Dan Gennacia, Jef K, Ivan Smagghe, Sam Karlson, etc... In Early 2002 He also held a short residency at Folies Pigale, where he was able to invite more of his Classic/Music For Freaks partners in sharing the decks with Justin Harris of the fame Freaks, Diz, Tiefshwartz, Heather and Ewan Pearson. The Mid 2002-2003 span was a very fruitful year for Amir and the city of Paris. He held a one year residency at two of the main clubs in the Paris circuit (Studio 287 and Queen Club), along with being in charge of booking international DJs of real calibre as guests. Who could forget June 19th 2002, when thanks to Amir, we witnessed the return of Derrick Carter to France, after a 4+ years absence.
This sparked the debut of the now infamous "ClubWorld" nights at Queen Club. The guests during this 12 month residency included: Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Onionz, Rob Mello, Satoshi Tomiie, Phil Weeks, Fafa Monteco, Steve Bug, Kenny Hawkes and Armand Van Helden.
Collaborating with the many artists mentioned above, one in particular stands out. "So this guy came to see me play one night, on the Concorde Boat. He was like "hey! I love this record! No one plays this stuff here except me. It's cool to hear someone else being into this kinda stuff. "The record was an old Brett Johnson on Seasons and the guy in question was Phil Weeks. "We've been friends ever since". Phil owns and runs Robsoul Recordings, one of the most respected and successful underground house labels today. Phil and Amir's friendship and collaboration has taken them to some of the best clubs and cities in the world where they are able to represent the sound they have come to cherish through the years.
Amir has a promising career ahead both as a DJ and as a recording artist. "2005 will definitely see me spend a lot of time in the studio." "It's definitely the logical step ahead for me". "But one thing's for sure. DJing will always take priority. It's in me and I can't let it go. Me and Phil just started a monthly Robsoul residency at BOA nightclub, one of the best clubs in Canada. Really excited about the possibilities of that one. I also have my Classic Records residency at Redlight, in Paris and a wicked Sunday night monthly "Sessions" party with my friend and colleague Sam Karlson There's a new mix compilation in the works for Robsoul, a new label, and a whole lot of record playing around the globe.
