If you like derrick carter and mark farina then this is a dj for you. After touring Europe ,Spain ,Brazil,and thru out Canada and the US Amir has had crowds going ape shit for his endless bootlegs and unreleased house madness. you can check out a set of his on [ www.undergroundhouse.net ] or stay tuned for more info to be released shorty Hers's his long ass bio !!! it's Derrick Carter's now legendary "Atomic" nights, in Ottawa, Canada that gave Amir that initial push and desire to be the DJ he is today. "It's funny; I still remember the exact moment when I had a "moment". 5:30 in the morning, Derrick stopped everything, turned the lights off, silence, and then, Lil louis "I called you". Two hours of mid tempo, obscure old Chicago acid, disco-not-disco followed. Inspired, is an understatement. I always knew music would be an integral part of my life. But I found out on that dance floor that it will now BECOME my life". Since 1995, it's been a long and positive journey. From throwing the first ever rave parties in the small university town of Kingston (where he attended Queen's university) to playing many clubs in his hometown of Montreal, Amir definitely acquired the needed experience and record culture that is the base of his DJing career today. Fast forward to 2001, attending his second Miami Winter Music Conference, Amir was yet again inspired by a legend, when he witnessed DJ HARVEY'S early morning set at the Wax Records party. This had a major influence in the evolution of sound/type of house music Amir is known to play these days, mixing in a blend of funky Chicago house and groovy S.F electro/house. 2001 was also 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 party (with DelaHouse) was 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 caliber 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. At the age of 27, 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. I also spent a few weeks in dubai and played in the region (dubai and Bahrain). Very excited about going back there as I see a lot of potential in that region. There's a new mix compilation in the works for Robsoul, a new label, and a whole lot of record playing around the globe. Selected cities: Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, New York, L.A, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven, London, Sheffield, leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Dumfries, Biaritz, Nice, Marseilles, Munich, Manheim, Frankfurt, Ingloshtad, Vienna, Lisboa, Madrid, Istanbul, Ankara, Tehran, Dubai, Bahrain.
