About

- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -

Detroit’s Strata Records only released nine albums through its short history, but despite its slim catalogue, the enigmatic label’s output has become coveted by collectors around the world. Luckily, these priceless rarities have also recently been reissued by BBE, who have not only galvanised Strata’s cult following, but also introduced the imprint to a wide swathe of jazz lovers around the world.

In service of that, BBE asked 180 Proof Records founder DJ Amir to assemble 23 essential tracks from Strata’s archives to tell the label’s story. From the cosmic depths of Kenny Cox’s “Beyond The Dream” to the soulful grooves of Sam Sanders’ “Face At My Window” - this careful selection is a perfect gateway to Strata’s legacy. - The Analog Vault

DJ Amir: "I carefully selected my top-choice select tracks that have not been already bootlegged or comp’d in the past; from the well-known fan favourites, to the obscure, to the previously unreleased cuts. This is by no means an exhaustive and comprehensive compilation, but these are the songs that truly represent the catalog and help to tell the story of Strata." — (via Bandcamp)
