Because of you, I’ve reached and passed my GoFundMe goal, raising €5,115 🙏🏾❤️

Asking for help was difficult. The generosity, kindness, and encouragement you’ve shown me have meant more than I can put into words. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, or reached out with support and work opportunities.

These funds will help me secure housing, move my belongings, and cover essential bills. After everything I’ve been through, this gives me some breathing room and a chance to rebuild.

The original goal has been met. I’ll leave the campaign open for anyone who still wishes to contribute, with any additional funds going toward essential living expenses and outstanding obligations as I get settled. LINK IN BIO

I’m also still seeking DJ bookings, talks, listening sessions, curation, radio, and archival work. Your connections and opportunities will help me keep moving forward.

From my heart, thank you. You’ve made a real difference in my life.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
My people please take a moment and read this and see if you can help by donating a good brother in need. Sharing this post would also help out to reach his goal. I been knowing Amir for 30 years and he a good soul with deep love for music and the culture that means so much to us. He went really through a lot the last 1.5 years, next to life challenges we all face sometimes. Good friends and family do what they can do to help him. It’s difficult to tell a friend to stay strong when you see the man is on the brink to fully break. So now he did what he tried to avoid and ask for financial help. He really needs to manoeuvre through this and move forward with a positive mindset again. He could only share so much in his posts and believe me there was so much more. He did accomplish a lot on his on. Let’s all give him a boost to move on and steer into a new direction. I want him to keep his dignity intact and ask you to uplift a brother. So he can heal from these experiences and get out this stronger then before.

One. Always ❤️🙏🏾❤️‍🩹💪🏾💯👑

Asking for help again is difficult, but I want to be honest about where I am and what I need.

After I shared my experience in Bahrain, so many people responded with kindness and asked how they could help. That support gave me the courage to create this campaign.

Months without pay, housing uncertainty, and struggling to afford basic necessities took a serious emotional and physical toll. I lost weight and lived under constant stress. Leaving Bahrain didn’t erase that trauma or its financial consequences. I’m still working to regain stability and a sense of security.

I’ve done everything I can to keep myself afloat, including selling many records and rare posters from my personal collection that has been difficult, but I needed to cover everyday expenses. DJ bookings are coming in, and I’m pursuing more work, but despite these efforts, I can’t cover my immediate needs on my own.

I have to move by the end of October, and I’m raising €4,250 to help cover:

* €1,500 toward securing housing
* €750 to move my belongings
* €2,000 for outstanding bills and essential financial obligations

This support would help me secure a home, address overdue obligations, and continue rebuilding.

Some of you may remember supporting a similar fundraiser five and a half years ago, during the early years of the pandemic, to help me move and get back on my feet. I remain deeply grateful, and I don’t take asking again lightly. I’ve continued working and building my career, but my experience in Bahrain has brought me to another difficult point.

For over 30 years, I’ve dedicated my life to music, as a DJ, historian, curator, educator, and founder of 180 Proof Records. As a thank-you, I’d love to create an exclusive DJ Amir mixtape especially for those supporting this campaign, made with care and gratitude.

I'm also open to work opportunities: DJ bookings, lectures, talks, listening sessions, curation, radio, archival projects, cultural programming, and grants.

I know times are hard for many people. If you’re unable to contribute, sharing this campaign or connecting me with work would also mean a great deal.

LINK IN BIO! Thank you!!
I want to thank everyone who read, shared and responded to my last post. I’ve been moved by the support. You don’t know how much of a weight was lifted off me by sharing this story.

A number of people asked how they can help. The most useful thing right now is a connection to paid work. I’m available for DJ bookings, talks and listening sessions, music and archival curation, radio, and cultural programming.

If you book artists, work with a venue, festival, school or cultural organization, or know someone who does, I’d appreciate an introduction. You can DM me, and you’ll find my work linked in my bio.

Thank you for helping me keep moving forward.

I’ve spent a year wondering whether to tell this story. Today I’ve decided it’s time. I’m sharing it with my people around the world as I pick up the pieces, rebuild my life and keep moving forward.

In July 2024, I left Berlin for Bahrain to be the Resident DJ and Talent Booker at a new vinyl venue. My contract covered salary, housing and travel. I turned down other opportunities and spent everything to relocate. The opening was repeatedly delayed, and I went months without pay.

The venue hadn’t opened, but I was ready to work. Under Bahrain’s labor law, the delay alone didn’t erase my right to be paid.

I had to keep asking the owners for money just to get by. It felt like I was begging. Then I was told to pay it back, though that wasn’t in my contract. I had to stay with one of the owners until I was asked to move out. I was told the move would be covered. Those costs were deducted when wages finally came. I barely had enough for food and water and I lost a lot of weight.

I wasn’t asking for charity. I wanted my contract honored. I took my case to Bahrain’s Ministry of Labor and then to court. I submitted evidence and won, but was awarded a minuscule fraction of what I was actually owed. The judgement speaks for itself, but it can’t capture what I went through.

When I left Bahrain with 10 suitcases, I cried as we crossed its airspace. I felt I’d lost 14 months of my life, my sanity, and, for a while, my faith in people.

I’m still here, doing my damn best to rebuild. Since returning, I’ve kept working, from BBE Music’s 30th anniversary to spinning The Black Keys after shows. I’m proud of that, but I need more opportunities to get back on my feet.

For nearly three decades, music has been my life, from Fat Beats and Kon & Amir to 180 Proof Records and Strata Records.

I don’t want anyone else to go through this. And if you know of opportunities for grants, DJ bookings, lectures, curation, radio, cultural programming or archival work, please keep me in mind. My work is linked in my bio.

I can’t change what happened. I can only keep building what comes next. I’ve spent my career preserving other people’s stories. Now it’s time to tell my own.
So, I’m planning on another tour back home in the States from November 5th - 23rd, and I have a couple of gaps to fill.

Please DM me if interested in booking me!

After the incredible response to our KON episode, we’re going back into the Gems with Shom archives for one of our earliest conversations — with DJ Amir the other half of the legendary KON & Amir.

We get into the On Track series and the rare soul, funk, jazz, and original sample sources that helped inspire a generation of beat diggers.

Amir also gets into Kings of Diggin’ with DJ Muro, working at Fat Beats and Wax Poetics, digging from Japan to Berlin, J Dilla, 180 Proof Records, and reviving the incredible Detroit jazz catalog of Strata Records.

From rare samples to Detroit jazz, this is a lifetime of digging, discovery, and preserving music.

If you came to Gems with Shom through KON don’t miss Amir’s side of the story.
