A Dj. since 93. A producer since 98. A true student of the music/culture. Amir founded Vanguard Sound in February 2006. After making his presence felt in the Chicago club scene via a meteoric rise culminating a Dj watch feature in Chicago’s 5 magazine, he bacame fed up with all of the hating and pettiness of the Chi Town scene, he completely disappeared and went beneath the underground to focus solely on advancing his production skills to circumvent the local Dj rat race.

After linking up with G. Marcell and Hakim Murphy he began to release underground tracks that have been charted and played by underground Dj’s world wide. His fourth release was the sleeper classic “Experience ep” a 4 tracker with Amir on side a, and G. Marcell on side b.

Encouraged by the feedback, Amir the submitted tracks to and was signed to New York city’s Plan B Recordings. The Sonic Subversion ep was a digital 4 tracker that has been a good look for both Amir and the label.

Seeking to advance the music and help sustain the culture, Amir has opened up shop amidst the palm trees and sandy beaches of Melbourne, Florida to join forces with Mr. Chris Mitchell (Heatmerchantz, Tampa, Fl). Together they plan to launch and run the Vanguard Sound record label later this fall.

Recording under the name Amir Alexander and the pseudonym Guerrilla Soul! this cat strives to bring a raw and gritty modern spin on classic Detroit, Chicago, and New York underground sounds;

Peace.
