Start the new year off sonically with a survey of all that is good with spacey, bass-y beats of all shapes and sizes by Vinyl Appreciation co-founder DJ Classy Individual. Follow the link for the download + tracklist.
Just in time for the holidays, here’s 43 minutes of far out musical selections from the Vinyl Appreciation gathering in October. There are some real gems. You can download the set here.
Vinyl Appreciation starts back up on the last Sunday in January 2012. Happy New Year.
Could it be the last Vinyl Appreciation? We’ve dusted off the crates for 18 consecutive months, serving up all sorts of music magic on the last Sunday, but the times they might be a changing. If you haven’t come and checked out all the action, the time is now. October 30, 5-10 p.m. at Muse Arts Warehouse. DJs and record collectors will carefully curate sets of their favorites, with no genre off limits.
The Houston DJ who taught the world the awesomeness of “chopped and screwed” had his records donated to the University of Houston by his father. I was surprised that he only had about 1,000 records, but the collection includes some rare TX and West Coast material. It’ll be part of a public exhibit opening soon, and available for your Screw related thesis research starting in 2013.
This is an autochrome from 1910. I like the kid with her face in the victrola horn. The turn of the 20th century seems like an impossibly simple time considering it was only 100 years prior. (via Vintage Everyday)
Trailer for a documentary about Ear-X-Tacy, a great record store in Louisville, KY. Looks like an interesting film. If you buy records or have ever loved a record store, it will definitely resonate.
The newest installment in the “Tasty Morsels” series aka the Best of Vinyl Appreciation…Here’s a 70 minute block from the August 2011 installment of Vinyl Appreciation, featuring sets by KZL, Classy Individual, Ray B., and Britt V. There’s some classic rock, some deep psych, some middle eastern funk and plenty of serious grooves.
The last Sunday of the month is nearly upon us. Time once again to gather in the dark, air conditioned recesses of the Muse Arts Warehouse and enjoy the strange and wonderful musical selections of DJs and record collectors under no obligation to make anyone dance.
