Doin it in the park...

Big ups to I Love Vinyl resident OP! and the whole OkayAfrica team for the highly successful event last Sunday (people were risking arrest to jump the fence after the cops shut down the entrance with 15,000+ people already inside!) featuring incredible performances by The Roots (feat. Talib Kweli) and relative newcomer Blitz the Ambassador. Just back from South Africa, armed with some Africa-hot new joints, OP! did his thing, indeed; keeping folks on their feet, dancing, in the pouring rain.

At the end of the show, when OP! got back on the decks, we were all treated to a surprise (OP! included) when Nice & Smooth jumped on stage. OP! pulled out Hip-Hop Junkies and DWYCK instrumentals, and the rest is history (caught on video for posterity, below).

I Love Vinyl returns to Brooklyn!



















Is Brooklyn in the house? (Hell yeah) If you missed the first edition of I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side at Brooklyn Bowl, it was epic. See above (photo courtesy of Clay Williams). Let's do it again... Brooklyn stand up!

I Love Vinyl turns 1!




































This month marks one beautiful year of I Love Vinyl parties at The Gallery Bar at (le) Poisson Rouge. We want to thank everybody who has been involved in making that possible, most importantly, you, the fans, dancers, wallflowers, trainspotters, party starters, schmoozers, listeners, clappers, cheerers, and even the haters who got mad when we explained that we would not play lady gaga, even if you provided it on a 180 gram virgin vinyl picturedisc, but stayed and danced anyway. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the gift of being able to do something that makes us happy, fulfilled, and inspired. It is a rare gift in these times. We love vinyl. But we love you more. Thank you! Looking forward to another amazing year, and to our anniversary party. Hope you can come celebrate with us!!

In addition to the usual suspects, we will have the irrepressible, irresistible, iridescent Miss Kissey Asplund on hostessing duties, firing up the party, Swedish-style.

(please take note of the change in the cover charge structure so you don't get caught out there... we wouldn't want that)
