I Love Vinyl was founded by NYC-based dj/producer Scribe in 2009, with a Dream Team of resident romantics. Together with Wax Poetics, Halcyon, and Fusicology, they present this all-vinyl oasis on 4th Saturdays at the Gallery at LPR (Le Poisson Rouge) and 2nd Saturdays at Southpaw. I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side is the Brooklyn extension of the franchise, which kicked off with a huge party at Brooklyn Bowl in 2010, and moved to Southpaw in 2011.
With over 100 years of spinning, and over 100,000 records between them, all-stars Ge-Ology, Amir (Kon & Amir), The Twilite Tone (Great Weekend), OP! (Decon), Jon Oliver (The Main Ingredient/EVR) and Scribe comprise the Dream Team. The sounds are mind-wide, foot-friendly, and snap crackle popping, which means that genre, time period, and recognizability take a back seat to quality, taste, and skill here, in the tradition of the innovators of the Art of Moving Butts. You might hear some Soul, Disco, Dilla, Boogie, Hustle, Hip-Hop, House, Techno, No Wave, New Jack Swing, Dancefloor Jazz, Latin, Funk, Electro, Punk/Funk or Afrobeat. Whatever you hear, it will be weaved into a cohesively funky, and irresistibly danceable, revolutionary sonic manifesto. Calling all compatriot lovers and fighters... Rise up!
