I Love Vinyl : On The B-Side

I Love Vinyl was founded by NYC-based dj/producer Scribe in 2009, with a Dream Team of resident romantics. Together with Wax Poetics, Turntable Lab, Halcyon, and Fusicology, they present this all-vinyl oasis on 4th Saturdays at the Gallery at LPR (Le Poisson Rouge) and 2nd Saturdays in Brooklyn. I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side is the Brooklyn extension of the franchise, which started life at Brooklyn Bowl in 2010, was transplanted to Southpaw in 2011 until the venue's closing in 2012, and is now sowing its wild Brooklyn oats before settling down again.

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. Let's go!
