  • THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM COLLECTION SHOW

    whitealbum_show

    By Eilon Paz – Dust & Grooves

    Rutherford has a unique vinyl collection. He only collects the Beatles first pressing of The White Album.
    I met him in Recess gallery where he exhibits his collection.
    In this show Chang is creating a record store that stocks only White Albums. But rather than selling the albums, he buys more from anyone willing to part with an original pressing in any condition.

    Q: Tell me a bit about yourself. who are you? where did you grow up?

    A: I’m an artist living in New York. I grew up in California.

    Q: Did you grow up in a house of Beatles fans? When did you first hear about the Beatles? and about the white album?

    A: My parents are from Taiwan and didn’t listen to the Beatles, so I didn’t grow up with the music. I bought my first White Album at a garage sale in Palo Alto for $1 when I was 15 years old.

    Q: So how did you get familiar with the Beatles?

    A: They are the biggest band.

    Q: Tell me about your current exhibition “We Buy White Albums”.

    A: My collection of White Albums is on display at Recess, a storefront art space in SoHo. It’s set up like a record store with the albums arranged in bins by serial number, and visitors are invited to browse and listen to the records. Except, rather than sell the albums, I am buying more. I currently have 693 copies. [Read More]

  • SCOTT GROOVES NEW RELEASE BITTER SWEET

    New Raw Detroit Soulful Vibes from Scott Grooves (Modified Suede).

    A2.Bitter Sweet
    B1.C Track

    This is Wild Oats Music first distribution project, one of few to come for 2013. There is so much quality electronic music being created in the city of Detroit and not all of it can fit into the release schedule of a single label. The Idea is to press up great records from people on the same wavelength and that share a similar artistic mindset. At the same time allow the artists to put something out that is 100% their own but with support of a kindred hand–Kyle Hall’s Wild Oats Record Distribution.

  • PEOPLE BEHIND THE SOUND OF VINYL

    For the record from NEKTAR on Vimeo.

    A expedition undertaken to discover, learn, meet and document the ideas and people behind the controls of vinyl record production.
    Recorded over 6 weeks, travelling through Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the UK – For The Record exposes a number of notions about why vinyl is such an indelible medium and how it continues to remain popular in the the face of opposing format change.
    Special thanks to all the people who helped and collaborated on this documentary.
    Additional thanks to Creative New Zealand, for support funding.

  • RON MORELLI (L.I.E.S. / A-1 RECORD SHOP)

    LIES_Bunner
    By ANTHONY PAPPALARDO – The Local East Village NY Times

    Since 1996, A-1 Records on Sixth Street has attracted countless vinyl enthusiasts to its bins of hip-hop, jazz, soul, disco, and house music. On any given afternoon, disc diggers discuss what white-label 12-inches they’re going to DJ, tossing out obscure names that are foreign even to the other die-hards flipping through the stacks.

    Ron Morelli, one of the four employees at A-1, has seen dramatic changes in the city’s electronic music scene during his ten years of spinning vinyl. The DJ, whose discovery of punk and hardcore started him on his journey into underground music and culture, started the DIY dance music label, Long Island Electrical Systems, in 2009 to showcase gritty, analog-based techno and house. He’s also used L.I.E.S. as a vehicle to release his own music (along with co-conspirators Jason Letkiewicz and Steve Summers) under the moniker Two Dogs In a House.

    The small-run 12” records that Mr. Morelli releases (many of which feature hand-stamped track listings on the dust jacket) feel intimate: it’s clear they’ve been lovingly assembled by hand. Early releases by Steve Moore and Professor Genius started the buzz that has collectors rushing to buy the releases before they hitDiscogs for quadruple their initial price.

    Despite the sold-out events Mr. Morelli DJs in New York and Brooklyn and the label’s success in Europe, there’s a low-key presence to L.I.E.S. Rather than a lavish release party, L.I.E.S. artist Professor Genius first spun his latest 12″,“Hassan,” at Heathers Bar on a Thursday night. Recently, Mr. Morelli shared his thoughts on the changing face of New York’s electronic music scene and the state of record stores.
