Seriously fuck vinyl!

Haha. Guy must have been absolutely delighted.

They’ve always had DJs, but they’ve definitely ramped it up these last few years. Harri, Justin Robertson, Richard Sen, David Holmes, and DJ Pierre have all played fairly recently.

Interesting read. I always thought these clubs were dumb, mostly making superfluous represses of records that didn’t need them (for the most part). Seems like it’s a losing proposition in the end.

Surprised to see The Holdovers OST on vinyl is like rocking horse cack but it does look like a lovely package!
