Happy New Year to all producers, DJ’s, crate diggers, and vinyl enthusiasts! Crate Kings wishes you the best personal and professional success in 2009. May your vinyl collection come to resemble the above pic! Please excuse the brief holiday hiatus… Crate Kings is officially back for 2009!
It’s known that producer 88-Keys is big into this Polo collection, but it’s rumored that his vinyl collection is also pretty strong as well. Here he travels to a Toronto record shop to get his fingers a little dusty and talk about his latest release The Death of Adam.
Iconic producer Q-Tip visits NYC’s Big City Records to peruse the crates, talk about the importance of focusing on music, and A Tribe Called Quest’s musical legacy. [Respect to NFDK]
Damu The Fudgemunk, Amir (Kon & Amir), Budos Band, Wax Poetics Magazine, and various records dealers talk about the beauty of vinyl, record digging, rediscovering music, and busting bank accounts with $6,000 records. There’s also a YouTube version as well.
A quick medley of original A Tribe Called Quest samples featuring Roy Ayers, Billy Brooks, Weldon Irvine, Minnie Riperton, and more.
By no means is this the largest, but it’s certainly one of the most beautiful and organized vinyl collections you’ll be able to find. With space tending to be an issue for collectors, life is definitely good when you can take an aerial view of your stacks and shelves.
