Vinyl is the future, don't miss out

Written by Mike Walbert | Sep 16
Vinyl has been on the rise for awhile and is showing now signs of slowing. Hip-Hop started with vinyl records, and the future looks like vinyl as well. We've partnered with our friends at Vinyl Me, Please to host a workshop at the A3C Conference on Wed, Oct 4th.
 
For a genre built on two turntables and a microphone, rap & hip hop has been the slowest to re-embrace vinyl as a format in the midst of its massive resurgence. Learn how vinyl is complementing streaming as the future of music consumption, a must-have product in the tour merch mix & the best way for superfans to display love for their favorite artists.

The A3C Conference provides a great opportunity to network with the music makers, entrepreneurs and tastemakers that shape hip-hop music and culture. There are hundreds speakers and events at the Conference, and we highly recommend exploring the schedule when you have a few minutes.

Vinyl Me, Please is a record of the month club. The best damn record club out there, in fact.

Our mission is help people explore, experience, and enjoy music on a deeper level. A tall order, maybe, but it’s what gets us out of bed every morning with a thunderous shout. We do that both by sending you great music every month and by making sure you have a ton of fun each step of the way. Music is important, and so are you, and we work our asses off to make sure we do good by both.

We believe in the power of the album as an art form. That music is a form of connection. That an album isn’t just something you own, but something that becomes a part of you. And we offer a full sensory experience that encourages you to deeply connect with the music you’re listening to. Vinyl is a tangible representation of the music you love, and brings with it a ritual you shouldn’t live without. What you listen to and how you listen to it matters. It ends up being an essential part of who you are.
