VIDEO: The Archive by Sean Dunn /// SAVE PAUL MAWHINNEY'S VINYL!

Records. Analog Sound. Vinyl. Wax. 45's. 78's. 33 1/3. So much music, so many amazing artists...This documentary is jaw-dropping and kinda sad if you're a vinyl junkie like me. I remember DJing on WZRD Chicago 88.3fm for years and always dipping into their record collection for each show. They have over 17,000 albums and a couple thousand 45's, but Paul Mawhinney's collection in this vimeo is phenomenal. He has the World's Largest Collection of Records. Yes. World Record. Oddly enough, both myself and The Livewire begin a strictly vinly night at The Abbey (3420 W. Grace St.) on Wednesday, September 29th. If you're interested in getting some of your wax tracks on the 1's & 2's, email danny.livewire@gmail.com & you can view the event page on Facebook here: SEX WAX - VINTAGE VINYL NITE at The Abbey Enjoy the film!

VIDEO: VALEU - Celebrating 5 Years of Man Recordings

"Valeu" is the Portugese for 'Cool'/'Big Up' and also an expression of 'Thanks', and Man Recordings deserves the same right back at 'em. Their 50th release on the label celebrates 5 years of incredible music from Brazil, Europe, Japan, and remixes from artists the world over. Check out this video for their new compilation featuring Edu K and Ku Bo, Isa GT and Schlachthofbronx, Funk Mundial "conspirators" Crookers and Seiji - and of course a track from Daniel Haaksman himself - Valeu is a "2010 update of the Man Recs sound."
