Endless Summer Jam: live DJ set for the breakers and dancers
It's not the first time I've recorded a DJ set with the wrong settings 😪. But the results are just as fun to listen to as the DJ Notoya all-Japanese vinyl set I posted a few years ago: "I’ve been a little reluctant to post the recording online. Mainly because the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. But I’ve been listening to it a lot lately and I’ve come to think that it’s worth sharing. When paired with Hiko’s photos, Notoya’s iPhone recording transports the listener to this space." excerpt from That Tokyo Melody: DJ Notoya at Soul...

This was just a small slice of the annual Pow! Wow! Hawai‘i, which kicks off every year with a massive block party coinciding with Honolulu Night Market.

Recap: Soul Time in Brooklyn (AGS in New York)
Events Recap Soul Time in Hawaii
The last time I went to New York was roughly 2005, it was for a family vacation with my grandparents and older brother. We stayed in Manhattan, saw a show on Broadway, drank some Manhattans in the hotel lobby bar. We spent all of our time together, with the exception of one afternoon when my family wanted to see David Letterman live, so I decided to go check out FatBeats. I was actively collecting records and making my own beats back then. This was a time before smartphones were everywhere. Asking the front desk for directions to the FatBeats store...
