[In-Person]
Good Vibrations is an open spin vinyl event hosted by Vinyl Social Club focusing on the theme of afrofuturism. Vinyl Social Club is a collective of vinyl collectors and general music lovers who come together to share their love for music, simply put. With this event, we want to pay homage to black musicians, past and present, that have broken down barriers with innovative sounds that have transcended time. Afrofuturism in music is subjective, we want attendees to show us their personal definition or interpretation of afrofuturism with their vinyl selections. We want to create a space where participants feel comfortable with sharing the music they listen to.
EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
I. Vinyl Swap
Guests that attend the event are welcome to bring vinyls that they can swap with others.
II. Open Spin
We encourage participants to come and play a vinyl set. We welcome people who attend to bring their own vinyls to spin, and ask that they focus their set around the idea of afrofuturism, whatever that may mean to them. We will have a sign up sheet at the event (or prior to) for those who would like to spin where they can select a time that best works for them. Ideally we’ll have about 9 selectors with sets of about 20 minutes per person. It does not matter your skill level. Whether you are a beginner or an expert at spinning vinyl, everyone is welcome to spin!
CONCLUSION
Overall this event is meant to connect attendees through music by giving them the opportunity to showcase their love for music and be exposed to various artists who fall into the umbrella of afrofuturism.
