PROPS
55 imagesAkalepse (Truth & Soul) and Rich Medina (Jump N Funk) are obsessed with records and playing them for people. These guys are avid record collectors, each with a heavyweight stash of over 20,000+ records, so of course you're going to hear things you don't know... that is the point. But not the whole point, they play classic tunes right next to obscurities, always pushing the listening audience a little in a sincere effort to break new records and reintroduce slept on tunes simultaneously. The party they do together is called PROPS, it is a soulful music lover's paradise. Here's some pictures from nights at PROPS.
APT, NEW YORK CITY
11 imagesAPT was an incredible place, now it is a legend. I DJed there for 8 years, two nights a week for 6 years. If you have been there you know, if you never went, it's hard to describe in a few words. Anyone opening a venue, look to that model, it was done right. I never took a picture inside the place the whole time. I know a lot of other people did, if you have any, please send them to me and I will put them up in this album.
JONES @ BLACK BETTY, BROOKLYN
4 imagesOnce upon a time on Wednesday nights in Brooklyn.......... I don't even have pictures of the party inside, I never took any. If you do, please email them to me, that would be amazing.
