Wow, what a night! The launch of The Record Player kicked off with a bang with the year 1979. It couldn’t have been any better, the crowd was ace, the music was quite simply amazing, and it got so busy we had to shut the doors with more people still wanting to get in, so sorry to anyone left outside.
But its time for another spin of record and to look back with fond memories of..... 1990. As you should now know, The Record Player has a simple premise, it’s a night devoted to the sheer thrill of music. Each month we journey through time and pick a year to play music from – 1954, 1968, 1982...we could land anywhere. This is our opportunity to hunt through our music collections and really immerse ourselves in an era- a chance to dance about to the songs we might not have been old enough to enjoy the first time round! Taking place once a month at Shoreditch’s hottest new venue, Concrete.
Overseen by 4 dedicated crate diggers, Gerard Phillips, Becky Hoghton, Rob Lewis and Simon Allen (more recently know for their successful White Wedding nights), The Record Player is a night for music lovers with more than a touch of geekery involved. From beloved anthems to forgotten treasures we play the tunes that celebrate the musical journey of each year regardless of genre or chart position. It’s not about the gimmicks; it’s just a club night for people who think that some old records are so good they make you glad to be alive.
So 1990 is the year and what a year that was.... Think Happy Mondays, The KLF, Betty Boo, Primal Scream, New Order, EMF, Snap, Adamski, St Etienne, The Charlatans, Soul 2 Soul....the list goes on.
But we need your help – we want your hints, tips and recommendations. Visit us online at http://the-record-player.tumblr.com/ to find out the highs and lows of 1990 and to study the form for the all-important Record Player Top 20 Vote. Following the ballot, the final hour of the night will countdown your favourite songs of the year from 20 to 1. Make your vote count!!
The Record Player - we solemnly swear to never knowingly play the same record twice (unless it was a re-release in a different year and its just that good!)
