287vinyl
Started by three friends and bandmates Steven Schlosberg, Sara Gorman, and Ben Kenvin, 287vinyl was started out of the dorm room of Steven and Ben. An homage to disc jockeys of the 60s and 70s and preserved and inspired by chicano soul/lowrider oldies vinyl djs and greats of East LA, the three share a love of the physical and meaning in the music they keep. All musicians themselves, their combined collection influences the music they make and for certain albums, the physicality of memories. With additions passed down from family members, hidden gems found in the bottom boxes of record stores, and borrowed from friends, the collective shares a passion for the analog sound and making people dance. While the collection is always expanding, current genres include downtempo souldies, doo wopp, R&B, motown, gospel, blues, retro soul, neo soul, deep funk, jazz, west coast hip hop, rap, ska, rocksteady, reggae, afrobeat, disco, mambo, salsa, cumbia, tropicalia, samba, bossa nova, latin, soft rock, psychedelic surf rock, Habibi funk, Somalian disco, Egyptian pop, Ethiopian jazz, Taiwanese rare groove, world, good tunes, good tunes, good tunes.
