If you like records (or like people who like records), Shakey’s Record Fair is your Mecca! This record fair, held 4-6 times a year on weeknights, takes into consideration that Friday and Sat evenings and weekend mornings – the times when most fairs are held – are the absolute worst times for DJs to go. You’ll find all formats (7″s / 12″s / Albums / whatever) in all types of music (punk, techno, experimental, Latin, club, rap, rock, house, jungle, reggae, etc.). Vendors also sell stuff that relates to music. But this is more than just a fair for buyers; it’s a full-blown party! You’ll find drink specials, soulful live music from Kendra Morris, and DJ sets for notable record collectors, prizes from sponsors Wax Poetics, Turntable Lab, and Dubspot, and rare underground film visuals from Cine Noir Film Society.
