Skeme Richards - New Library Sounds - Release Party Recap

Saturday, July 15, 2017 down at Brewerytown Beats we had a release party for Skeme Richards latest mixpate, New Library Sounds on Record Breakin' Music. It is an ALL VINYL 60 minute mix of new sound library vibes. Limited Edition cassette only 200 copies. 

"My latest project, New Library Sounds is a collection of works from many of today’s artists who are creating cinematic masterpieces without a script or featured actors but doing so by imagination and what feels right. What you are about to hear is just that, a cinematic expression that feels as though it should be a score to a film, one that’s filled with action and adventure, love and drama, hope and despair yet genre less at the same time. It’s a journey into the unknown but charting into familiar territory that places you in the center screen."

Record shopping in paradise: Hawaiian vinyl culture

Last summer, I had the pleasure to hang out with Roger Bong of Aloha Got Soul while I was in Honolulu, Hawaii. Besides becoming a good friend he also is a connoisseur of Hawaiian soul records. He goes above and beyond in keeping the culture and scene alive and well. Take a look as he introduces us to the vinyl culture in Hawaii and five of his favorite Hawaiian soul records.
