Peace family,
We're pleased to share that we'll be opening for one of our favorite bands, critically acclaimed soul group KING, this Saturday night at U Street Music Hall. Tickets are available here.
The trio has been celebrated by the likes of Prince, ?uestlove and NPR; Ebony Magazine has called them "the next soul outfit to rock the crown." Indeed, they've been an inspiration to us since they first made waves in 2011, and we're thrilled to be sharing the stage with them.
We've prepared some new tunes for the set, and we'll be joined onstage by our frequent collaborator and special guest Vaughan Octavia on the strings. For a taste of the new live set, check out the Soul Bounce review of our recent NYC showcase.
See you Saturday.

The festival will also feature a special screening of Yelling To The Sky, followed by a Q&A with actors Yolanda Rossand Black Thought as well as Zakee Kuduro – the man behind the film’s dynamic score.

“Dust & Grooves began as a labor of love but has become a worldwide phenomenon. Paz has gained access to the personal troves of well-known collectors from all over the globe, showcasing each collector as well as his or her collections.” – ABC News
Eilon Paz’s 416-page coffee-table book illuminates over 130 vinyl connoisseurs and their collections in the most intimate of environments— their record rooms. With a foreword by the RZA, compelling photographic essays are paired with in-depth interviews to illustrate what motivates record collectors to keep digging.
Readers get an up close and personal look at a variety of well-known vinyl champions as well as a glimpse into the collections of world-renowned and lesser-known DJs, producers, record dealers, and everyday enthusiasts. The book is divided into two main parts: the first features 250 full-page photos framed by captions and select quotes, while the second consists of 12 full-length interviews that delve deeper into collectors’ personal histories and vinyl troves.
It all started out several years ago as nothing more than a way for photographer Paz to engage in a personal project in his free time. Adrift in Brooklyn after emigrating from Israel, Paz—a record collector on the side—thought it might be fun to start taking photos of people whose record collections were both larger and weirder than his own. These portraits turned into the Dust & Grooves website, which quickly developed a global following that grew every time a new portrait was added to the mix. People all over the world seemed to dig not only the beauty of Eilon’s photos, but the interviews with the collectors—a motley, if generally charming, crew of non-violent obsessives who turned out to be at least as intriguing as the records they collected.
Unearthing the very soul of the vinyl community, his book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers, from die-hard record enthusiasts to fans of pop culture, sharp photography, and music history.
