#NowSpinning Mike D – Thank You (2026). It’s been a while, but what better way to spend #HipHopSaturday than spinning a record, even if it’s not pure hip-hop. His first solo album with familiar roots, but clearly his own direction. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #musicsky

I think every collector knows this problem: the collection no longer fits in the space originally meant for it. So today, it’s time to reorganize. How do you sort your collection? My approach is genre first, then alphabetical. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #musicsky

#NowSpinning Jazzanova – In Between (2002). A debut album blending breakbeat, hip-hop, soul, and jazz that has aged remarkably well. Not a club record, more one for the living room, and one I always enjoy returning to. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #musicsky

#NowSpinning Curtis Harding – Face Your Fear (2017). For me, there’s only one Curtis in soul. Maybe this Curtis was even named after him. Either way, his warm grooves and vintage influences sounds classic with an fresh approach. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #musicsky
