One of my favorite places in the world with one of my favorite people in the world!
Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/slow-to-speak 10 WAYS TO ENSURE US YOU HAVE A BETTER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
1. LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR. NO RETURNS.
(229)
WE DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU DJ, HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE OR WHO WASHES YOUR BALLS OUTSIDE OF HERE - IF YOU ACT LIKE A RE**RD, YOU WILL KINDLY BE TREATED AS ONE IN RETURN.
2. ONCE YOU BOUGHT IT, YOU GOT IT! SO, CHECK ALL PURCHASES FOR SKIPS, SURFACE NOISE OR WHATEVER OTHER POOR EXCUSE YOU MAY COME UP WITH FOR TAKING THE RECORD HOME, RECORDING IT INTO SERATO AND BRINGING IT BACK. WE ARE
YOUNG ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE GONE TO THE 'G' BUT WERE NOT BORN YESTERDAY.
3. THIS IS NOT THE LOCAL PRECINCT, YOU ARE NOT BEING PROCCESSED - SO, KEEP YOUR FINGER PRINTS OFF THE RECORDS! DELICATELY HANDLE THE RECORDS BY THE SIDES OF THE VINYL.
4. PUT THE RECORDS BACK IN THE PLASTIC SLEEVES THE SAME WAY THEY WERE WHEN YOU REMOVED THEM. IF YOU DO NOT REMEMBER HOW IT WAS WHEN YOU TOOK IT OUT, LOOK AT ANOTHER RECORD, IT IS KIND OF LIKE MATCHING - SEE HOW THE SIDE HOLE WHERE THE RECORD COMES OUT IS ALWAYS TO THE RIGHT? DO THAT WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN THE SLEEVE. IF YOU CANNOT DO THIS, THEN DO NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE SLEEVE TO BEGIN WITH.
5. DO NOT TRY TO PUT BACK THE RECORDS YOU DON'T WANT. WE APPRECIATE YOUR DESIRE TO RESTORE THINGS TO THEIR ORIGINAL ORDER BUT IT IS NOT NECCESARY. PLACE ALL UNWANTED RECORDS ON TOP OF ONE OF THE BINS AND WE WILL PUT THEM BACK IN THEIR PROPER PLACE.
6. ALTHOUGH IT MAY CONJURE UP THE MOOD OF ONE, THIS IS NOT A LIBRARY! IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY OR INTENTION OF PURCHASING ANYTHING, DO NOT TIE UP THE LISTENING STATIONS AND CRACK SEALED COPIES OF RECORDS! THIS IS NYC, THERE ARE PLENTY OF HOTSPOTS YOU CAN TAKE YOUR LAPTOP, GET FREE WIRELESS, GO TO JUNO.COM, AMASS A LIST OF DISPOSABLE TRACKS & DOWNLOAD THEM FROM LIMEWIRE. WE ARE NOT THAT PLACE!
7. THIS IS NOT VIETNAM, INDIA, OR THE CHELSEA FLEAMARKETS - WE DO NOT HAGGLE FOR PRICES! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TALK US DOWN OR BESTOW SOME SENSE OF GUILT UPON US BECAUSE YOU SAW THE SAME ITEM CHEAPER SOMEWHERE ELSE. IF YOU WANT IT AT THAT PRICE, GO THERE!
8. WE DO NOT TRANSFER VINYL TO CDS. WE DO NOT KNOW OF ANYWHERE THAT TRANSFERS VINYL TO CD. WE DO NOT TRANSFER OUR VINYL TO CD - WE DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO TRANSFER YOUR VINYL TO CD. WE DO NOT WANT TO WASTE ANYMORE TIME ON THIS SUBJECT.
9. SPEAK LESS, SAY MORE. DON'T TALK TO HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE. CONVERSATION IS ENCOURAGED YET THIS IS NOT AN ADULT MOVIE THEATRE, IF YOU WISH TO STROKE YOURSELF OFF, SUNSET PARK IS FULL OF THEM.
10. WE DO NOT SELL W**D! WE CAN HOWEVER RECOMMEND A LARGE SELECTION OF MUSIC THAT IS GREAT TO LISTEN TO WHEN ABOVE THE CLOUDS. THESE RULES ARE PROMINENTLY POSTED, THEREFORE THEY APPLY! FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED WILL RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF YOUR RIGHT TO BE TREATED HUMANELY, YOUR IMMEDIATE EJECTION FROM THE PREMISES & A GUARANTEE OF YOUR HUMILIATITON BY DETAILED DESCRIPTION IN OUR WEEKLY E-BULLETIN. SHOP SAFE, SMART & MOST IMPORTANT, SINCERELY! ALWAYS FORWARD.

*** Breaking News *** We are blessed to have the one and only Dan Safer leading a morning yoga session Saturday at 10:30am! Time Out NY called him “a purveyor of lo-fi mayhem.” He has choreographed plays, fashion shows, operas, music videos, films, flash mobs and more, got kicked out of high school for a year, used to be a go-go dancer, and once choreographed the Queen of Thailand’s Birthday Party. Dan taught at NYU for almost two decades and is now faculty at MIT. Dan is a badass muthaf*cka. Dr. Jonny Romero will lay down the musical bed. Bring your own yoga mat, grass is provided. 📸 :
Brooklyn born and bred friend of Kevin Morales, Dope Jams alumni and renowned fire fighter Ivan Monegro will take the reigns of the mothership Saturday night in the club at the Dope Jams Open-Air Festival directly following Joe Claussell. Join us as he keeps the room rocking into the early hours 💥 📸 :
“With so much drama in the NYC / It’s kinda hard bein’ Shawn D-U-B.”
When you talk to anyone about Funmi Ononaiye, two things come up without fail, his laugh and the fact that he was EVERYWHERE all the time! Shawn Dub possesses those two same qualities! His infectious laugh can be heard at any record store, whether it be the one he has being the backbone at for almost ten years, Human Head, or any other shop in NYC he is constantly shootin’ the s**t at. His warm humble presence translates line for line when he is behind the decks. Raised in the emerging hip hop scene of Long Beach, CA in the nineties his taste is second to none, he has a true appreciation for all kinds of music and of the school of thought that there are only two kinds of music, good and bad. Catch him rockin’ summer jams Saturday afternoon in the field at the Dope Jams Open-Air Festival this coming weekend! 📸 : -4

After making his mountain debut last summer, duKe returns to for the Dope Jams Open-Air Festival on August 2-4! Known as the godfather of jakbeat, Traxx will annihilate the club with his mutant techno and raw head bursting dirty blends +++ it is also rumored that this weekend will allow you to see the other side of Traxx, as he will play the field with the beautiful funky timeless songs that inspired and continue to inspire his unique perspective 👊
Charles Webster is one of those rare cases where the saying “dont ever meet your heroes” doesn’t apply. The sincerity his music exudes also translates into his real life persona. From his masterful production work under such monikers as Presence to Love From San Francisco to his timeless album “Born On The 24th of July” his music over the last 30 years is untouchable. We are very excited for him to join us in the Kaatskills August 2-4 for the Dope Jams Open-Air Festival!
Three weeks til we are back for the Dope Jams Open-Air Festival 🔶 August 2-4! Joining us will be the baddest muthaf*cker to touch the turntables in the last 30 years, the embodiment of New York City, the king of the crossover, Joe Claussell! Catch Joe playing both outside in the field under the sun and in the club tearing apart the RLA soundsystem 💥
Catch ‘Triple A’ (Acid Abe Armstrong) at the Dope Jams Open Air Festival 🚲 August 2-4 where he will be holding a workshop on how to not tell very powerful medicine women in Saugerties about the festival, as well as other critical tips for long cycle journeys. 📸 :

We are back at .nyc today for ‘Devotion’ from 5-11pm! Two parties greatly influenced my desire to start a Sunday afternoon party. The second was party S.T.D.
Thomas Bullock used to live right around the corner from Dope Jams when we were in Brooklyn. He resided in the Taafe Lofts, which are across the street from the Lafayette Garden Housing Projects, one of the more notorious projects in the borough. At first, the landlords had a hard time finding tenants among the rich young Pratt students they were hoping for, but by the time Thomas’s S.T.D. party became a reality, the lofts were filled to the brim with trust fund babies and hip graphic designers “roughing it.”
As a friend and regular of the store, Thomas would often come around and bulls**t with us, and for a long time he tossed around the idea of doing a S.unday T.ea D.ance. We prayed his vision would become a reality, especially after hearing countless stories about the debauchery of his Rub ‘n’ Tug loft parties in Chinatown. Months passed, nothing happened, and then one day Thomas wandered in and told us it was on. We told him we were all in, anything we could do to lend a hand! So he enlisted us to help him screen print t-shirts, lug a set of Klipschorn speakers across Brooklyn and cautiously spread the word.

Took Willow to his first concert last night at Barclays, Future + Metro Boomin, a special surprise appearance by Travis Scott doing ‘Fein!’ - - nothing like seeing his eyes lit up and mind blown by the power of Music!
For the past 6 years I have been building out Locust Grove. It finally feels like it is approaching the way I originally imagined it. It is at the point where we are dialing in the fine details of the different spaces on the property. This is always my favorite part of the process. I am very much looking forward to seeing it come alive for the Dope Jams Open-Air Festival on August 2-4 with some of my favorite selectors @joeclaussellsplaygroundd • @djcharleswebster • @kodenation_ • @ayo_ivo • @shawndub365 • @james36963 • @jonny_romero • @alexfromthewood • @generalstoor • @getsounds77 🏴☠️ Yung Otto Ohle has been along on this journey in Smoke Hill since its inception, this is the first in a series of short videos he has made leading up the event! 🎥 : @ottoohle DJK Logo : @kitbashed #kevinmoralespiknicpavilion
Can’t wait to be back @gabriela90.nyc this Sunday afternoon, March 3rd, for the return of ‘Devotion’! Doors at 5PM, free before 6PM, ten bones after.
