The Vinyl Experience: City Goes Wax
No laptops, no sync buttons, just pure analog warmth. I bring my personal collection of rare vinyl records to craft a soundscape that moves the room the old-school way.
Spinning a 'City Goes Wax' vinyl set at Manarat Al Saadiyat in the UAE. It was an honor to bring my all-analog sound to such a prestigious arts and culture center.

About this collection
Spinning vinyl is a different craft. Because I rely on Technics turntables and high-fidelity cartridges, I require a strict 60-minute sound check before the event starts. This ensures the needle stays stable, the audio warmth is calibrated, and the low-end hits exactly how it should. This isn't just a playlist, it is a dedicated sonic performance designed for those who appreciate the physical texture of music.
When you book a vinyl-only session, you are paying for more than just background music. You are getting my personal collection of rare records, spanning Jazz, Funk, Soul, and Reggae dubplates that you won't find on any streaming algorithm. My 'City Goes Wax' events are rooted in the tradition of sound system culture, where the DJ acts as a curator and guide rather than just an entertainer.
Why Go Analog?
Digital sets are great for peak-time dance floors, but vinyl brings a raw, tactile energy that changes the room's atmosphere. It is about the 'pura analogwala' (pure analog) experience. The sound is fuller, deeper, and more immersive, making it ideal for art gallery openings, cocktail evenings, or intimate private gatherings where the music needs to be sophisticated but not overwhelming.
What to Expect
- Curated Selections: I pull from crates, not cloud storage. We will align on the vibe beforehand, whether you want deep-cut soul or heavy reggae rhythms.
- Technical Excellence: I provide my own industry-standard Technics SL-1200 turntables and analog mixers.
- The Vibe: My sets are conversational and warm. They invite people to talk, listen, and connect with the music.
If you want a DJ set that feels authentic, intentional, and physically engaging, this is the format for you. Let's keep the needles dropping and the energy real.
