Vinyl is the medium that won’t die. How do we explain its long-lasting appeal, its unique aesthetic qualities, and the strange sense that these questions are somehow important? This event will see a panel of expert commentators and practitioners discussing the issues in the ideal setting of Brilliant Corners, London’s only audiophile venue, before then hosting a party to put theory into practice.
Party: 8pm-midnight
Dominik and then record collectors from the Lucky Cloud Sound System will play music from 8pm until midnight. Sushi and Japanese food from the Brilliant Corners kitchen will be available throughout the evening.
