Reviving the 'Connoisseurs Corner'

Originating from Chino's tenure on Vinyl Vandals Radio's UnderDeep show, this segment delves into timeless classics and hidden gems that have significantly influenced his musical trajectory. Listeners can anticipate deep dives into tracks like Todd Edwards' transformative remix of Alistair Tennant’s "Love Letters," a piece that stands as a testament to Edwards' genius despite its understated presence in mainstream circuits.
A Curated Tracklist
The episode's tracklist is a testament to Chino's impeccable taste and deep-rooted connection to various subgenres. From the soulful strains of Amaria's "Beggin" to the rhythmic intricacies of Kaytranada's "Waiting" featuring Kelela, each selection is a chapter in the story of music's evolution. Notable inclusions like Afefe Iku's "Mirror Dance" (Yoruba Soul Remix featuring Oveous Maximus) and Masters At Work's "I Can't Get No Sleep" (MK Mix) highlight the seamless fusion of classic and contemporary sounds that he has championed over the years
A Personal Reflection
Beyond the music, Chino offers listeners an intimate glimpse into his journey. From his roots in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, to over a decade spent in Doha, Qatar, his narrative is interwoven with anecdotes that underscore the transformative power of music. His reflections on distributing CDs and MiniDiscs from the back of his smart car, and the evolution to digital platforms, mirror the broader shifts in the music industry and highlight his adaptability and passion.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this centennial milestone, it's evident that the journey is far from over. Chino's commitment to unearthing and sharing soulful, deep, and underground tracks remains unwavering. This 100th episode not only honors the past but also sets the stage for future explorations, promising listeners continued authenticity and musical excellence.

Bobby Davis... Vinyl Vandals Guest Mix teaser!
The Vinyl Vandals welcomes Bobby Davis, and collectively, we salute and tribute to Cipriani DJ.
Bobby Davis, a longstanding DJ within the London House music scene, brings us a little teaser mix as we await his debut guest mix for The Vinyl Vandals.
Bobby had a few words about his relationship with Cipriani & the Vinyl Vandals collective.
"It is such an honour to be finally working with this super-solid brand. The connection and bond with 'Vinyl Vandals' run deeper than just me making a guest appearance as the CEO & Director of the company 'Chino VV' is the son of the legendary 'Cipriani'. He was also one of my best friends in Music. Me and 'Cip' were very close, and it saddens us all when he passed away over six years ago.
On this occasion, I would like to take you all on an ancestral ride with me as we take it back to the motherland, how 'Cipriani' would have liked it. Even though we were both very deep into Tech-House & Techno Minimal sounds, we were both very in touch with our roots.
We love you, 'Cipriani', and I wanna dedicate this special warm-up show to you. The full show will be aired live on 'Vinyl Vandals' Radio at a later date TBA, but before I go, I would like to say a big thank you to 'Chino Vv' and the rest of the VV family for having me on board.
This special warm-up show features new and exclusive tracks from Baker Troubles, Natalie, DJ O +More and will be available to download via my all-new 2021 updated SoundCloud account."
