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."

What VINYL RELEASE is top of your list??? Record Store Day 2019
“Record Store Day 2019 will take place on Saturday 13th April 2019. ”
Phonica Records London…
Record Store Day is the one day of the year when over 200 independent record shops all across the UK come together to celebrate their unique culture. Special vinyl releases are made exclusively for the day and many shops and cities host artist performances and events to mark the occasion.
Thousands more shops celebrate the day around the globe in what’s become one of the biggest annual events on the music calendar. We are excited about releases from AtJazz, Anderson Pak, Louie Vega, Dj Pierre, Roy Ayers, Prodigy, Alex Arnout and many more!
The full list of RSD 2019 releases are available here.
Helping independent stores
So, Record Store Day isn’t perfect, and yet it seems that it does generally help those little independent shops to keep afloat.
That can’t be a bad thing, not only for those of us who love flicking through racks and selecting purchases, but also for our diminishing high streets and the music industry in general.
Get yourself down to your local independent record shops and grab some WAX – and then do the same at regular intervals all year around, so that the UK music sector keeps thriving!
Phonica Records - London & Piccadilly Records - Manchester are personal favourites of mine!

Dr Pete Dale, Senior Lecturer in Music, and a self-confessed vinyl junkie said...
“Vinyl's analogue is different”
There is no aural benefit to be had from listening to a CD compared with a soundfile on your computer, smartphone or iPod: you get a digitally-created sound which sounds continuous but which is actually made up of tiny little bits of sound so small that your ear can’t directly notice the gaps.
Vinyl, however, actually does give you analogue (that is, continuous) sound: whether or not you prefer vinyl records to the digital sound of CDs and computerised soundfiles, there is no question that the sound is different.
The analogue sound of a vinyl record has a ‘warmth’ which arrives not only from the analogue sound but also from the frequency range which the sound reproduction can allow. It is also possible to enjoy the ‘surface noise’ which vinyl produces, as indeed John Peel once claimed to do.
