Hey all y'all, June has been an incredible month!! We almost thought it
impossible to hit as many styles in 4 weeks as we have in June - N'Dea
Davenport, Paul Oakenfold, Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters, Cornelius,
Los Amigos Invisibles, Urban Tap, Dimitri from Paris, Gil Scott-Heron...
and the list goes on. We'd like to thank all of you who helped make this
summer hot.
And speaking of hot...as things got a bit to warm at Vinyl this past
Thursday for Dimitri we have decided to hold off on any events at Vinyl
until the air conditioning is properly in place or winter rolls around -
which ever comes first.

Continuing on into July we have a pocketful of event not to be missed so
don't miss out!!!

Check out the listings below
