"it's a record fair...no, it's a party, it's a record fair AND a party!"
Record fairs on Friday and Saturday evenings and weekend mornings are held at the worst possible times for Djs. Shakey's Record Fair is held on weekdays at night to accommodate the hours of Djs and fans of club culture.
The fair takes place 4 - 6 times per year at venues of various sizes. All kinds of music is represented: punk, techno, experimental, latin, club, rap, rock, house, jungle, reggae, etc.. Vendors selling music related merchandise, such as videos, handbags created out of record covers, t-shirts, etc. are also welcome. To add to the fun, the fair program includes drink specials, contests, live entertainment, and Dj sets from notable record collectors.
The next record fair will take place on Tuesday evening at Williamsburg's Public Assembly. Diggers can expect to find all formats: 7"s / 12"s / Albums / whatever.
