For this podcast we decided to try something we have never done before — set out to do a show without any records from our collection. Instead we went to a local record swap meet with a set budget of $50 each to create our playlist for the day.
- North Oakland record swap meet—time to start digging
- Arjuna (DJ Smokestack) is in his happy place
- May-Li (DJ China Tu Madre) previewing a possible winner
- Jacob (Dj Pozole) scrutinizing each track
- Federico (DJ Papicultor) sampling West African treasures
After a full afternoon of digging through many boxes of records from all over the world we headed straight back to La Sala to see if we spent our money wisely. We think we did pretty well, but have a listen and let us know what you think.
