starts out mellow and eclectic, and works up to a classic party vibe. you have to picture well dressed people eating dinner in the beginning, and sweaty drunk revelers at the end. i kid you not.

I Love Vinyl  October '09

Scribe fell in love with music at an early age and never fell out. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop, he started collecting records. Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of that time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later grow into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80's pop childhood roots.

Before he got his first set of 1200s, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio at WOBC FM at Oberlin College, where he then began to cut his teeth as a dj at house parties and campus events, eventually opening for A Tribe Called Quest in front of 3K people. It was the historic first show on their groundbreaking Low End Theory Tour. Back in NYC after college, Scribe dabbled in hip-hop production under the guidance of Russell Simmons' RUSH Producers Management, and deejayed part-time, opening major concerts for A Tribe Called Quest again, and Digable Planets.

Fast forward to present and DJ Scribe has been spinning full-time since 2002. In that time, he has developed numerous notable and acclaimed residencies in NYC: 'Love Revolution' at Joe's Pub, a freeform soul night that often featured Tortured Soul playing live, and guest djs such as E-Man, Carol C. of Si*Sé, Will "Quantic" Holland, Qool DJ Marv, and Ian Friday; Tag, in partnership with Wax Poetics Magazine, whose unique format featured Scribe alternating every other record all night with such legends as Yam Who?, Kool DJ Red Alert, Justin Strauss, Jazzy Nice, Prince Language and Rich Medina; 'Stone Soup' in conjunction with BBE Records; 'Soulnado', at the world-famous Knitting Factory, a joint effort with DJ Busquelo, fusing the headsnapping broken beat drum tracks of London's underground CO-OP scene with classic dancefloor jazz (another UK staple) played live and fully improvised by rotating top-notch instrumentalists; 'Nu-iSh', which began as a monthly party with co-resident OP! at the Vault at Element, and partnered with a who's-who of quality independent soul labels around the world, then growing into a weekly music review column on Coolhunting.com, and concert presenter for emerging artists like Heavy; and one of the most respected parties at Miami's annual Winter Music Conference since 2006: the 'Raw Fusion' Miami party, which has featured the best of the best djs, Spinna, Karizma, Simbad, Daz-I-Kue, Benji B, Phil Asher, Mad Mats, Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire, Karl Injex, and many more.

The original Raw Fusion party, founded by Mad Mats, started in 1996 in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2002 Mats launched Raw Fusion Recordings. From 2005-2011, Scribe ran their stateside offices, as US Label Manager. In 2008, Scribe, with partner OP!, founded a series of Raw Fusion parties at one of NYC's top dj venues, APT, which featured guest djs such as Simbad, Daz, 7 Samurai, Probe DMS, and live performances by Muhsinah, Kissey Asplund, Taylor McFerrin, TK Wonder, Zaki Ibrahim, Stephanie McKay, Daru, Erik Rico, Cecilia Stalin, and Ivana Santilli.

In May 2009, Scribe founded 'I Love Vinyl', an all-vinyl dance party featuring the "Dream Team", six resident djs playing every party together. Ge-Ology, OP!, The Twilite Tone, Amir Abdullah, Jon Oliver, and himself. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge's Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping, and they have been ever since. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now pushing 75+). In March 2010, 'I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side', the Brooklyn arm of the party, debuted at Brooklyn Bowl. A few months later, the I Love Vinyl Dream Team made an even bigger Brooklyn debut, at the season opener of Prospect Park's Celebrate Brooklyn free summer concert series, where they headlined a gala afterparty for the Norah Jones concert. Today the party takes place monthly at The Panther Room at Output.
