Professor Shorthair, aka DJ Yamin of Nola Mix, is releasing two essential tracks from his NOLA Breaks disc on 7″ vinyl tonight at Gasa Gasa.
This is the first in a series of 7″ vinyl releases from the compilation of edits of unsung New Orleans funk tunes and local funk vocalists. The new record features New Orleans funk divas Mary Jane Hooper and Inell Young getting the royal boom bap treatment that’s geared for DJs and record enthusiasts alike.
The special event is the first of Berenice Mondays’ all vinyl nights, which will continue on the third Monday of every month featuring all-vinyl sets by their resident DJs during Happy Hour. Soulful, unpretentious, edgy, colorful, whatever you wanna call it. No Top 40. No attitudes (except the good kind). No fluff.
Gasa Gasa is also proud to announce the opening of uptown’s newest vinyl emporium. With the provocative moniker, Sisters in Christ, it lives in the front gallery of the club at 4920 Freret Street. Their hours are 12 noon until 6 PM, seven days a week. On special Happy Hour nights or all-vinyl DJ set nights they are open until later.
Sisters in Christ specializes in mostly in punk and related indie genres, but they have all sorts of obscure records. It’s mostly new vinyl, not a whole lot of used, which makes it a bit different from most record shops around. Wanna know more about this new underground shop? Go here.
Finally, exactly what you’ve been looking for Uptown.
