Record Fair Hits NYC

Good Saturday Morning to you.  I hope you have your weekend agendas set for great tunes with great friends...and for all you bedroom DJ's, no slacking on the turntables.  Get in there and work them every day, even on weekends.  No days of rest for the DJ.  That's for sure.  Below is a snippet I found in Mixmag's online magazine. This article was written on September 29, 2011 so note the date difference.  The event already occurred, but I thought it would be interesting for my NY readers.  It could possibly be something you may want to plan for this coming year, as well as keeping track of a number of organizations whom create such events.  Remember to keep it all jotted down in your notebooks.

October 8 in New York City will see the Superstar DJ Record Fair dancing it's way into the Brooklyn Flea market. The 4th annual event also will feature the U.S. introduction of the Independent Label Market, bringing in top labels with separate booths where, in addition to manning their own booths, label heads will be taking turns spinning special sets throughout the day.

Labels like, Fool's Gold, and Domino will have booths, as will Jagjaguwar, Secretly Canadian, and many others. Collectors will have to get their early to snag what they want, but if nothing's left once you get in, you could always kill time at the album-cover face-painting booth.
More information on both the Brooklyn Flea and the Superstar DJ Record Fair can be found at brooklynflea.com and independentlabelmarket.tumblr.com. Happy hunting!
