After years filming interviews with fellow DJs, record shop owners, academics and other vinyl addicts (plus a healthy dose of hands-on action) all the ingredients were there – it was time for The Vi4YL Documentary.
This unique one hour film is packed with stories, insights and exclusive footage from some of the worlds best loved DJs and commentators. Add into the mix a live DJ soundtrack with every screening, and you have an innovative, groundbreaking and immersive journey.
Chris shares his obsession with records and explores what makes them so magical. As the world falls evermore into the unstoppable digital domain, these physical ‘plates of sound’ – ones you can touch, feel, smell and hear.
Background on Vi4YL
Welcome to Vi4YL, a project committed to sharing the love and joy that vinyl brings. Mixtapes, DJ sets, events, a documentary, and the re-homing of these unique time machines are all core to what Vi4YL is about.
Vi4YL was imagined by Chris Bailey, an award winning radio producer combining his vast experience across the broadcast, podcast, and DJ performance worlds. The mission, simply to connect you with the stars of the show – the records.
We are proudly addicted to vinyl and making beautiful, captivating, immersive experiences. As Dr Karyln King says ‘[VINYL] is going nowhere… it is the original OG.’
This screening is followed by a Q&A with Dr Karlyn King and Mark Burgess from Flashback Records.
