Ka Sets Up Dr. Yen Lo Shop Outside Other Music This Saturday
We are honored to support the record release from Dr. Yen Lo, a great collaborative project featuring one of our favorite NYC rappers, Ka, and DJ/producer Preservation. Traditionally Ka has released his albums straight to the public by taking to the streets and setting up shop outside the famed Fat Beats storefront in the West Village. The hip-hop mecca closed their retail locations a few years ago, but Ka has now chosen Other Music as his new launch pad. This Saturday, from 1 to 4 p.m., he will be selling The Days of Dr. Yen Lo, greeting fans, and maybe even hosting a cipher outside our shop on East 4th Street.

Record Store Day 2015 at Other Music
Saturday, April 18, is Record Store Day 2015, the annual celebration of independent record shops, vinyl, and passionate record collectors. It's a huge day for Other Music, and all the other great stores we love. We will be open from 10am-8pm with a huge stock of exclusive RSD titles on hand (no, we can't tell you what and how many, but there is a full listing of all the official releases here). There will be some fun giveaways, including a pair of amazing special edition Dogfish Head Crosley portable turntables from our buddies (and official RSD beer sponsor) Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. To enter for your chance to win one of these record players, Tweet or Instagram something RSD-related while you're at Other Music on Saturday, and then tag your post with #RSD15, @dogfishbeer, and @othermusic (Twitter) or @other_music (Instagram). And we are hosting three very special in-store performances throughout the day, from three incredible artists whose boundary-pushing visions remind us why we care so much about indie music in the first place: 75 Dollar Bill at Noon, Matana Roberts at 3pm, and Laraaji at 5pm! -
