About this Event
CVC fam — we're going home.
Chicago Vinyl Connection (Northside) started right here at Emporium Logan Square back in 2021 — a small crew of dealers and music lovers who just wanted dig again. Five years and dozens of shows later, we're closing out the year by bringing it back to where it all began.
This time we're doing it bigger. Thousands of records across every format — LPs, 12"s, 45s — from dealers across Chicagoland stacked deep in soul, funk, jazz, hip-hop, house, world, latin, psych, and more. Five DJs on the decks keeping the room moving from afternoon into evening, an open scratch session in the back with Skratcher Chicago, and Kanto Taqueria posted up in the Food Truck if you need to refuel between crates.
But the mission hasn't changed. It was never really about the records — it's about the room. Flipping through a bin next to a stranger, discovering your next favorite album, or watching someone finally find the one they've been hunting for years. The culture that's kept this city's vinyl community alive and growing, that's what CVC is here for!
