Five Records: A Music Exploration Series with The Gaslamp Killer

Only The Wild Ones and Dust & Grooves present: Five Records — A Music Exploration Series with The Gaslamp Killer.

Over four evenings, The Gaslamp Killer invites us into his record collection and his memory — tracing connections between genres, eras, and the sounds that shaped him. From Italian soundtracks to British library music, and psych rock to trip-hop that inform his work as both a recording artist and archivist, each night unfolds as a journey through sound, story, and history.

Vol. 1 — Library Music & Soundtracks

The series opens with a deep dive into the world of library music and film scores — those heavy Italian, French, and British grooves composed for TV and films that didn’t yet exist. Each Five Records evening moves from history to reinterpretation, exploring how these sonic artifacts continue to influence modern music.

The Evening Includes:

Intro to Genre — A guided look at the roots, cultural context, and key figures.

Five Records — A deep listen to five defining albums and their impact on GLK’s sound.

Behind the Beat — How these records have been sampled, flipped, and reimagined.

Interpolation — GLK reinterprets these sounds live, connecting past to present.

Welcome to the New Generation — A spotlight on a contemporary artist carrying the lineage forward.
