The Vi4YL Documentary
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 1 hour film takes you by the hand and into the wonderful world of vinyl. It is packed with stories, insight 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.
A true ‘Love Letter to Vinyl’.
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 - continue to engage, enchant, and bring joy, why is that?!
