Breaks, Funk 45's, Dancehall
In this town, there’s hip hop music, there’s house music, then there’s the music of Vinyl Ritchie (a.k.a. Spun–K, a.k.a. Wicked Lester, a.k.a. Scott Arkwell).
While “breaks” and " funk" is a term that often may be used to label his sound, he's also a ground halfway between the beats and vibes of all soulful music.
Travel All the way back to ’91, from his Zoo Boogaloo night at the Starfish Room circa ’94, Cherry Bombs at Sonar during the latter half of the ’90s (both with DJ Czech) to the Big Sexy Funk night with Mat the Alien, Lady Precise, at Shine today Vinyl’s been spinning records and 45's trying to find that ground combining different sounds that all revolve around one word: funk.
Though his career has already lasted an eternity by DJ standards, you couldn’t exactly say that the audience for his sound is an established one (compared to the establishments that are hip hop and house). Perhaps this could be because his sound isn’t really a definable one.
Come watch as vinyl ritchie spins only vinyl records all night long!!!
