Started a festival for record heads with @lovehandleevents @kaewonder_ and @daveserious back in 2016. We never had any expectations out the gate, so celebrating our 5th @liveconvention is pretty cool. After 2 years off, it feels great to be officially back next Friday. 

@djmrthing @skratchbastid and @skemerichards are some of the best DJ’s in the world on 45’s. So it’s only logical we invited them to help us kick off Live Convention 2022 with the return of our 45 Kings party Fri Sept 30th @theblk_space. 

@rashad_ringo_smith’s discography reads like a 90’s hip-hop and R&B anthems playlist. Saturday Oct 1st @jakeuno and I sit down with the producer and vinyl head behind iconic songs like Biggie’s “One More Chance (remix)”, Busta’s “Woo-Hah” and LL’s “Doin it” as part of our “Catalog series” @torontocollective all powered by @loopsessionstoronto. Music by Toronto’s own @djagile and @djbigjacks. 

Sunday Oct 2nd, Toronto’s only international vinyl fair goes down @itsok.world. The Cratery Record Exchange is back with an amazing selection of Soul, Funk, Jazz, Psych, Gospel, Library and more with dealers from all over North America and live screen printing from @thebaitshop. Fall through and supply your wax fix. 

We close things out Sunday night @littlejerryto with our party for Soul lovers “Work it Out” featuring top tier selections from Las Vegas’ @doublepeas, Winston-Salem’s @jonathanckirby, Memphis’ @silkyvincent and Toronto’s own @msmoveonup. 

Grab a Live Convention Grail Pass and get the full package including access to 45 Kings, Catalog: Rashad Smith, Cratery Record Exchange (early admission) plus our limited Rashad Smith 45 (Woo-Hah/Rhymes Galore), both exclusive Live Convention mixtapes from @djmrthing and @doublepeas as well as our official Live Convention ’22 tee. Grail pass buyers can pick up their merch Sun Oct 2nd at the Cratery Record Exchange. 

For ongoing details follow @liveconvention. Hope to see y’all next weekend.
