If you're looking for vintage musical gems, look no further. There’s a healthy niche community of record collectors in all corners of the world finding ways to share their findings on social media. In the case of 30-year-old Randallstown native Chase Mortenson, it’s his cleverly titled Instagram account, @crategatsby. Mortenson, who grew up with both a love of history and music, started the account in 2017 to broadcast the local music he found while crate-digging on the internet and in real-life. And his collection is more than you could ever imagine. For the past few years, Mortenson has shared at least one record on his page every day, with a little bit of context to pull everything together. The records span from soul to gospel to jazz. In his pursuits, he’s discovered that elements of songs recorded in 1960s Baltimore became benchmarks of early hip-hop production on songs from artists like LL Cool J and Public Enemy’s Chuck D.
