Vin Sol made the move from the Bay Area to NYC a while back, but keeps himself bouncing between the two, and you can find him on the turntables in both places on a regular basis. This cat is a straight digger. He's looking for (and finding) the stuff you don't even know about, and you may never have found out about unless he uncovered it and threw it into a mix or a set. Vin is committed to finding that rare disco vibe that makes you realize you actually like disco and maybe shouldn't have hated on it so long. His love for disco goes beyond the latest trend or streak in popularity. Don't get it confused though, he plays it all, and we're sure he goes looking for it all as well. The beautiful thing about Vin (and his contemporaries) methods is that they're bringing attention to music that may have been seen as "throw away", but through the spreading of this music, it's worth is being discovered by more people every day.
For Vin's latest mix, he linked up with A-Trak's Fool's Gold Records to rock a podcast episode full of his "Swap Meet Heat". For those that aren't familiar with the digger culture, the swap meets and flea markets are some of the best places to go to look for records that will make your collection unique. Vin scours these locations for musical nuggets on a regular basis, as evidenced by this mix right here.
