Origin Story

Every week we spin our vinyl collection at the studio. It started off as Vinyl Vednesday, which consisted of the Staff spinning Andrew Neyer’s record collection (an almost complete Talking Heads and DEVO discographies and others) instead of streaming music. By collectively DJ'ing, we began creating intentional moments throughout the workday. Playing vinyl takes more time out of our day, but the time wasted together shapes our culture. We've had countless versions of our stereo setup, TuneTown™, and each iteration has removed the obstacles to efficiently playing, choosing, mixing, and jamming. Rather than each person periodically detaching from their work to find music to play on their headphones, they can quickly select a vetted LP from our genre-sorted shelves without needing their cell phone. Our Funk, Soul, Jazz, Samba, Art Pop, New Wave, Mellow, Dad Tunes, Jamz, Soundtrack, 12" Singles, Noice Noises, and Art Rock shelves are packed with gems. The shelves provide a great visual of what genres we lack and which are overflowing (hint: it's the funky roller skating Jamz).
