Beat Swap Meet is quite possibly the best record fair I’ve ever been lucky enough to attend. Certainly, there are plenty of records, but you can find quality records anywhere. What the Beat Swap Meet has that other record shows do not is personality and a culture. DJ 671, one of the organizers of the Beat Swap Meet joined us for a short chat about the event and also dropped a very “Melting Pot” kind of Guest DJ set, with a variety of styles, all mixed together expertly (and with some subtle politics and Father’s day tuneage thrown in). Due to time constraints we weren’t able to bring the entire set to you yesterday on-air, but here it is in its entirety. I’ll see you at the next Beat Swap Meet, (I should be spinning some tunes around 2-ish) coming this Sunday, June 22nd…just in time for the official start of Summer!
