Tomorrow on Delmar Blvd.
Our main man at Vintage Vinyl, Jim Utz, sends along word of an event on Delmar tomorrow. I would describe this as "fresh," "fly" or "ill," but have no sense of the current hip-hop vocabulary to summarize this. (Help an old person, please.) But we digress...

June 7th
2:00 - 5:00PM
Saturday
DJ Needles brings the beat back to the street Delmar style with special guest DJ Alejan!
For those that visited us on Record Store Day, chances are you felt the good vibes before you got in our doors as Soulition's DJ Needles rocked a mini-block party in front of Vintage Vinyl outside underneath our marquee. The spin which featured guest breakers and MCing from Lifestyles and Nato Caliph was a breakout success at Record Store Day so we've partnered up with DJ Needles to keep the beat alive on Delmar with a monthly party on the sidewalk outside Vintage Vinyl.
The monthly jam will be the first Saturday of each month, starts at 2:00 p.m. and will feature DJ Needles along with various MCs, breakers and guest DJs dropping in and out of his sets. Launching the series in a BIG way for June's installment DJ Needles has secured a special guest DJ set with St. Louis turntablist legend, DJ Alejan!!! Yes, DJ Alejan is dusting off his gear and will be coming out of retirement to spin with DJ Needles while promoting the recent reissue of his classic mixtape, "Originality Iz A Must."
Beat Street with DJ Needles kicks off on June 7th at 2:00 p.m..
