Kosovo Clubbing

On Saturday, June 29, Greenlight Collective , in cooperation with the Rijeka City Library, Croatia, organizes an informal daily gathering in the form of a record fair in the courtyard of the Art-kvart and the premises of the Children's Library, as part of the new event Summer Story from Benčić!   The record fair, of course, has an emphasis on electronic music, and as the collective says, the reason for this is to "bring it a little closer and demystify it to society that may not often go to "underground" events. " There will be opportunities to find other genres, thanks to the exhibitors who will come to the fair. The fair starts at 3 p.m. and lasts until 9 p.m. , and in addition to researching records and pleasant conversation with all present, Greenlight Collective is also preparing a couple of relaxed sets by local DJs who will have the opportunity to present their taste and selection. FB EVENT: Record Fair in Art-kvart!  

It's a rainy day here in Gjakova. I was going somewhere. While i was walking in the rain, under my umbrella, i remembered when the post officer decided to deliver the Rihanna - Loud vinyl i got for my friend Rina Ferati, on a rainy day. We're both Rihanna fans so, i wanted to surprise her on her birthday with a Rihanna vinyl.💛😊  I ordered the vinyl at Juno Records in UK. It takes one month for vinyl to get here via Royal Mail.  I waited one month. Of all the sunny days, the vinyl arrived on a rainy day. I don't remember if the package had the "Keep Dry" Label on. I wonder if it occurred to the post officer that the vinyl would get wet. He could've waited for the rain to stop pouring or deliver the vinyl on a sunny day, I was freaking out. Lucky for us, the vinyl didn't get wet. 😅 "Now that it's raining more than ever..." - Rihanna Since that day, i've been resonating with Rihanna's Umbrella more than ever!  

The compilation features four tracks from Bicep, Porridge Radio, Angel Olsen and Black Country, New Road. UK environmental advocacy group Music Declares Emergency has joined with bioplastic vinyl producer Evolution Music for the special release, of which there are only 20 copies. MDE 's Crowdfunder description claims that Evolution Music created this material to help their mission to decarbonize the production of physical products in the music business.

According to the RIAA's mid-year report, vinyl has overtaken CDs to become the most dominant physical format for the first time since the 1980s.  Last year, the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) mid-year report suggested that CD sales were declining three times as fast as vinyl sales were growing.  In February, the RIAA reported that vinyl sales accounted for more than a third of the revenue coming from physical releases.  Despite vinyl only accounting for four percent of total music recorded music revenues, the RIAA's mid-year report reveals that vinyl sales contributed to 62 percent ($232 million) of the $376 million physical sales in the first half of 2020.  Despite vinyl’s growth, streaming still dominates the music industry — records accounted for just 4 percent of total revenues in the first half of 2019.
