Making Vinyl Memphis

Photographer Eilon Paz has travelled the world to capture a total portrait of global record collecting culture in his definitive Dust & Grooves project. Ten years since his best-selling Dust & Grooves Vol. 1,  Vol. 2: Further Adventures in Record Collecting demonstrates that vinyl is more than a format—it’s a lifestyle. Dust & Grooves celebrates everyday collectors alongside music royalty. Four Tet, Questlove (The Roots, The Tonight Show, Jay-Z, D’Angelo), jazz icon Ron Carter (Miles Davis bassist 1963-1968), comedian Eric Andre, punk filmmaker Don Letts, A-Trak, Floating Points, Stones Throw Records founder Peanut Butter Wolf, Nabihah Iqbal, Quantic, DāM-FunK, and the family of the late BBC DJ John Peel are just some of the collectors captured across both volumes – with over 150 collectors in the new Vol. 2 alone. Paz has rare insight into
 the cultural impact of records, the resurgence of vinyl as a luxury product, and how collectors, DJs, and music lovers shape the industry’s future.
