Los Angeles “Beat Swap Meet” Going Down Dec Eleventh 2011

Beat Swap Meet #16: Beat Swap Meet returns to Los Angeles, Sunday December 11th, for our 16th installment. This is a must attend event for anybody half way serious about sampling and beat-making; vinyl enthusiasts, crate diggers, producers or disk-jockeys. Over 40 invited collectors and dealers buy sell & trade records that you’d like to find during your digging-in-the-crates session! Blues, Disco, Funk, Hip Hop, Jazz, Punk, Reggae, Rock, Soul & World – 12″ & 45rpm records. What better way to spend your Sunday afternoon than digging through some records for some dusty gold? Peep our Photos from BSM-14 June 2011.
