read on in his words below…
“Here’s some old footage I came across of the basement store
with some of the earliest staff. Ryan Sikorski, Neal Santos, Ricardo
(who didn’t work there, but ended up co-founding the Amsterdam
store with Ryan), Mark Kotlinski (88HipHop.com), DJ Hiro (R.I.P.)
and some bonus footage of Mista Sinista (X-Men) practicing while
Hiro observes. And even though the owner Joseph Abajian isn’t in
this clip he represents with a phone call to the store at the end of
the clip. It’s a cool look at what was out and what we were carrying
back then as you see the titles of vinyl that lined the walls. Especially
for those that never got a chance to make it to the OG location. The
stores may all be gone, but the company still lives on.”
