Rappcats x Ubiquity: Michael McFadin popup record shop, Los Angeles 8/20/16

"This one goes out to my man the Groove Merchant, comin’ through with the beats that I’ve been searching'" – Beastie Boys' Mike D in "Professor Booty"
Michael McFadin, Ubiquity/Luv 'N Haight Records' President and founder of San Francisco's fabled Groove Merchant record shop, will bring a collection of his own funk & soul records to Rappcats for a one-day popup shop.
Saturday, August 20, 2016
Noon — 6PM
5636 York Blvd,
Los Angeles CA 90042

The boutique McFadin opened on Haight Street in early 1990 was one of the only stores of it's kind, nearly three decades ago, and it quickly earned a reputation the world over as a place to find rare records and learn about new sounds. It became a haven for collectors, DJs, and producers looking for soul, funk, jazz and break beats, and inspired the likes of the Beastie Boys, DJ Shadow and Dan the Automator to create landmark albums in the 90s. Ubiquity and Luv N’ Haight labels were founded from the San Francisco shop.

Rappcats is bringing McFadin and his records for a one day pop up shop in Highland Park, Los Angeles. Many of the records one of the best collections the funk and soul America ever saw: those of "Boston” Bob Gibson, the East Coast's digging king. Egon visited the collection shortly after McFadin bought it in 2004 and confirmed that it was peerless, full of one-off, fabled records, of all genres, but with a specific bent: heavy grooves, and raw funk. Also on sale during the pop up will be Ubiquity and Luv N' Haight titles, available at 50% off.

OUT NOW: IKEBE SHAKEDOWN - STONE BY STONE

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 11:34 AM PDT

NEW RELEASE OUT NOW!

IKEBE SHAKEDOWN "STONE BY STONE" is out and now available for purchase.

Ikebe Shakedown’s powerful instrumental soul takes “big unison horns, slinky bass lines, tight little guitar licks—and blends them with tasty grooves culled from '70s-style horn-driven funk (WNYC Soundcheck).” The Brooklyn-based collective is set to follow up their well-received self-titled debut album with the heavier, more mature sound of their second full-length Stone By Stone.
