insist on analog

Essential reading for vinyl lovers and DJs.

Mark Metz nails the value of analog with a new spin on science, sound, and the human heart. Calling these formats “carrier waves of consciousness” he argues that collecting them might be better for your health than it is for your wallet. (September ’26)

Behind the Decks

Interviews with the disc jockeys and producers who have carried the culture forward from the earliest days of Disco and House to the connoisseur quality dance floors of today. (Summer ’27)

Praise for Vinyl Vitality

There’s a wild, almost evangelical energy here, the sense that dropping a needle is less a casual act than a ritual of reconnection. You don’t just listen to records in this world—you return to them like a pilgrim.

– Duane Davis, Wax Trax

Reading these wild ideas has made me sure I’ll never think about vinyl records the same way again.

– Steven Jay

I thought records were just another format. Then I read this book and realized it was my heart that was hooked the whole time.

– Jerry Davis
