Halloween eve, with music in the air and the veil growing thin. For the third edition of THE GROOVE, NYC-based vinyl selector James Park brings his wide-ranging taste and thoughtful, global groove-driven selections to the decks, soundtracking the night with deep cuts, hypnotic grooves, and unexpected turns. Drifting back from Asia and Europe, NYC-based vinyl-only DJ Onakan Disko joins THE GROOVE, making his debut at MAD Records NYC with a special haunted-night selection to carry the energy until the very last record.
