Join Discogs, the world’s leading music discovery and record-collecting platform, for the Listening Room, where artists chat about their favorite albums and the stories behind each.

Featuring: Dan The Automator, Toro Y Moi, TOKiMONSTA, Howard Wiley

Moderated by: Gabriel Lopez

Special guests will drop the needle on their personal selection of records, played live. Part conversation, part high-fidelity audio experience, the Listening Room is a space for sharing a love of vinyl.

All four hour-long programs will be moderated by Gabriel Lopez, who is a product of Oakland, the SFV, and the Mojave Desert. Starting his musical journey in college at UCSC’s student station KZSC 88.1FM, Gabriel got to dig into the rich history of Northern California music and tap into the Bay music scene. He shares his expertise as co-host of Vinelands, KEXP’s Bay Area and Northern California-focused show on Saturdays from 6-9pm PT.
