Founded in 2011, the world’s first “around the clock” musical marathon dedicated to vinyl records & DJ culture returns for its unmissable annual edition at the Nuit Blanche in Montréal.
Casino of Montréal presents the 21st edition of the 24 Hours of Vinyl, part of the official Nuit Blanche in Montréal programming.
In honour of his upcoming set at our beloved 24 Hours of Vinyl event, we wanted to have a talk with Montreal’s UZI about… records! What else!?
Tell us about one record you’re gonna play at 24HOV
What is the last record you bought?
I bought the original mix back in the day on 20:20 Vision recordings. The remixes are very well done.
