THE OPPOSITE OF A SPOTIFY QUEUE.

You pick a record & we play it loud. The weirder the pick, the better the story.

WHAT IS DOLLAR RECORD CLUB?

It’s an intimate hi-fi listening experience hosted by Dr. Honeybrew—the guy who's been reading your future in coffee grounds since 2018.

He got tired of playlists. So he did something about the future of ‘em.

How does it work?

Hunt

We'll meet at a local record shop and set you loose in the dollar bin. Pick whatever speaks to you. Weird is welcome!

Listen

Back at Dr. Honeybrew's listening room, every pick gets played loud on a hi-fi system that'll ruin Spotify for you forever.

Trade

Loved someone else's pick? Swap. Can't part with yours? Keep it. You're leaving with a record either way.

Q&A

  • We meet at A1 Records in the East Village, dig through the dollar bin, then walk over to Dr. Honeybrew's listening room a few blocks away. The whole experience runs about 90 minutes.

  • Not even a little. You don't need to know the difference between a pressing and a reissue; you just need to pick a record that feels right. The whole point is the story behind your choice, not your music credentials.

  • Speakers: DeVore Bronze

    Amplifiers: Shindo Monbrison, Shindo Montille

    Cables: Transparent Audio (Reference Level)

    Turntable: Technics 1200G

    Cartridge: Lyra Delos

  • Tickets start at $10, plus a dollar for your record at the shop. Spots are limited to 10–12 people to keep it intimate.
