Discogs Announces New Analog Music Listening Initiative Dis/Connect

Discogs, the popular online record marketplace, has announced Dis/Connect, a new effort to authentically connect with music. On Saturday, October 18, music fans are encouraged to step away from streaming services, social media, and other digital platforms and focus on spinning records.

How it works:

• Share the message that you will be offline on October 18 to spend the day listening to records.

• Discogs has provided assets to make sharing simple. They were also designed as invitations for others to join.

• On the day, log off from all digital accounts to give the records your full attention.

• The next day, post about your experience and tag @discogs.

Get involved:

• While solo listening is celebrated, Discogs is encouraging listeners to share the day with fellow record lovers through in-person events such as:

• Inviting friends to a private listening party in your home.

• Organizing a listening event at a cafe or community space.

• Hosting a listening party at your local record store.

• Discogs has opened a form where people can submit ideas for supporting the initiative.
