Justin Myers has collected vinyl records for about Justin Myers has collected vinyl records for about a decade. It’s become an obsession after his wife gave him a record player.

“Since then, I've just been collecting like crazy all the time. Daily records are coming in or I'm going shopping. It’s a sickness,” he said.

Thousands of vinyl records are meticulously organized in his home office by genre and beats per minute.

Some North Texas music lovers might know Myers as DJ Willie Dutch (@funksnotdead_) who hosts vinyl-only sets about once or twice a month. He said there’s something special about holding a vinyl in your hands.

“You can see who played on a record. You know what the label was it released on, what year it released,” he said. Myers said some things simply aren’t available digitally. “I can’t go on YouTube and listen to specific records. So the deeper and deeper I go, the more I find that records are the way for me.”

​Every Thursday night, @revelershall in Dallas’ Bishop Arts District pulses with the electrifying rhythms of @branoofunck—a dynamic duo redefining the live hip-hop experience. From 10 PM to 1 AM, the pair blend hip hop beats and dance jams with live percussion, creating an immersive soundscape.

The group is the brainchild of two Dallas artists: DJ Menace, a Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer with decades of experience behind the decks, and Medrick “Medz” Greely, a versatile drummer known for his dynamic live energy and deep musicality. Together, they fuse the essence of old-school hip-hop with live instrumentation—Menace spins iconic records and cuts sharp transitions, while Medz lays down thick, funk-infused drum grooves in real time.
