meet us
it all started with dad's record collection
growing to a collective record of our families & living room archives
to record the sonic histories that bring the music to life for us
CHINATOWN RECORDS 華埠錄音
is a homegrown collective, archive, & now radio station based in NYC’s Manhattan Chinatown.
Tuning in since 2018, we are a collective effort kicked off by DJ historian yiuyiu 瑶瑶 & her family to follow the music, memory, & history that comes with over 40 record/CD/tape collections inherited from the neighborhood & beyond.
With each beloved song & memory, Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 evolves as an ever-growing record of the people we love, who bring all this music to life with us.
OUR CREW
steering the ship, alongside an ever-growing team of volunteers caring for the archive & eventually running the radio station with us.
