CHINATOWN RECORDS 華埠錄音

is a homegrown community effort to celebrate the sonic tapestry of music, memory, & history that comes with inherited family collections. 

Homebased in NYC’s Manhattan Chinatown, DJ historian yiuyiu 瑶瑶 takes on her childhood name to care for & activate the Chinatown Records archive of over 30 record/CD/tape collections inherited from her family & neighbors. 

Spanning across Chinatown block parties, sonic histories, living room listenings, and beyond, Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 is an ever-growing record of the people we love, who bring all this music to life with us.
