I always feel fortunate to meet OG/DJ like Skeme Richards in this Culture of Street Dance and Music.
Many of us have been danced (so much!), inspired and educated by his DJ sets at Bboy jams and parties. I like when he plays records that I never heard before, but they are so good that I passionately wonder what they are. At least 1 or 2 for sure I hear music like that during his set.
What we all respect about him is that he is skillful, knowledgeable, keeps it real with what he loves and always share his love to the culture.
So when I asked to interview him, he invited to visit Philly and showed me around the city. and I got to see some “Treasures”!
As a “global DJ, cultural ambassador, foodie and pop culture preserver”(ref. his own website Nostalgia King – “About” page), he is Culturally Authentic, Globally Well-Known, but also Personally Friendly; Skeme was so nice to show his serious collection of Records, Figures, Books, and Sneakers with explaining stories about each one of them for this blog.
His respect to the original productions and the love for the retro-nostalgic flavor and stories are admiring. It was such an honor to visit the house of “Nostalgia King”.
Now, let’s take a look and learn more about the culture, shall we? 😉
the episodes of his collections starts from here :
“Skeme Richards’ Nostalgia Collection – Nike Air Max TrailWind”
Skeme Richards :
“Skeme Richards is known within a large circle of Funk & Soul 45 aficionado’s, DJ’s, vinyl purists, record labels and promoters as a heavyweight collector in this genre. He has toured playing these 7” vinyl records during some of the most unique and successful nights across the globe. No matter the genre, Skeme Richards fits the bill with his delivery, vast musical knowledge and understanding of what it takes to rock a party by reading the crowd properly and reacting accordingly. …” (reference from RecordBreakin.com)
