Digging through vinyl record treasure with Ahto Külvet

For Ahto Külvet, rare vinyl records became part of his day-to-day quite naturally. It all started with a love of listening to music. Then, just as his vinyl collection became too big for his family’s apartment, an opportunity came around to open a small record store.Nowadays he runs Psühhoteek record store in Tartu, hosts radio shows and conferences, and DJs regularly at events and festivals. Along the way, he continues to find incredible records and musical stories.As we kick off the fall EstoCast season, hear about:⚫the Estonian-Canadian artists that have made it into regular rotation in his DJ sets⚫the factors improving and detracting from the vinyl record world⚫the time Arvo Pärt made surf rock⚫and much more!Things mentioned in this episode include:-Psühhoteek record store: https://www.instagram.com/psuhhoteek/ - Rafik Babajev Jazz Quartet’s “Improvisations on the Mugham”: https://soundcloud.com/psuhhoteek/rafik-babajev-jazz-quartet-tallinn-1967-live-mugham-improvisations-Estonian musician Misha Panfilov: https://mpsc.bandcamp.com/ -Anima Pop: https://kohilarecords.bandcamp.com/album/anima-pop -Psühhodisko Conference: https://www.psuhhoteek.ee/psuhhodisko-conference -Genialistide Klubi: https://genklubi.ee -Marju Kuut's first album: https://www.discogs.com/master/1792767-Marju-Kuut-Aastaajad-Valimik-Estraadilaule -An explanation of lathe cut vinyl vs. pressed vinyl: https://www.tangibleformats.com/about.html#:~:text=A%20lathe%20cut%20record%20is,and%20pressing%20processes%20are%20skipped.-Tartu’s vinyl record factory: https://vinylplant.ee/ -Harry Liiv – Tantsutaktis Harry Liiviga: https://www.discogs.com/release/7079757-Harry-Liiv-Tantsutaktis-Harry-Liiviga-“Põrguhärjad” performed by Jüri Lipp: https://soundcloud.com/psuhhoteek/porguharjad-juri-lipp -Reet Hendrikson's album Reet: https://www.discogs.com/release/3918925-Reet-Hendrikson-Reet -Lõunamaa linn by Andres Raudsepp: https://soundcloud.com/psuhhoteek/andres-raudsepp-lounamaa-linn Socials: ➡️ @estonianmusicweek https://www.facebook.com/EstonianMusicWeek ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/vemu.ca ➡️ @eestielu.ca https://www.facebook.com/eestielu.ca/events➡️ @vemu.emc https://www.facebook.com/vemu.ca
