AMATEUR SELECTORS is our all vinyl deejay series taking the place of FRESH WAX. this series is a nod to a small bar in Düsseldorf called Salon Des Amateurs - a space we admire for breaking the rules of what a "club" should be, and what kinds of music a deejay should spin. We feel like ROZZ-TOX follows a similar ethos, and we want to cultivate this mentality in Rock Island by not subscribing to any rules of what a venue/ club/ bar should be, but rather do what feels good and right.
