Joining Dapo in the studio this week is emerging rapper CJ, who brings Potter Payper’s classic mixtape Real Back In Style as his Vinyl Resting Place album. We get into CJ’s mindset as an artist, his approach to making music and the work ethic required to take things to the next level. He opens up about the importance of staying focused, putting in the graft and building something on his own terms, while reflecting on the music and experiences that have shaped his journey so far. A conversation about ambition, dedication and what it really takes to make your mark.If you want to see more of Vinyl Resting Place you can find all of our previous episodes here: https://vinylrestingplace.buzzsprout....Our Guest: CJHis IG: @ieremv_His YT:  @ieremv  VRP Studios: The LowVRP IG & TikTok: @vinylrestingplacepodVRP podcast streaming platforms search: Vinyl Resting Place

In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we're turning our attention to Glastonbury the legendary yearly pilgrimage to Worthy Farm that is a bucket list occasion for every music lover. I’m lucky enough to be heading there this year (so no bitterness here), and because I am no longer salty, Glasto gets its own episode.We dive into the mixed reactions to this year’s headliners a trio that’s sparked a bit of controversy and left some feeling underwhelmed. But beyond the pyramid stage, we beam about the unmatched depth and variety the festival has that makes Glastonbury so special, from the seemingly never ending list of DJ sets in the late-night dance spots to scores of bands we can wait to see and the emrging artists just waiting to be stumbled upon. If you're heading down or just watching from home, give us a listen and get gassed for glasto.Check out our TikTok and Insta too why don't ya:@vinylrestingplacepodHost:Dapo Agiri - @dapo_ag Guests:Charles Ricketts - @ricketts_#glastonbury2025 #worthyfarm #glastofestival #glastonburylineup #musicfestivals #festivalseason #vinylrestingplace #musicpodcast #ukfestivals #glastoculture #glastolove #livemusic #festivalguide #summerfestivals

In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we’re diving headfirst into festival season 2025, breaking down the best lineups, the must-see acts, and all the chaotic joy that comes with live music in the sun (and sometimes rain). From Lost Village and Truck Festival to Jazz Café Festival and Lido, we explore the incredible variety of artists and genres on offer this summer. We couldn’t help but notice a trend, that some lineups are starting to look the same so we have tried to focus on festivals that are breaking the mould. We discuss the cookie-cutter feel of many festivals this year, question the lack of risks being taken, and talk about what we’d love to see more of whether it’s bolder bookings, better genre representation, or more space for emerging talent.Expect plenty of nostalgia, a few passionate arguments over things that don’t really matter, and a celebration of everything that makes festivals unforgettable,from incredible headline sets to unexpected hidden gems from artists you've never heard of.Don't worry we will be giving Glastonbury its own episosde!Check out our TikTok and Insta too why don't ya:@vinylrestingplacepodHost:Dapo Agiri - @dapo_ag Guests:Charles Ricketts - @ricketts_#festivalseason2025 #lostvillage #truckfestival #jazzcafefestival #lido #musicfestivals #summerfestivals #livemusic #festivalvibes #vinylrestingplace #musicpodcast #festivalguide #bestlineups #ukfestivals #festivalexperience #emergingartists #festivaldiversity

In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we’re joined by Anman, a Georgian-British musician and multi-medium artist who brings a deeply personal pick to the show: Akhali Albomi by Georgian band 33a and Niaz Diasamidze.Anman opens up about the highs, lows, and creative frustrations of her artistic process, and how she weaves her Georgian heritage into her work. We also discuss her powerful experiences during the Georgian demonstrations, offering a rare and illuminating perspective on the intersection of art, identity, and activism. This episode is refreshingly insightful both musically and politically and at points is great reminder of how art can serve as a platform for awareness and change as well as a source of relief.If you want to see more of Vinyl Resting Place you can find all of our previous episodes here: https://vinylrestingplace.buzzsprout.com/Check out our TikTok and Insta too why don't ya:@vinylrestingplacepodHost:Dapo Agiri - @dapo_ag Guest: Anman- @anman.land#anman #georgianmusic #33a #niazdiasamidze #akhalialbomi #vinylrestingplace #musicpodcast #multidisciplinaryartist #georgianheritage #artandactivism #socialchange #creativity #politicalart #emergingartists #ukmusicscene
