Why Vinyl DJing Still Matters: Embracing Culture at The White Collar Project

At The White Collar Project, our roots lie in the vinyl DJ culture that shaped streetwear and music communities. Before digital files and streaming, vinyl records defined a DJ’s set and created a tangible connection between artist and audience.

Spinning vinyl forces DJs to be intentional with every record they bring. Unlike digital crates, there’s limited space in a record bag, which means you only pack the tracks that truly resonate. This makes you listen more carefully, plan your selections, and connect deeply with each song’s groove. Many DJs also find that the tactile act of pulling a record from its sleeve and cueing it on a turntable heightens focus and appreciation for the music.

That focus and authenticity are woven into our apparel and art. From graphic tees that reference classic record labels to prints inspired by album covers, our pieces celebrate the heritage of vinyl. They are designed for those who appreciate craft and quality—whether on the decks or in their wardrobe.

Our passion for vinyl DJ culture runs deep at The White Collar Project.

If you love the energy of turntables and the creative freedom of DJ culture, explore our latest releases and join the movement. We’ll keep creating clothing and content that honours the timeless rituals of vinyl DJing and the community that supports it.
