MY MUSIC (FRAMED)

"My Music Is Better Than Yours"

The record collection defence. That moment when someone puts on their playlist and you know — absolutely know — yours is superior. Not louder. Not more expensive. Just better. The kind of better that comes from years of digging, listening, understanding what makes a track work.

Eight-layer hand-pulled screenprint on recycled stock. CMYK foundation with spot colours built up in sequence. Each pass through the squeegee adds depth to the image — shadows become richer, highlights more precise. The gloss finish catches light like vinyl under studio lamps. No two prints pull exactly the same. The paper fibres, the ink viscosity, the pressure applied — variables that galleries try to eliminate but I leave in.

This is disco culture stripped back to its core argument. Studio 54 wasn't just about dancing — it was about who controlled the sound. Paradise Garage wasn't just a club — it was a temple to the perfect 4/4 kick. Larry Levan didn't just play records — he curated transcendence. The mirror ball reflected more than light. It reflected taste.

Signed and embossed. Edition of 35. Comes ready to hang in black metal Nielsen frame with glass front. 710x510mm — large enough to make the statement it's designed to make. The frame has lived a bit, which the price reflects. Real collecting isn't about pristine condition. It's about backing work that means something.

Twenty years learning screenprint just to push it past its commercial limits. This isn't reproduction — it's multiplication of an original idea. Each print carries the full weight of the image, not a diluted echo of it. Made in the same Hertfordshire village I grew up in, using materials I pay for myself.

For collectors who understand that music taste isn't democratic. That some people just know. That the best collections aren't the biggest — they're the most carefully chosen. This print doesn't apologise for confidence. Neither should you.
