This limited selection reminded me of the years when choosing a record was a serious decision, when every single vinyl had to earn its place in your collection. Back then, you didn\u2019t walk into the booth with a USB drive holding 32GB of tracks\u2014you brought pieces of your soul pressed into wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-993\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-169x300.jpg 169w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-84x150.jpg 84w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-768x1365.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-rotated.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"994\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-994\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-576x1024.jpg 576w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-169x300.jpg 169w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-84x150.jpg 84w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-768x1365.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-864x1536.jpg 864w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FG001-00_39.005-rotated.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-992\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-150x84.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/D8A733B7-D73E-4541-B7E1-5FB995AD123C-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Music Becomes a Bridge Between Generations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The energy on the dancefloor was electric. People of all ages came together, united by sound, sweat, and smiles. Midway through my set, I dropped a track I hadn\u2019t played in years\u2014<em>Who Dares to Believe in Me?<\/em>&nbsp;by&nbsp;<strong>The Believers<\/strong>, produced by the legendary&nbsp;<strong>Roy Davis Jr.<\/strong>&nbsp;back in 1993 on&nbsp;<strong>Strictly Rhythm Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Believers - Who Dares To Believe In Me (Original Mix) (1993)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V1YmljYAP28?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, it was once a track I considered \u201ctoo commercial.\u201d But watching the crowd respond reminded me that good music never loses its magic. A young DJ came up afterward to ask about it\u2014he was born in 2005, twelve years after the record came out. And yet, it spoke to him as strongly as it spoke to me when I first heard it decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the beauty of vinyl and the power of timeless music\u2014it connects us, erases generational gaps, and reminds us why we fell in love with DJing in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Night to Remember, A Passion Reignited<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>La Cochera\u2019s booth was a dream: two pristine Technics decks, a warm rotary mixer, and a crowd that came to dance, not just to stand around. The vibe was authentic, soulful, and alive. I walked away from the night with my heart full and my passion renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To everyone on the floor, to Ignacio, to Pura Vida La Herradura, to Bacanal Music, and to La Cochera Club\u2014thank you. Nights like these remind me why I chose music as my life\u2019s path. Here\u2019s to many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls poster=\"http:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/La-Cochera-1-rotated.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alessandrovigo.com\/storie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5693.mov\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Dares to Believe in Me?
