12 years ago, Egon hosted his first pop up record shop at Now-Again Records HQ in the Highland Park neighborhood in Los Angeles. In 2016 he opened an adjoining space and expanded the concept to more than record shops – the space hosted cultural gatherings of likeminded people from the world over, from artists to winemakers to musicians of all walks, from young to old. The first event in that space was a joint production with his old friend, Tropicalia In Furs catalyst Joel Stones. So it’s fitting that, ten years later, Joel returns to host an event with Egon – and that we announce the end of these events. We will wrap this series at the end of 2026.
We will post more news here as to the final slate – which will include stalwart friends DJ Shadow and the Groove Merchant’s Chris Veltri. But, for the moment, mark your calendars for the event of the season – Joel and Egon, starring in Record Store Day Weekend!
These last of these longstanding events will be announced here and on Egon’s Instagram – @nowagain. Don’t miss any updates – sign up for the Now-Again email newsletter here.
About the events:
Egon’s been selling records from his collection at events he’s hosted in Los Angeles for 12 years now. What started as a quarterly event in 2014 morphed over the years, and in 2025 he hosted at least one event – sometimes two, or three – a month in the 1500 square foot Now-Again space in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
These events will conclude at the end of 2026. For the final slate of events, he’s bringing his friends – like DJ Shadow, DJ Muggs, Chris Veltri from San Francisco’s Groove Merchant, Joel Stones of New York’s Tropicalia In Furs, Mr.Joe Benson from Omaha – and offerings from their collections.
At each event, the entire Now-Again catalog will be available for a one day discount of 20% less than our normal retail prices. Stay tuned to Egon’s Instagram for more details on this evolving series of vinyl showcases.
