Bay View’s Wiggle Room (2988 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.) has thousands upon thousands of LPs and 45s in its collection. On top of that, Milwaukee’s first dedicated vinyl bar routinely outsources its turntables to a wide range of DJs who bring their records to play for customers. In 2026, Milwaukee Record will offer another, exponentially more crowdsourced way to enjoy music pressed to wax in a public setting.
The first Wednesday of each month, we’ll take over the Wiggle Room decks for a monthly collaborative vinyl spin we’re calling “Milwaukee Record Club.” From 6-9 p.m., we’ll drop the needle on vinyl releases that adhere to the month’s specific theme. Though we’ll bring enough music to cover a full set, we’re asking—no, we’re strongly encouraging—people to bring in their own vinyl that fits our chosen theme. If we think it’s a fit, we’ll play it!
But there’s more! During each and every Milwaukee Record Club spin, Wiggle Room will knock $1 off beverages from series sponsors Third Space Brewing and WYNK. Check out the dates and the themes for the first four Milwaukee Record Club installments, and start looking through your collections for stuff you’d like us to play.
