What Is We Love 45s?

We Love 45s is an award winning global events series built around one simple idea: bringing people together through a shared love of 7 inch vinyl.

Launched in August 2021, We Love 45s is the live events arm of 45 Day. We collaborate with DJs, vinyl collectors, record fairs, venues and creative communities around the world to deliver inclusive, community led events celebrating 45s culture.

From London to Amsterdam, Panama to Australia, we've taken 7 inch vinyl events to over 40 cities worldwide...and we're only just getting started.

All Generations. One Format.

We proudly platform DJs from every generation.

From the 45 Kids discovering vinyl for the first time, to teenagers, DJs in their 20s, 30s and 40s refining their craft, through to selectors in their 50s and 60s who grew up with the format. We Love 45s is intergenerational by design.

While the world feels increasingly divided, we are bringing the globe together through 7 inch vinyl.

Music is the common language. 45s are the connector.

Community, Culture and Mental Health

At its heart, We Love 45s is about creating open, welcoming spaces where inclusivity and positive mental health are core values.

Our events go beyond the dancefloor.

Alongside DJs spinning 45rpm records, you'll find:

This is more than a DJ night. It is a community movement rooted in connection, joy and creative expression.

What Are 45s?

45s are 7 inch vinyl records played at 45 revolutions per minute.

They are compact, punchy and built for impact. A format that shaped decades of music culture across soul, funk, reggae, hip hop, disco, pop and beyond.

As Rodriga Rockmore put it:

"The greatest musical format of all time. It spins faster, plays louder, and sounds better than digital."
