“The Stuyvesants” is a collaborative effort between music producer Allan Cole (Algorythm, Allmos), and record collector Darien Victor Birks. The idea was started in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY and the two wanted to work together on a project where they could incorporate several of their talents, related to music, art and design.

“Brooklyn’s Finest,” the first album by the group, was released entirely for free on June 1st, 2010 and almost instantly became a foundational sound of the summer in Brooklyn. Without a label and solely through word of mouth and internet sharing, the album went on to become a viral sensation both in New York and around the world which led to an entire catalog of following projects which all have have their own unique sound and story.

To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of it’s original release, the group is getting this piece of momentous music pressed on vinyl.
