Hey DJ! Friday Q&A: Vinroc

Vinroc may be stoked to have grabbed a single from reggae icon John Holt out of the vinyl bins, but the soul fiend isn't content to just spin other people's classics. The DJ is busy running his own record label, and is about to release his debut full-length. We caught up with the Otis/Milk mainstay for a quick Friday Q&A.
