Miss Alex White started DJing vinyl at age 19 in Chicago. She discovered 45s in the late 1990s at record stores, where she recognized her favorite oldies for 10¢ a pop. Her collection grew at a time when vinyl was still considered old-fashioned and outdated, so a lot of her rare records were affordable at the time.

Now Alex spins records nationwide, inspiring wallflowers to cut a rug.

Sailor Jerry invited White Mystery to DJ the opening of the TATTOO exhibit at Chicago’s Field Museum! The audience heard all swingin’ vinyl 7-inches, which is the best way to soundtrack a party. It was a blast, as you can see in these photos by Alan Hain.
