DJ David “Sapo” Casillas ~ Sapo’s Digital Vinyl Revolución
The East LA Revue presents Sapo’s Digital Vinyl Revolución Podcast (SDVR), a unique radio program that blends the warmth of analog vinyl with the reach of digital music formats. SDVR features an eclectic mix of B-sides, vinyl album cuts, CD tracks, cassette recordings, and select internet releases, representing artists across multiple genres and musical generations.
Many of the analog stereo recordings highlight a time when tape and vinyl were the standard formats for radio programming, while CDs and digital tracks illustrate the evolution of music in today’s cyber and digital age. This fusion reflects the diverse musical identity of East LA Revue Internet Radio and its commitment to preserving music culture across eras.
David Casillas, also known as SAPO, was born and raised in and around Southeast Los Angeles. Like many Chicano youth of his generation, he developed a lifelong passion for collecting and sharing music. Sapo’s Digital Vinyl Revolución Podcast is a personal and cultural retrospective, showcasing both mainstream and independent music through a Chicano perspective within an ever-evolving American musical landscape.
