Discogs is asking music lovers everywhere to skip the stream, silence the scroll, step away from screens, and just listen to records on Saturday, October 18.
Discogs invites record collectors everywhere to Dis/Connect on Saturday, October 18, 2025. This global listening event is a call to unplug from digital distractions and reconnect with the joy of listening to music.
Dis/Connect is a day for anyone who knows music is more than background noise. Discogs is asking music lovers everywhere to skip the stream, silence the scroll, step away from screens, and give your full attention to the ritual of listening to records on Saturday, October 18.
In a world of constant distraction, this is about choosing connection over consumption. Discogs is proud to lead this call — and you can help amplify it.

How to Participate
1. Share the Message: The more people who join, the more powerful the day becomes. Invite your friends, your community, your record shop, or anyone who shares your love for music.
2. Disconnect: Put the phone away. Log off the computer. Skip the stream. Step away from anything digital for the day. Yes, even Discogs.
3. Play Records: It’s that easy. On October 18, just listen. Spin your favorite records. Dig into your collection. Discover something new. Then post about it the next day and tag @discogs.
