A$AP Frawls aka Adam Frawley

A$AP Frawls is Adam Frawley, an Adelaide selector who plays records rather than files. The name is a knowing borrow from New York hip hop, and the same humour carries over into the handle he uses online, Alfonso Frawls. The booking that anchors the profile is Long-play Selections at Rocket Bar & Rooftop on Hindley Street, a strictly vinyl only night where the format is the whole premise. No laptops, no shortcuts, just what fits in the record bag and what the room asks for across the course of an evening. He took the rooftop alongside Late Nite Lew and Jack Jelly, working across wine, cocktails and open sky rather than a dark basement, which calls for a rather different sort of selection entirely. It is a small footprint on paper, but vinyl only bills are not handed out casually. Promoters tend to fill them with people they trust to read a room and then carry it without a safety net.
