GRAMMY WEEK: AMAZON MUSIC'S LOT PARTY

There was plenty of buzz—and buzzed industry types—at Amazon Music's annual Grammy Week Lot Party yesterday (1/30). RCA's KAYTRANADA (pictured above and below with GM Ryan Redington) manned the turntables at the company's Culver City campus as proud execs showed off Studio126, the streamer's new, 28,600-square-foot creator space.

Attendees included Andra Day, Jermaine Dupri, A-Trak, Muni Long, KenTheMan, Amazon Music Breakthrough artist Benson Boone and even Culver City Mayor Yasmine-Imani McMorrin.

Sadly, Redington failed to duck out of the way quickly enough to avoid posing with various trade hacks, evidence of which will undoubtedly assail you here when you least expect it.
