We like to think that shopping at Dakota 501 is not always 100percent about the clothing. Our staff members like to build an enjoyable environment that they themselves would like to shop in and just generally be a part of. A big part of this, we think, is the music.

On a regular basis a new artist enters our stratosphere, brightens our lives and has us all dancing to the beat of a new drum.

With that, we bring you our latest listening.

‘Long Distance’ – the 2010 album by the artist ‘Onra’, harks back to the good ol’ days of disco and dance-off’s. Mixing his beat-driven style with samples and sounds from a bygone era, this album with have you wishing you were roller-skating along a Miami Beach in an oversized Hawaiian Shirt. Don’t get the wrong impression though; Onra expertly brings it all together to (thankfully) provide us with this seriously classy and relevant record.

Happy listening.

Michael
