Dictator Records to Host Jazz Dispensary 10th Anniversary Party, Celebrates Release of Limited-Edition Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights LP
Greensboro, NC — April 1, 2026 — Dictator Records will host a special anniversary event on Monday, April 20, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Jazz Dispensary and the launch of a limited-edition 1-LP set, Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights. The in-store party at Dictator Records, 1008 Westside Drive, Greensboro, will feature giveaways, prize drawings, and an opportunity for fans to be among the first to purchase the new release.
Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights condenses selections from the original 4-LP Cosmic Stash collection into a single vinyl experience. Curated by Jazz Dispensary’s musical sommeliers, the LP pulls standout tracks from each of the original collection’s “blends”—Soul Diesel, Purple Funk, OG Kush, and Astral Travelin’—offering both longtime collectors and new listeners a concentrated taste of the series that started the brand. The release arrives on 4/20 and will be available exclusively at Dictator Records.
Attendees at the anniversary party will have a chance to win a 12 x 12 authorized print and a Zoetrope slipmat, with prizes drawn during the event. Guests can also pick up limited-run giveaways while supplies last, including "Legalize Jazz" bumper stickers and Jazz Dispensary Rx notepads. The event aims to bring together the local music community and vinyl enthusiasts to celebrate Jazz Dispensary’s decade of curatorial releases and cultural influence.
“We wanted to honor the record that launched Jazz Dispensary in a way that’s true to the community and the culture that built it,” said Seneca, manager of Dictator Records. “Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights is a compact, powerful listening experience that recreates the spirit of the original collection, and hosting this party on 4/20 felt like the perfect way to mark ten years of digging, sharing, and celebrating great music.”
Dictator Records invites collectors, jazz fans, and neighbors to RSVP and place orders for the LP through the store’s website. Due to the limited nature of the pressing and the collectible prizes, customers are encouraged to RSVP early to secure their copy and reserve a spot at the party. The store will follow standard in-store policies and ask attendees to arrive promptly for the 5:00 PM start.
