The project in detail

Bringing a love of vinyl and old-school record stores into the digital world. We worked with Chiel and Samsung GALAXY to create Shoreditch Studio. Shoreditch Studio @ Boxpark played host to some of London’s most cutting edge music labels.

It was modelled on the concept of a record store for the digital age, with real vinyl and album artwork up on the walls which visitors can pull onto their phones. Each vinyl has NFC tags which, when scanned, drops that exact vinyl onto the user’s phone. Pull over the arm, the needle touches the vinyl and you’ve got an HTML5 powered record spinning on your screen at 45 RPM. All with the necessary options to share and buy the tracks.
