Singaporean music enthusiasts Kurt Loy and Darren Tan have celebrated the renaissance of vinyl records with a bar in a new venture on Ann Siang Road.

White Label is a bar and record store in a single space where the duo hope to enthuse a new generation to share their passion for vinyl. Their last venture was record marketplace app #vinyloftheday.

“We are very happy to be working with Analog Vault to present to Singapore’s music community and music lovers our labour of love,” said Tan at a media preview. “We aim to provide a unique and all-encompassing experience in music where you can have a drink, discover and buy new music, enjoy live performances and DJ sets.”

Loy and Tan hope White Label will become more than a bar, becoming a community space to showcase underground culture and alternative music. They plan to present a curated collection of vinyl from local and regional stores and host live events, including a two-day popup on october 12 and 13 featuring Jazzy Sport.

On the bar side, White Label will serve cocktails, craft beers and wine.

White Label is at 28 Ann Siang Road and trades from 11am to midnight Tuesday through Sunday.
