Ask GenZ, and they will tell you that “retro” is cool. So, it’s no surprise that all things retro are making a comeback. Add vinyl to that long list, complete with a vinyl pressing plant. Samanvii Digimedia Art & Solutions, a vinyl manufacturing plant opened doors in MIDC Pawne, a few weeks ago. The plant is now the only vinyl pressing unit in the country, giving hope to several artists, analogue superfans, and collectors.

Almost a relic, vinyl record stores have been making a slow comeback for a few years now. The Revolver Club, a store in Mahim, specialising in vinyl and music equipment has been at the forefront of this movement. In Bengaluru, Rams Musique thrives as one of the largest vinyl record stores in the country, housing 6,000 records; and then there is the Record Room, which opened last year and is now moving to a new space. Delhi has seen more recent openings like the Digging Record Store, which opened earlier this year.
