The Cover Carousel
Your whole collection,
one swipe at a time.
Covers big enough to actually look at, moving the way they move in the crate.
Standing in front of the shelf, running a finger along the spines, pulling
one out just to hold the cover. That is the part we did not want to lose,
so the carousel works the same way: keep swiping until one stops you.
Choose it. Play it. Remember why you bought it.
Who Is Behind the Decks
Two vinyl lovers. A year of getting it right.
We started this because we wanted to know every record on our shelves. Not
roughly, not the ones we could name off the top of our heads. All of them,
and we wanted to be able to see them properly.
That took the better part of a year, and we have been pedantic about every
bit of it. Changing things over and over until they felt right, obsessing
over tiny details, putting it in front of a test crate crew, and pushing
the launch back again and again rather than show you something we were not
proud of. All because we wanted it to feel really simple and easy, even
though what's going on underneath is anything but. That was the hard bit.
Simple is hard.

Designed and built it
An architect engineer who has spent years building complex systems, and
the one who designed this one. The cover carousel alone took a
ridiculous number of hours. It had to be seamless, and it had to be
right. Under it sits the cover recognition, the syncing between phone
and web, and everything that still has to work in a basement with no
signal. Built so that what you see is a collection you are proud of.

The human side
A human behaviour specialist, coach and therapist, endlessly intrigued
by other people's collections: the artists they support, the records
they point you towards that you would never have found on your own, and
how beautifully intimate and kind sharing music turns out to be. She is
also the one writing the emails and the posts, so when you hear from us,
you are hearing from her.
It worked on us first. We play far more of our records now, we buy more of
them, and we are a good deal closer to the collection than we were when we
started. Self funded, no outside investment, no team.
