Music listening is increasingly a solo activity. Plugged earphones filtering into specifically curated playlists make for individualistic tastes. Gone are the days of exchanging the latest audio cassettes or CD collections among friends over summer holidays. Yet, a growing community of record collectors is starting to reshape this experience. The Turntable Festival by The Revolver Club at Bandra next week hopes to play a role in this experiential restructure.
“The base of the festival’s idea is that many of the audience feel unable to connect with traditional hi-fi stores and brands,” shares Mihir Lapalikar, organiser with The Revolver Club. The festival seeks to provide collectors and listeners with access to new turntables on the market, listening kiosks as well as bring back the communal listening experience, he adds.
