The Secret Record store is trying to keep the experience of vinyl records alive in Hawaii.
It’s a small pop-up mobile store complete with a listening station where people can preview a record before deciding to buy it. The design is to give the listeners the feel and interaction of the small independent record stores that are becoming hard to find.
Kevin Cruze is one of the forces behind the project, which started by hauling crates of records and turntables to monthly events that encompass art and music.
John Friend is Cruze’s business partner. He says vinyl offers a different experience than a digital format.
