Crate diggers, make room in your collections: Side A, A Singapore Record Show returns for its third edition on 24 October.

This year’s The Vinyl Souk will feature 37 vendors offering new, pre-loved and rare records, alongside CDs, cassettes, posters, merchandise and music memorabilia.

Indonesian sellers SRM/Heyfolks and Lamunai Records will join the fair, while Universal Music Singapore will make its debut as a vendor. Philip Cheah, co-founder of Singapore music magazine BigO, will also put a selection of rare records from his personal collection up for sale at the event for the first time.
Beyond browsing the racks, visitors can catch vinyl DJ sets throughout the day and live acoustic performances by local and regional artists. Turntable, speaker and audio equipment demonstrations will offer opportunities to compare sounds, alongside listening sessions and displays from private collectors.
Behind the fair is Singapore independent label and vinyl distributor Mosta Records, founded by Azri Ali and Afidah A Manaf in 2016. Starting as a record shop at Peninsula Shopping Centre, the company became an authorised dealer for Jack White’s Third Man Records, later expanding into a distribution hub for the label in Southeast Asia and other parts of Asia.
