The next great music platform won’t look like Spotify or Ableton. That’s the bet. A Vinyl Bar in Shibuya is a “music (software) label” – we release playful music products built on a core belief: music is a verb – something you do, not passively stream. We're on a mission to pull people into a deeper relationship with music, and we're building the next great consumer music app to do it. We’re a small but mighty team of creative technologists, assembled by Máuhan M Zonoozy (ex-Head of Innovation at Spotify, 2x exits), and backed by investors who uniquely get it, including NFX, Mantis, Quiet Capital, Collaborative Fund, Gold House, BoxGroup, SV Angel, RRE, and others. $9M+ raised Interested in working at Shibuya?
