Offbeat Records

What was all that about!! It’s hard to describe how it felt celebrating the new shop opening this Saturday. We had one month to build it up, and at many moments we thought it was mission impossible. Without the help of our crew and friends this just wouldn’t have been possible. Being all together celebrating what we have build up together was so special. The amount of people that showed up during the opening was just heartwarming. From start to finish we saw nothing but smiles, and we still can’t get rid of ours right now (: We are more motivated than ever to keep on doing what we’re doing, so expect more dope records and music and of course more of these instore events and listening sessions. Thanks to our crew, the dj’s that soundtracked this day, @operator.radio for streaming all day long, @jarrkombucha & @duvel_nederland for the refreshing drinks and everyone who showed up and shared the day with us. And a very very very special thanks to a few people who have been incredibly important for making this all happen. @miguel___herreras for the store design @tunaa.raw for building up the whole place Tom and the crew at @possibilities.open.studio for the amazing soundsystem @wormie.studio for the cherry on the cake with the beautiful wormie lighting @studio.angelineau & @2stick_010 for the window stickers 📷 by @paik.vanschagen & @jord.jpg This was just the beginning..

how does sound translate into shared, embodied experiences in the places we come together? in the search of answering these questions, the community of pos found a new dream of crafting communal experiences. this led the project deeper into sound system culture, open source knowledge sharing, accessible speaker design and innovation. and so, possibilities of sound was born. full editorial on our website: possibilitiesopenstudio.com written by: @lulaluna____ edited by: @pokemonse pictures by: @pokemonse , Tom Venrooy, Alex Roux & Brandino Verhaak
