VINYL ON VINYL

Vinyl On Vinyl is an urban art and music gallery that stocks vinyl toys, records, art prints, artwork, and other related merchandise. Our thrust really is to foster a home away from home for folks with a discerning taste in art and music and to highlight local artists while we're at it.
Vinyl On Vinyl engages the creative community in a whole range of activities such as but not limited to film-viewings, art talks, and art sessions. It also offers DJ lessons for aspiring turntablists with a line-up of the country’s finest beatsmiths as instructors. VOV involves itself in all sorts of avenues that support its business and allows artists to utilize the gallery space for projects/activities that are attuned to its vision.

This vision is to serve as a platform that features the best independent local artists in a variety of marketing endeavors such as the website, social networks, media releases, events (exhibits, performances, live art, etc.) and whatever other clever things we may think of.

Collective Soul
By Liz Anne Bautista

You'd never guess that, within the confines of the warehouse-looking facade along the one-way street of Malugay, is the city's new destination du jour for shopping, food, art, and parties. Referred to as The Collective, the massive space, which used to house an autoshop, brings together a bevy of alternative retail shops that cater to the young and hip Manila set. Although the fresh paint smell hasn’t quite faded, and some shops still stand empty or half-finished, here are some of the stores that are open and already reinventing our concept of retail:
