In the new year, I'm launching a new little musicy startup with a friend of mine called Wax & Stamp.
The idea was inspired by a independent magazine business I came across recently that sends you a different independent magazine each month from all over different places. I thought it would work really nicely with vinyl as well. We're launching early 2015 though no specific date and the main premise is to send out a couple of records each month: one chosen by us and another chosen by a guest selector each month.
The plan is not to be genre-specific. I know in the US there's Vinyl Me, Please and elsewhere in Europe there's a few house/techno subscription clubs like this, but in the UK there's not much that's open-ended.
What are your thoughts on this? There's currently a few things we have hanging open at the moment. Like where do we price it, do we do two LPs at say £30, or two 12s/EPs at £15? Do we leave it open-ended with genre or tighten in.
If you want to find out more, then we got a mailing list to keep you up to date over at http://waxandstamp.com
