It is also important to note that older music fans are not the only active collectors nowadays. “Today, vinyl remains the format of choice, attracting young and old fans.
The main idea is to share and recognise the music collector community’s role in keeping the (physical) formats alive despite how much streaming is the norm now," says Chang. “Kena Sound is open to everybody, no matter the age. The PJPAC black box venue Nero will be transformed into a "pop-up record shop soundtracked by 'live radio' talk sets and deejay sessions" throughout the event. It will be presented in a laidback setting, with music conversations (on stage), pop-up music stalls, record shop storytelling, video screenings, open turntable sessions and more,” he adds. “ Kena Sound is about bringing back the fun when it comes to music collecting. You see toy collector events and book collector gatherings, but nothing for vinyl collectors, CD lovers and cassette revivalists," says Chang OY, one of the Kena Sound organisers. "Music collecting is a passionate pursuit yet there are no events catered for music collectors in Malaysia.
Organised by the Kena Sound Crew (a collective of music lovers) and supported by PJPAC, the independent event aims to broaden and liven up the record-buying experience and give music collectors an opportunity to interact with kindred spirits and discover new developments in this niche music collecting scene, which is being propped up by independent record shops and online sellers nationwide.
It’s an event to celebrate listening to music via a physical format, notably vinyl, CDs, cassettes and more. The inaugural Kena Sound music collector culture event at Nero Event Space, PJPAC, 1 Utama, Petaling Jaya on Aug 6 promises a day out with a difference for music lovers who have not lost faith in physical music formats.
