VINYL MOON "Mixtape" Club
Ready to join the most unique vinyl club on the planet?
Vinyl Moon is a completely unique "mixtape" record club that started in 2015 and I couldn't be prouder of all the bands, artists, and memebrs we have worked with.
Every month we make a unique "mixtape" record of new music, creative artwork, and beautiful deluxe packaging, and ship it to adventurous vinyl lovers (our members!) around the world.
Both music and art are deeply personal. We share what we love and we care deeply about our curation, creations, and the communities of creatives we work with (say that 5 times fast!). Words can't do justice to the VM experience. Please explore the site to see if Vinyl Moon feels right for you. (We aren't for everyone!)

Our #1 goal with Vinyl Moon is to create the best club experience possible. Deluxe vinyl records like ours take 4-6 month to manufacture. We have to lock pressing quantities loooong ahead of time.
- Make too few? Some members will miss out. That is not an option!
- Make too many? We have too many copies and less resources for enhancing the club experience.
Limiting the number of spots in the club provides stability and predictability. We can focus that energy on other parts of the club experience! After all, we would rather have a smaller club that everyone loves, than a bigger club that compromises any of the experience.

The VM Club Experience
MUSIC, DISCOVERED
Our founder, music curator, and art director (Brandon) searches the globe for the best new music from emerging artists. He then creates mixes of his favorite songs & moods to press onto beautiful colored vinyl. Each monthly "mixtape" is a record that explores and supports exciting musicians.
ARTWORK, CREATED
For each record, we work alongside a different visual artist to design an original record artwork experience. We aim to create a visual world within the record jacket that complements the music discovery. An immersive vinyl journey with occasional stops for special features and surprises, of course.
VINYL, EXPERIENCED
Every month we send you our newest ultra-deluxe vinyl record "mixtape" pressed with the best new music onto eye-expanding colored vinyl. Each Vinyl Moon record is an out-of-this-world experience crafted to take you on an adventure of sights and sounds. Explore the collection.

Have Questions?
Most People Do.
Vinyl Moon is a completely unique record club. Nobody else does exactly what we do. That means the things the make the club special can also be the things that make the club confusing.
.
The best way to understand the club is to experience one of our VM Club Records for yourself.
.
In the meantime, here are some answers to common questions :)
How is Vinyl Moon different from other record clubs?
To put it simply: More variety, more discovery, and more creativity.
MORE VARIETY: The traditional record club format is an "album of the month" format. One album (that already exists) is selected and sent to member each month. We always found that format a bit underwhelming.
MORE DISCOVERY: Vinyl Moon takes the same idea of sending a record each month, but instead of 1 album from 1 band, we make a mixtape of new music from 10-12 different bands.
MORE CREATIVITY: We work with a different visual artist each month to create original artwork and deluxe packaging that push the boundaries of the vinyl experience.
What comes with a Vinyl Moon membership?
• A guaranteed a copy of each month's "mixtape" record, and all the extras it includes.
• A member discount on orders from The VM Shop.
• Bundled shipping discounts.
• Early access to exclusive pressings & variants.
And more to come as we grow the club experience.
How do you make such unique & deluxe records?
Step 1. Listen to a LOT of new music.
Step 2. Invite the bands we love to be a part of Vinyl Moon.
Step 3: Craft the best fit and flow for songs that work well together and make each other shine.
Step 4. Work with a creative visual artist on the original artwork packaging.
Step 5. Make potentially unwise financial decisions on how deluxe we can make the record.
What music genres do you feature?
Vinyl Moon doesn't stick to any specific genres – meaning you can expect a wide range of great music. You can expect a varieties of indie rock, dance, electronic, hip hop, folk, and more.
You wont find much hard rock, jazz, metal, or rap.
Do you pay the artists?
Absolutely. Supporting the artists we love is at the core of Vinyl Moon's spirit.
We license all the songs directly from the bands (or their labels) and pay them directly.
The same for the visual artists we work with. That collaboration is much more complex and we pay for their beautiful and creative artwork for our records.
What about “explicit” language?
Do the records have warnings? Beeps?
While there may be the occasional “bad” word in the lyrics of a Vinyl Moon song, we don’t give any more or less weighting to songs with potentially offensive material. Everyone has a different definition of “explicit”. We are not the morality police and don’t believe in censoring the artists music. However, every record includes a booklet with lyrics and that makes a good resource for pre-screening any language.
What if I don't like my first record?
If you don't love your first record from Vinyl Moon, simply contact us at support(at)vinylmoon.co and we will swap it out for a different record or give you a full refund - no questions asked.
VM Club Waitlist
New spots will be available after all our members renew and we know how many spots we have left.
Waitlist members are not guaranteed spots, but we will notify you ahead of time when new spots will be opened. Once you've joined this notification list you do not need to re-join for future months.
If you have any questions, please email us at support AT vinylmoon.co
