Everything sounds better on vinyl. We really believe that. Wait – record scratch – let’s spin things back. Before we get started, we want to make one thing clear: we’re not a bunch of music snobs. We’re listeners, not hoarders. Selectors over collectors. At Mercury Recalls, we’re a series of spaces made for music lovers: bar, café, event venue, record store, listening booths, and plenty more. It’s a place that echoes our passion for good tunes. Lo-fi vibes with hi-fi intentions. A shrine to our deep love for vinyl. Because whatever you might think of the nostalgic trend, to us, those big plastic discs are like little slices of magic in an otherwise ordinary world. We see them as music most pure, recorded as the artist intended. When that needle drops, we celebrate its sounds, connect with its emotions – instantly transported as we reflect on good times past. Hypnotized by the turntable, spinning us round, baby, right round. If only life’s finest moments were so easily recalled. But then again, why can’t they be? Here, amongst our aural setups, our memories shape the sounds streaming from station to station. You’ll hear it resound in every corner of our space: acoustics adapted to DJ beats in the main room, or that jazz record on-rotation booming through your booth headphones. It seeps its way out of speakers, singing sweetly like an earworm into life’s many joys. They say passions are best shared, so why not bring out the best of everything? It’s all music to our ears, and to our other senses. Because as obsessive as we are with our tunes, we’re just as enthusiastic about our menus. Surrounded by sounds, we connect soothing sensory experiences with culinary counterparts, through the familiar comforts of simple, honest dishes and damn good drinks. Consider it something for everyone: come early for a beer or cocktail, stay a while for snacks and supper, and then groove into the small hours. Think a heady playlist you’re likely never to forget, mixing Tokyo listening bars, pre-prohibition cocktail diners, age-old record stores, and an intoxicated afterparty where the DJ is straight fire. You’re hovering somewhere near Mercury. For us, it’s all in the service of unifying communities through the culture of sound. We believe in building communal bridges, through workshops, meet-and-greets, moderated talks and more – experiences where popular and underground musicians connect with fans old and new. But we’re also just a place to hang out, let loose, take a load off – safe spaces to comfortably rub shoulders and share those essential deep cuts. Because music has an incredible ability to mirror our collective journeys, enabling us to reflect everything that’s beautiful in our world and recall it all at the drop of a needle. Deep grooves set in the vinyl records of our years. Crackling imperfections that come to define the soundtracks of our lives. At Mercury Recalls, our compound masterfully curates playlists of sounds, flavours and communities, so that passions are ignited, people are inspired, and experiences forever recalled.
