Both Boutique and Music Store is there. “Life is in contrast to the establishment.” This is a very important concept to tell BOTH keywords.

On one side of the small road that runs around the central Red Town lawn is a sleek boutique selling mostly men’s fashion items, homewares and accessories; on the other is a small cafe and bar combining an eclectic mix of music, art, and photography, it’s a hidden haven for beat-makers and audiophiles in Shanghai who want to relax to a curated selection of Vinyl’s funk, soul, jazz, and hip-hop.

The space is rather compact and is beautifully designed. During the day, café-goers can browse the inspiration books upstairs, or preview records on in-store turntable. The shop’s Vinyl’s music selection is curated by Both’s Kobayashi Yoshiharu, a Nagoya native whose passion for obscure records is evident when browsing the walls.

Kobayashi travels to Japan and the U.S. regularly to bring records back to the café. At night, Both Music becomes a venue that hosts weekly DJ workshops, discussion forums with musicians, music groups of all genres  and film screenings.
