Vinyl collectors often say nothing compares to the warm, rich sound of a record player. Even if you’re not an audiophile, there’s something undeniably classy about enjoying your favourite tracks the old-school way. If you’ve always dreamed of owning your very own vinyl, here’s your chance. ART/ST Records at Katong offers a unique DIY experience where you can design, customise, and press a fully functional vinyl EP from scratch.
ART/ST Records (pronounced “artist records”) is a cozy home studio in Katong that specialises in lathe-cut vinyl records. The studio is open from Fridays to Sundays and operates strictly by appointment.
Private Workshop (2.5–3 hours) – SG$388 for up to 2 people. You’ll get to customise and watch your own EP being made. Additional discs cost SG$100 each.
Live Demo Experience (1.5–2 hours) – SG$238 per person. A simpler, more affordable session that focuses on cutting your record without extra design customisation. Fits up to 4 participants.
Both experiences let you take home your very own 8-inch square record, ready to play on your turntable.
Opening Hours: Fridays to Sundays, by appointment only
Price: From SG$238–SG$388 per person/session
Duration: 1.5–3 hours depending on workshop type
During the workshop, you’ll watch your EP being cut from start to finish. Beforehand, prepare your audio files — this can be anything from an original song to a sentimental voice recording. The only requirement: each track must be under 7 minutes long.
Private Workshop attendees also get to design their EP covers. Bring along personal photos, artwork, or cut-outs to incorporate into your design. Materials like acrylic paint, markers, stickers, and even an Instax printer are provided to help bring your creativity to life.
At the end, you’ll have not only a playable vinyl but also a piece of art that’s uniquely yours.
We love how ART/ST Records turns music into memory. It’s not just about walking away with a vinyl, it’s about creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake that’s meaningful, fun, and beautifully personal. The mix of creativity, nostalgia, and hands-on involvement makes this such a special experience.
What makes ART/ST Records stand out is the intimate, hands-on experience. Unlike buying a record off the shelf, you’re directly involved in the creative process — from choosing your audio, to designing your cover, to watching the record being cut. It’s equal parts music, craft, and nostalgia.
This experience also makes for a memorable date activity, a unique gift idea, or even a keepsake for special occasions (imagine pressing your wedding vows or a baby’s first words onto vinyl!). ART/ST Records is currently one of the only studios in Singapore offering this kind of personal vinyl-making experience, making it a true gem for both music lovers and creatives.
