The Vinyl Frontier
In 2014 I proposed an idea to Red Bull Belgium. Why not interview record collectors at home, close to their precious collections, to give readers a look into the private lives of these black gold lovers? This resulted in printing the book ‘Belgium: The Vinyl Frontier’, for which photographer Thomas Sweertvaegher joined me as a fly on the wall. Later we started a website, leading up to about 45 interviews and hundreds of pictures. In 2019 Red Bull decided to end 'The Vinyl Frontier', moving a selection of the interviews to their central 'Red Bull Belgium' platform.
