Spincoaster Music Bar
The room
Spincoaster’s original Shinjuku music bar brings records and high-resolution digital playback into the same room. It sits within a wider Tokyo family that includes Ebisu and Kagurazaka, whose DJ-oriented and cassette-based approaches offer different ways of listening. Each branch has its own equipment identity.
