About Us
NYLVI is a marketplace for buying and selling vinyl records, structured to reflect the world's major music scenes. We want to make it possible for people to discover local music on vinyl in order to support local independent artists, labels and record stores.
Our Ideals and Values
Our core values are equal to the values and ideas of the local independent record store: knowledge, enthusiasm and love of music, support of artists and musical communities, and contribution to local variations and musical diversity.
It's All About Vinyl Records
NYLVI is focused exclusively on vinyl records. We believe the vinyl format is highly compatible with the digital future of the music industry, and offers a listening experience that cannot be matched by any other format.
Open, Fair and Participatory
We are committed to creating an open, fair and participatory service. All members are treated equally and are given the same opportunities to promote themselves and benefit from the service.
Supporting Local Music Scenes
NYLVI is situated at the junction between local and international, and will be a place to discover music from around the globe by drawing on specialist knowledge from within local scenes. By structuring our service to reflect the world's major music scenes and the activities taking place therein, we believe we have found a great way to support independent artists and scene participants, and to make local musical innovation available globally.
NYLVI is a service operated by FAV Labs, a Norwegian company co-founded by Henning Kjølgård, Ivar Lien, Thomas Stenumgård and George Graham on February 1, 2008.
