Minting April 11th

BLOND:ISH partnered up with vinyl R&D experts at Evolution Music & Deep Grooves the greenest pressing plant in activity, to produce the world’s first biodegradable vinyl.

"Life is..." is the opening song from #PlasticFreeParty, the 14-track compilation BLOND:ISH released on her label ABRACADABRA.

Made using naturally occurring bacteria to build a plastic replication, this vinyl is entirely bio based, and biodegradable in any environment, including the ocean.

Evolution Music based their R&D on already existing pressing machinery rather than building a new system to ease mass adoption & mass replacement of the detrimental PVC vinyl material. This allows for existing press factory to be able to transition to greener systems smoothly.

For all you audiophiles wondering if it sounds as good a plastic vinyl? Well we’re happy to say we’ve finally perfected the sound after 4 years of tweaks.

Let's evolve together!

Does the bio vinyl sound good ?

Yes! Innovating a bio vinyl was actually not so hard, because nature can mimic other materials, but getting the actual sound of the record to portray its full spectrum like its plastic fossil fuel counterpart was the challenge, but WE DID IT!!!

Does the bio vinyl need new machinery to press it, or can this new material be used in existing vinyl pressing machinery?

In addition to finding a plastic free material, one of the goals we wanted to figure out, is to actually come up with a product that can be mass adopted for actual change, otherwise it just becomes a novelty item. Yes, this PHA bacteria based material can be used with existing machinery.

How do I know if the bio vinyl has already been pre-ordered when buying the NFT of the secondary market ?

We are listing the token ids of all the NFT that have already pre-ordered on this webpage, so that you can check if the NFT you are about to buy on the secondary market will come with its bio vinyl or not!
