For The Record – Vinyl Bar x Aqua, THE Park Bangalore Pop-up: Unveiling the Extraordinary Fusion of Flavors

THE Park Bangalore is thrilled to announce "For The Record – Vinyl Bar x Aqua, THE Park Bangalore," an exciting pop-up happening from July 12th to July 14th, 2023, exclusively at Aqua, THE Park Bangalore. This three-day extravaganza is dedicated to exploring the world of culinary transformation, curated and led by Buland, the visionary Founder of For The Record - Vinyl Bar, Goa.

Buland's expertise in India's vinyl bar scene is widely recognized, and his passion extends beyond music to the art of creating memorable dining experiences. His innovative approach to fermentation aims to infuse dishes with unique flavor profiles that defy expectations. Drawing inspiration from his fondness for slow cocktails, Buland seamlessly combines culinary expertise with spirits, resulting in libations that are both intricate and comforting.

"We are quite excited to collaborate with THE Park Bangalore, a brand which is known for its spark and commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for their guests. My passion for fermentation is all about infusing flavors that are subtly distinctive yet warmly familiar. We will also be introducing our concept of slow cocktails, where spirits undergo various culinary-inspired processes, resulting in complex yet comforting sips every time. Together with THE Park Bangalore, I look forward to introducing the people of Bangalore to this extraordinary fusion of flavors."

"This three-day event, in collaboration with For The Record - Vinyl Bar, is a celebration of the unique and captivating flavors of fermented food and beverages. Fermentation, a natural process driven by beneficial bacteria, yeast, or fungi, not only preserves ingredients but also unlocks a wealth of complex flavors, textures, and aromas. While fermented foods have a long history across cultures, FTR's innovative approach introduces novel combinations and techniques, resulting in dishes that captivate and surprise. We aim to redefine the boundaries of culinary excellence and immerse our guests in a multisensory journey."

More About Buland and his venture For The Record - Vinyl Bar 

Buland has been involved in the world of vinyl for quite a few years now. He also founded Audiophile Goa, a store for everything to do with analogue audio. Buland is an Architect and a Gypsy Jazz musician who started this space with the aim to provide the ultimate music experience for listeners. With this aim, he also designs and builds tube-based amplifiers and speakers. The quest for spreading awareness about this lovely analogue format of music led him to start India's very first Vinyl Bar. 

The concept of this vinyl bar is based on the Vinyl Bars of Tokyo. A small intimate space to enjoy the music and some local spirits and brews. There is a twist though, we have specially handcrafted a vacuum tube HiFi system for the space which gives an unbeatable experience to the customer. If one looks at our menu, it is easy to notice our fondness for Goa's indigenous spirit, Feni. We have designed a range of cocktails that pleases the regulars as well as first-time consumers of this delicious and highly underrated spirit. Apart from that, we focus only on Indian Craft spirits and brews.
