Tiny Vinyl is a new pocketable record format for the Spotify age

Posted on by

In 2019, Record Store Day partnered with manufacturer Crosley to revive a 3-inch collectible vinyl format first launched in Japan in 2004. Five years later, a new 4-inch-sized format called Tiny Vinyl wants to take the miniature vinyl collectible crown, and launch partner Target is throwing its considerable weight behind it as an exclusive launch partner, with 44 titles expected in the coming weeks.

It’s 2025, and the global vinyl record market has reached $2 billion in annual sales and is still growing at roughly 7 percent annually, according to market research firm Imarc. Vinyl record sales now account for over 50 percent of physical media sales for music (and this is despite a recent resurgence in both cassette and CD sales among Millennials). It’s in this landscape that Tiny Vinyl founders Neil Kohler and Jesse Mann decided to come up with a fun new collectible vinyl format.

An “aha” moment

Kohler’s day job is working with toy companies to develop and market their ideas. He was involved in helping Funko popularize its stylized vinyl figurines, now a ubiquitous presence at pop culture conventions, comic book stores, and toy shops of all kinds. Mann has worked in production, marketing, and the music business for nearly three decades, including a stint at LiveNation and years of running operations for the annual summer music festival Bonnaroo. Both men are based in Nashville—Music City, USA—and the proximity to one of the main centers of the music industry clearly had an impact.

‘VEX MAGE’ Combines Spellcasting and Co-op Arena Action on Quest & PC VR Next Month

Posted on by

Nervous Systems and Fast Travel Games announced that VEX MAGE is coming to Quest and PC VR headsets next month, bringing spellcasting abilities to Quake-style arenas.

Vex Mage is all about fast-twitch shooting action, albeit with the ability to cast (and combine) magical elements, such as magma, lightning, and water.

But it’s not only defensive: magical spells let you move around the arena too, letting you execute some high-flying rocket jumps using your various spells. Check out the demo gameplay below:

Here’s how Nervous Systems describes it:

Twin elements. Infinite momentum. Danger from every direction. Merge spells, cross dimensions, and dance through deadly arenas in this lightning-fast shooter. Alone or together – Claim your immortality on cross-platform leaderboards. Your name is eternal.

What’s more, the game’s campaign lets you go solo, or squad up with two other players to take on the hordes in co-op mode.

You can pre-order Vex Mage on the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and above, launching October 16th for $10. You can also wishlist on on Steam, which will include both flatscreen and PC VR gameplay, coming October 21st.

In the meantime, you can also play the free demo, which you’ll find linked to the store pages above.
