TRIBE Releases NEW GROUNDS

Following the launch of TRIBE Vinyl Club in April, design-led hotel brand TRIBE is unveiling its first-ever vinyl release, NEW GROUNDS – a double LP created in collaboration with Radio Nova and released in a limited run of 1,000 copies worldwide.

Designed to bring music back into the centre of hotel social spaces, TRIBE Vinyl Club introduces dedicated vinyl listening stations across selected TRIBE addresses, from Paris to London, Düsseldorf and Budapest. Guests can explore curated vinyl collections within hotel lounges, transforming music from background ambience into a more intentional and shared cultural experience.

Each participating TRIBE hotel has partnered with local independent record stores, allowing them to connect more deeply with their local cultural scenes through initiatives such as live music showcases, artist meet-and-greets, community discussions, listening sessions, and vinyl sales. Selected record stores also feature TRIBE listening stations, including Major Tom at Ground Control in Paris, Tiki Vinyl Store in Lyon, and Rough Trade East in London, where visitors can discover and purchase copies of NEW GROUNDS alongside curated vinyl selections .

Conceived as a sonic journey shaped by movement, exploration and connection, NEW GROUNDS translates the rhythm of travel into music. Structured across four sides — Unveil, Discover, Connect, Drift — the record mirrors the natural progression of a journey, from arrival and discovery through to connection and escape.

The double LP brings together artists spanning generations, genres, and geographies, including Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Brian Eno & John Cale,Danny Brown, Martina Topley-Bird, and Khruangbin.

Each side features an unreleased track created exclusively for TRIBE, giving the record a rare and collectible dimension. These exclusive productions include IS THIS LOVE? by Principles of Joy, CAROUSEL by Hendrix Harris, SANS SOLEIL (DESERTED ISLAND NEW GROUNDS REMIX) by Golden Bug, and IMPOSSIBLE LOVE by Get A Room! & Paprika Kinski - reflecting a different emotional moment within the journey imagined through NEW GROUNDS.

“Too often, music in hotels becomes something people hear, but never really engage with,” said Jean-Yves Minet, Global Brand President, TRIBE. “New Grounds is our clearest statement yet that social spaces should have a soul, and that a hotel can be a genuine cultural destination. TRIBE Vinyl Club was created to bring music back into the centre of social spaces, not as background, but as something people actively engage with. NEW GROUNDS isn’t an amenity, it’s a point of view”.

Lawrence Montgomery, Managing Director at Rough Trade, says: “What makes vinyl culture special is the sense of discovery and connection that comes with it. People are not just listening to music — they are spending time with it, sharing recommendations, and exploring artists and sounds they might never have encountered otherwise. It is exciting to see hospitality engaging with music culture in a way that is connected to local creative communities”.

The official launch of NEW GROUNDS will take place on 28 May 2026 at TRIBE London Canary Wharf, bringing together music lovers, creatives and the local community for an evening of vinyl-only DJ sets and live performances.

NEW GROUNDS will be available to purchase at select TRIBE hotels and partner record stores across Europe and beyond.
