Spinning more than just records, Vinyl Souk is shaking up Dubai’s music scene with events, local releases, and a deep dive into the UAE’s underground sound.
Veralkar, alongside his wife Serina Pinheiro, is the co-founder of Vinyl Souk, a fast-growing Dubai-based organization committed to cementing a grassroots scene for musical acts and record collectors across the UAE region. Established in April 2023, it combines vinyl fairs, curated events, live performances, new artist showcases, and educational initiatives, with an overall goal of helping local artists and musical fans kickstart their obsessions. It’s geared around eradicating the feeling you might have to move from Dubai to another country just to encounter a tangible music scene.
