In the summer of 2016, New York City lost a beloved and influential hub of independent music culture. Other Music — located in Manhattan's East Village — was more than just a store that sold CDs, records, tapes and magazines. It was a place where bands were formed, record labels were born and careers were launched. And it was THE place where a generation of New Yorkers at the dawn of the Internet age went to discover groundbreaking music by artists who would go on to become household names and underground icons. However, in the changing face of the music industry, the legendary store closed its doors in 2016.
Directors Puloma Basu and Rob Hatch-Miller, an ex-employee of Other Music confess “they both learned a lot about music, were introduced to New York City culture, and gained a second family in a daunting new city." They say they are honored to be able to tell the story of a place that was so special to us and to our life in New York City, as it was to so many other people around the world.
