There are only a few things more iconic than the boombox - before portable speakers, before the ipod, before the Walkman and MP3 players there was the boombox. The boombox played a pivotal part in the gap between the home stereo and the portable walkman and it did certainly did it with style.

The GB-001 brings the boombox into a whole new era. Inspired by the iconic ‘80s design, this neo-retro gem is packed with cutting-edge technology. Following the success of the WE-001 cassette player, it arrives just in time — with cassette sales skyrocketing by over 400% in the past decade — to bring analog sound roaring back.
With 104 watts of power delivered through four Hi-Fi speakers(two woofers for deep bass, two tweeters for crisp highs), the GB-001 turns any space into a full-on concert hall. It plays and records both Type I and Type II cassettes with a premium-grade mechanism, and an adjustable motor for ultra-stable playback.
But this boombox is more than a retro revival — it’s fully modern: Bluetooth 5.4, a rechargeable and replaceable battery, microphone input, fine-tuned sound controls(bass, treble, balance),backlit VU meters, and even an amp function for your guitar. Ready for a rap battle or a karaoke night? Plug in two wireless mics and put on a show.

PHOEBE BRIDGERS is a singer-songwriter from Pasadena, CA. Beloved in equal measure for her deceptively subtle voice and her meticulous, incisive lyrics, her solo records Stranger in the Alps (2017) and Punisher (2020) have been accompanied by a number of collaborations, including the supergroup boygenius, with whom Bridgers won three Grammys for 2023’s the record. Her songs are hallmarked by a kind of intimacy that’s hard-found in contemporary music, and scale between the macro and the micro with an ease that’s matched only by her towering, prodigious way with words.

Frozen Charlotte - the 7th studio album from Jack White shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at his best; backed by an incredible band (Patrick Keeler on drums, Dominic Davis on bass, Bobby Emmett on keys) whose collective hand is scorching hot after coming off a tour of universally-acclaimed performances. Instead of resting on a “job well done”, they went straight to work in the studio and laid down what became Frozen Charlotte.
Recorded in White's Third Man Studio in Nashville, this album shows Jack carrying on the same raucous, raw, and frenetic energy from his lauded 2024 album, No Name. 13 tracks of distinct feel and tone, Frozen Charlotte is an intense rock and roll punch with never far behind blues underpinnings... all of which fits right at home with long time fans while leaving an inviting open door to newcomers alike.
