Bringing vintage beats back to life

Introducing Revibed, a pioneering online music store focussed on digital reissues, developed specifically to bring your favourite old-school jams back from the brink of obscurity.


Revibed is a Belgium-based music start-up on a mission to revive forgotten vibes.

We’ve witnessed first hand how, over the years, a lot of the older music we love has become extremely hard to find and/or unaffordable to most people. On top of that, being brought out on vinyl or cassette means that these original works will not be around forever.

So, in 2021, we set out to digitally preserve our global musical heritage and change the music industry for (the) good.

From the very beginning, our mission has always been to breathe new life into forgotten releases and give the original artists fair pay for their work. And today, after years of testing and development, we're thrilled to inform you that the next chapter in your musical journey is finally here.

Start using Revibed today and join a passionate community of thousands of music collectors, curators, DJs, and diggers from all over the globe to discover (and help uncover) some of the most stellar sounds ever created.


The Revibed platform consists of 2 main parts

Are you looking for great grooves from years gone by? Check out Revibed’s ‘Buy Now’ section, a carefully curated online music store where you can discover and browse through a stunning selection of unique releases that were (usually) never issued in a digital format before. Get your releases now.

Can’t find what you’re searching for? Then the ‘Pre-Order’ section is there to help. Through this highly innovative and fan-powered model, you can start and join on-demand digitisation projects by the Revibed community, effectively giving every music lover out there the power to bring back their favourite tunes. Explore our pre-orders here.


So, how do Pre-Orders work?

Step 1: Rally the Troops. Start or join a pre-order project for a release you would love to see getting a digital reissue. Once the pre-order has gathered enough fan support, the project is successful and moves to the next step.

If you want to know more about this first step in the pre-ordering process, check out the FAQ section.

Step 2: To the Lab. The physical medium is acquired by Revibed and sent to our German sound lab for a thorough quality inspection and deep cleaning to prepare for restoration.

Step 3: Sound Check. Our engineers work their magic, meticulously restoring and remastering the original songs to audiophile perfection.

Step 4: Get Your Tunes. A pristine digital copy of the reissued album or EP lands in your inbox, ready for you to enjoy.

Once a release is successfully digitised, the digital copies are first exclusively available to those who pre-ordered – a little ‘thank you’ for believing in the power of the music. After three months, the reissue then hits the Revibed online store, ready for everyone to enjoy. So whether you're an early bird or fashionably late to the party, there's always an opportunity to get into the groove.
