About us

Our little record store is located in the Jordaan, an old part of the center of Amsterdam. We are focussed mainly on selling music released on vinyl, although we also sell CD\'s. We like to call ourselves an independent record store. The music we sell ranges from seventies punk rock, jazz, funk, soul, latin, soundtracks, through lo-fi, indie, noise, garage and industrial, to eighties and nineties indie, electro, hip hop and reggae, ending up in break beats, drum&bass and house. We sell new and second-hand. And we have many Collectors as well.
