I love record stores – both physical as well-curated online ones. Place me in a new city and the first thing I do is look for the record shops. Although physical formats keep getting more expensive, there’s no match to a humanly curated selection of music to browse through. You can’t understate the importance of recordshop within the ecosystem so find a list below. Please get in touch if you want to tip others!

Rush Hour
Amsterdam, NL | Home of topo2’s vinyl distribution and probably the shop where I bought most of my records. Broad selection, kind people, lovely shop.

Gent, BE | Lovely people that run an unparalleled selection of ambient, electronics, experimental and other dreamy stuff. A lot of music that you can’t buy easily other places.
