Electronic Vinyl Records
Electronic music basically invented the idea that a record could be made by anyone with the right machines and enough nerve. Kraftwerk drew the blueprint; Detroit techno (Juan Atkins, Derrick May) and Chicago house built the dancefloor; Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada made it cerebral; and the 12-inch single — the format this whole world runs on — turned the DJ into an artist. We stock it deep, on the format it was meant for.
What You'll Find Here
Techno, house, ambient, IDM, electro, synth-pop and more — with a serious 12-inch single section, because that's the electronic-music currency. DJs, this is your aisle; everyone else, the ambient and IDM end rewards a home listen too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there so many 12-inch singles in electronic?
Because the 12-inch is the format of dance music — louder cuts, extended mixes, and DJ-ready pressings. It's where a huge amount of techno and house only ever appeared.
Do you stock current electronic releases?
Yes, plus reissues of the canon. The genre moves fast, so new 12-inches and LPs come through regularly.
Is ambient in here too?
It is — the quieter, headphones end of electronic lives here alongside the dancefloor stuff. Brian Eno through Boards of Canada and beyond.
