THE 18 RECORD SHOPS
Oslo has grown into one of Europe's smartest small scenes.
Oslo's record scene is small but has grown fast. Big Dipper on Grünerløkka and Filthy Records anchor the dance side. Neseblod Records is the world's essential Norwegian black-metal counter. Råkk & Rolls handles the second-hand generalist end.
The country's small pressing industry and healthy public-funding for music mean local releases press well and travel far. Blå and Jaeger anchor the night listening. Walkable, easy, seriously curated.
THE FIVE ROOMS

Long-running second-hand generalist — rock, prog, jazz. The Oslo default first stop.

Curated new-and-used — indie, folk, jazz. The tastemaker counter.
