Phonica Records
London is the deepest record-shop city on earth. Phonica is the door.
Nowhere else has London's combination of density, depth and scene literacy. Phonica is the canonical Soho entry point.
Why Phonica
Phonica curates the global dance conversation — house, techno, disco, jazz, broken beat, the lot — without the snobbery. Listening posts always free, recommendations always honest.
What to dig for
Current dance 12-inches, jazz reissues, UK leftfield. Phonica's in-house labels and recommends shelf are a reliable shortcut.
After Phonica
Soho strip: Sounds of the Universe, Sister Ray, Reckless. Then east for Kristina Records (Stoke Newington) and Eldica (Dalston). South for Rye Wax (Peckham) and Pure Vinyl (Brixton).
