Superfly Records
Paris is quietly one of the world's great rare-groove cities.
France's record stores skew global — strong on Afro, Caribbean, Brazilian and rare groove, with a serious electronic underpinning. Start in the 10e.
Why Superfly
Superfly built its reputation on funk and soul rarities and has stayed honest through every wave of reissue mania. Originals, reissues, edits — all curated by people who play them.
What to dig for
African and Caribbean originals, French library, Brazilian and rare jazz. The Paris market has a French-Caribbean depth nowhere else has.
After Superfly
