Arlanoa (@arlanoa.st) has two loves: electronic music and collecting records. This French DJ and producer chose to settle in Berlin, where he founded the Supertonic collective, known for its vibrant and euphoric parties. When he takes control of the turntables, he immerses us in an intoxicating mix where house, trance, breakbeat, and various other rhythms blend harmoniously.
During our last Picante event, while enjoying some natural wines, we had the chance to ask this vinyl aficionado about his favorite record stores in Berlin. Here’s what he had to say:
Located near Ostkreuz, this is one of my favorite record stores. They sort the records very accurately, and you’ll find a lot of subgenre crates like progressive trance, hard house, etc. Plus, the owner is really friendly!
Located in Neukölln near the canal, this intimate record store offers a wide range of genres, with a particularly strong electronic music curation. The owner is friendly too!
This one is kind of an institution, but I think it still deserves its place. The assortment is huge, as is the store itself. Don’t go there for the prices (they are on the high end); go there for the vibe.
