London record shops (electronic, ambient, idm)

Was wondering if anyone has some tips for some record shops in London with a big collection of electronic music. 

Is Berwick st. the place to be?  

 

 

Soho fer sure.

 

Sister Ray

Sounds of the Universe

Vinyl Factory

Phonica

Reckless

 

Rough Trade East (if you're up for a trip down to Brick Lane)

 

Lobster Theremin just opened a physical store as well, so maybe worth a look:

That guy has a shop tucked away in Hackney wick called Vinyl Pimp, lots of rare idm stuff although pricey. Seems to have loads of planet mu white label test pressings at the moment

yea great shop, they sometimes have the odd ae record hanging around so it's always worth a shot. lots of jungle, too

 

Honest Jon's is also worth checking out if you're into basic channel/maurizio/that sort of thing

Alas that place is no more ... Wandered up and down Berwick St. and the neighboring roads as I could've sworn it was somewhere nearby - Finally figured out the building size/shape of a Paperchase shop was now taking up that space :(

 

Think Reckless has taken some of their stock, some of them have the descriptions written on labels that I think were something Sister Ray used to do...

OH MY GOD....... I, I just don't .... What the hell was wrong with me that day ?! Pretty sure I stared at that shop front as well and just thought: 'That can't be the same shop ... it's all gone small'

 

Fucking hell.

Yeah it's gone small but there's still a decent load of records downstairs, still worth a look. It did used to be where paperchase is now but they moved across the road a few years ago

same here lol, walked right past it when I went there a few years ago. Most of the records are in the basement now

Used to have a really good 'ambient/drone/weird' section (their name !), hope that's still the case !

Can confirm, the LP dungeon is still pretty good

Pour one out for your homie, RIP Sister Ray.
