The most stylish record shop in Paris is in the 18th arrondissement
Decidedly, after Dizonord and its success beyond the borders of France, the 18th district seems to be the undisputed and unavoidable den of good record shops in Paris. Yoyaku Record Shop is much more than just a record shop: it’s a veritable institution for electronic music fans. With an impressive collection of over 10,000 second-hand records and a recently expanded 600-square-meter space, it has gradually become a must for fans of house, techno, minimal and many other electronic genres.
Affiliated with several sub-labels such as Aku, Hostom and Joule Imprint, the store reflects the label’s sonic identity: cutting-edge, innovative music aimed at DJs and enlightened amateurs alike. All records are mastered and distributed in-house, guaranteeing impeccable sound quality. The icing on the cake: Yoyaku has been open 7 days a week since December. This is the perfect opportunity to visit the shop’s extension, a new space in the basement. With its futuristic allure, it looks like something straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
All in all, there are a thousand reasons to visit Yoyaku for its incredible collection and unusual decor!
