Doctor Vinyl is a counterweight, a place for outsiders or a collection of unloved records since its opening in
1997. With the digital music revolution, online shopping and the closure of many record stores, Doctor Vinyl was able to stay relevant by actually not changing much. The shop somehow still is this weird and fun home for outsider dance music and has only become stronger building on know-how and expertise the older it gets.

Opening up shop in 2021, the store run by duo Max and Quentin joins the ever-growing number of record
