‘Move The Record’, a global initiative to support local record shops, returns for series of events

Move the Record, a global initiative to support independent record shops during the pandemic, is returning for another edition from Thursday 1st July.

Launched in 2020 in response to the uncertain future and economic strain faced by record stores, the series invites residents and special guests to play a string of streams from different stores around the world, with a view to driving online sales and footfalls to shops that can open. 

Over four 6-hour broadcasts, taking place in London, Berlin, Birmingham, Bucharest, Montreal, Barcelona and many more cities, DJs and artists will take the controls, including Prosumer, Carista, San Proper, Willow, Anna Wall, Jus-Ed and many more.

Supporters can also contribute and buy merch via a Crowdfunder, with 100% of proceeds to be split evenly across the stores.
