Butter Beats

I’m no DJ, in fact I don’t even own a record player, but there’s something so good about flicking your fingers through a stack of old records. Butter Beats is a place where you can certainly do this. My most recent visit was for nothing in particular, but it was just nice to wander through the small store and reminisce about Dad’s record collection and some of the weird stuff we used to listen to.
The walls of the shop are stocked floor to ceiling with spray paint cans in every colour imaginable. I’m not sure what the connection is between music and spray paint. Anarchy? Art? I don’t know, but it’s effective nonetheless.
If you’re looking for a hard to find vinyl, in need of a new band T-​shirt or just keen for chat about great music with one of the knowledgeable (yet very cool and intimidating looking) staff, then head into Butter Beats next time you’re in the city.

Butter Beats has it going on. If the buttery store sign isn’t enough to entice you inside, then the rows and rows of records and music will. Welcome to a music library where the records are plenty and hard-​to-​find music is actually not so hard to find. Thanks goodness!
This place is a music lover’s ultimate dream with a collection you can get lost in and pore over for hours upon end. It’s obvious that this place lives and breathes an intense love for music, and you’ll find anything you desire from 80s rock to modern pop and hip hop. No holds barred!
They’re hidden away on an upper level in Broadway on the Mall, so make the trip up and grace yourself with a new lover in the form of endless music choices.
