From the owner: Walrus c'est un disquaire café dans le 10ème arrondissement de Paris…read more Un lieu d'échange que nous souhaitons ouvert à tous : badauds, curieux et passionnés mais aussi aux artistes à travers showcases, dédicaces et rencontres. Un lieu de rencontre plus qu'un lieu de consommation unique ! On peut se procurer chez Walrus, des disques neufs en CD et vinyle (Pop, rock, folk indépendant en majorité mais pas que...), des livres, des sacs, des tee-shirts, des posters et sérigraphies de concerts, des platines... Chez Walrus on peut boire du bon café, du Club Mate, du Fritz Kola, de l'apfelschorle, des limo' artisanales super bonnes et aussi des jus. A la pression de la Grolsch et de la Brooklyn (oui mais de la IPA !).

Best record buying experience in Paris. Are you looking for original pressings? Hard to find or…read morerare LPs... this is the spot. The prices are a little high, but everything is in great condition... and it's a brick and mortar shop... I don't mind paying a little extra for the experience of digging and finding something "in the wild" that I've been searching for. The owner was amazing. Such a nice guy... you can tell he's liked in community around him as well. People walking by waved to him and he had a couple friends stop by who were also super friendly. We talked music and travel. I highly recommend the shop. Go in. Buy some records. Talk. Hang out. Good stuff.

Not much time to browse, since the owner, also the one who assists you.. gets to the point and asks what you looking for and gives you the specifics on what you went in for.

Every visit we find numerous resources and we used to carry them home until the luggage was just getting unmanageable, shipping is so much easier.

Fortunately they is a nice little cafe across the street for me to get refreshed while my chef partner spends a few hours reviewing all they have to offer. Simply a wonderful escape for a couple hours!

In general, I didn't have much success in my record shopping Paris. Silence de la Rue was one of…read morethe few stores where I purchased something. It's a good-sized store, though not nearly as big as it should be for the amount of stock they have. This was very much my biggest pet peeve here. All the bins were stuffed full to the point where you could not flip at all. It meant pulling several records out of each row everytime you wanted to browse through. But this was worth doing in that their selection was strong across many genres. I ended up walking away with a cool Tighten up collection. Otherwise, I would say pricing and service were about average here compared to other stores I visited. That is to say, records were priced fairly and the staff let you do your thing without too much fuss. Check it out if you're in the area!

A LEGENDARY SHOP The…read morefact that Maz opened his shop in the Bastille area to start his revolution is probably no accident. The story starts in 1992 when Maz and friends start unofficially dealing hardcore and trance records. At this time the techno revolution is starting to shake the underground culture in France and Europe, free parties and raves are thriving illegally thanks to mythic collectives like Spiral Tribe or Heretik System. The shop has been a meeting point for Djs and ravers since then and the independent and underground spirit is still intact, a nice exotic smell near the back door will often remind it. The choice of vinyls is huge, particularly for those who are not afraid of digging into the mountains of boxes. There are new arrivals every day, and you can spend as much time as you want listening to crates and cds. The store is not managed like a standard record store, you will probably not find classics as they are sold out and have not been reordered, but the beauty is that you can find old and new rarities from big and small labels and make very good bargains on old stuff (prices start at 3€!). The choice of cds is limited, but, again, new arrivals are frequent so you've got to try and go often. All electronic music styles are represented but the selection is particularly broad in Hard Core and Trance for obvious historical reasons. An online store exists with mainly new stuff and no mp3's (http://techno-import.fr/shop/index.php). Bonus : watch this commercial from 1996 ... funny!...http://www.ina.fr/video/PUB487249064/techno-import.fr.html Check my blog for more cool spots... L.

Great record store in Paris, France!…read more My wife and I were seeking out a few good record stores in Paris and ended up here. It's a good size store with a lot of stock and selection. My French is beginner level at best, so I didn't mingle with the staff very much, but I am sure they would have been helpful if I had needed assistance, as pretty much everywhere we went the French people were very friendly and kind. The store is a bit unusual in that it has two store fronts. Pretty cool and unique. The store has a really cool vibe and I would urge you to stop in and pay them a visit should you ever be in The City Of Lights! Then after you shop here, go get some Macarons!
