One of the many excellent record stores in Amerikamura, Groovenut has been going strong since 2010. Its shelves are stacked with everything from well-recognised to ultra-rare releases in genres including – but not limited to – soul, funk, jazz, disco, hip hop and Latin. American pressings make up the bulk of the selection. The funkiest section is dedicated to rare groove, with LPs plus 7-inch and 12-inch singles awaiting samplers and aspiring trackmakers. The clientele includes plenty of DJs and other professionals, but that doesn’t mean you have to be an expert on vinyl to feel at ease in the shop; the friendly staff are happy to answer any questions and can help you look for specific records.
