Our story

Born in the dust of the bins.

DEADWAX is named for the quiet stretch of smooth vinyl at the very end of a record, the last thing you hear before the needle lifts.

We are an independent shop built by people who would rather spend a Saturday flipping through crates than scrolling a feed. We keep the crate small, the picks personal and the sleeves worth keeping.

  • Rock
  • Jazz
  • Soul & R&B
  • Pop
  • Electronic
  • Alternative
  • Record sleeves lit on a shelf wall in a dim record bar

    Side A

    The sleeve first

    Artwork you can hold at arm’s length. We pick records that look as good on the wall as they sound on the platter.

  • A hand placing the needle on a spinning record

    Side B

    The sound second

    Every pressing is checked by ear before it goes in the crate, new or pre-loved, so what you take home plays the way it should.

  • Hands flipping through a wooden crate of old records

    Bonus

    The story always

    A first pressing found in a dusty bin, a gift from someone you love. Every record carries a story, and we like to tell it.

The listening room

Drop the needle.

Some records are better experienced than explained. Take a listen.

How we grade

Honest grades. No surprises on the platter.

Every record is checked under light and by ear before it is listed. Here is what each grade means.

  • Mint

    M

    Sealed or unplayed. Looks and sounds like it just left the pressing plant.

  • Near Mint

    NM

    Played once or twice, if at all. No marks you can see, no noise you can hear.

  • VG+

    VG+

    Light signs of play: faint hairlines or sleeve wear. Plays beautifully, with minimal surface noise.

  • VG

    VG

    Visible wear and some surface noise between tracks. Still a good listen, and priced to match.

Collector notes

    Bought: The Dark Side of the Moon

  • “I came for one record and left with a whole list. The listening room previews made choosing so much easier.”

    Ayesha K., Karachi

    Bought: Back to Black

  • “Packed like it was made of glass. The sleeve was spotless and the pressing is quiet. This is my crate now.”
