Wax & Wane

A small room in Moda for records, and for listening to them properly.

new and used vinyl. a corner with two turntables. a listening session every thursday at 19:30. the rest of the time, the street outside and whatever is on the platter.

33⅓, for as long as it takes.

The crates

New vinyl

fresh pressings, still in their shrink-wrap. the ones you have been waiting for, and a few you didn't know you were.

Used vinyl

records that have lived somewhere else first. another shelf, another room, the same music inside.

The listening corner

Two turntables, one corner. Take a record off the shelf and hear it before it comes home with you.

no rush. it's a corner, not a queue.
