Music stores Hungary

For music fans, here is an address that is worth a visit! In the catalog of István, who opened his store in 1986 at the same address, tens of thousands of vinyls, CDs and cassettes, most of which are exposed on the spot. Hungarian folk, jazz, blues, classical music, world music, film music, pop-rock, R'n'B... In total, there are not far from 600,000 titles that this enthusiast has carefully collected! Also serves as a ticket office on site (and online). English-speaking reception and functional online store.

On the first floor of this store, a very friendly record shop, Káloz records, has moved into the palace district. Second-hand records in several musical fields (Eastern European music, Hungarian folk music, India, Cuba, hip-hop, Erik Satie...), but also cassettes, CDs, funzines and accessories. Real pearls to seize, the passionate holders of excellent advice, make you listen with pleasure to the finds. The website is regularly updated to highlight the latest acquisitions.

Housed in one of Budapest's most fabulous Art Nouveau buildings, the Török Bank, this ground-floor record shop is a favorite with music lovers, specializing in classical and jazz music. Large selection of scores, CDs... and a few books, as the company also has a publishing house. What's more, the company acts as a ticket office for just about every concert in Budapest. Hungarian audiences also appreciate the upstairs szalon, a room used for concerts, book launches and plays.

Deep is the record shop of choice for Magyar collectors and DJs! The store front is covered in stickers and sets the tone: this is a place for alternative music. And cutting-edge too. The team works with the biggest distributors in Central Europe. The shelves are well-stocked with electro, hip hop, drum and bass, even house and Japan bit (for the most discerning connoisseurs). Deep sells only newly (re)released vinyl (no used vinyl) and CDs. Website in English and international ordering possible.

Vinyl enthusiasts will be in heaven at Sándor! A rich selection of blues, rock, pop, world music... and, of course, Hungarian music, especially táncház (folk music played at folk dances). In fact, since 1989, there's been táncház everywhere in Hungary! This passionate and inexhaustible record dealer is happy to advise the curious or the undecided, and Hungarian and even international legends have passed through his doors. If you're lucky, you might even catch a mini-concert in the store!

István is a programmer and great promoter of techno in Hungary. He is behind the awesome Lick the Click! daytime raves that used to take place on the A38 boat. Lovers of mininal techno and other genres come to him for supplies. Some records in the hip hop, garage, etc. departments, but it's especially teeming in much more specialized domains: deep house, Detroit, acid house, disco, dubstep, dubtech, deepTechhouse, experimental, noise, grime... His store as well as his website are a real gold mine.
