Bis Aufs Messer Records

With a witty greeting in the shop window, Bis Aufs Messer Records welcomes its guests as a record store in Berlin. A sign there says: „Talk means trouble. Don’t talk“ and refers to the passion of the music listener who doesn’t want to be disturbed by anything or anyone in their search for extraordinary LPs. Behind the counter are people who really know their stuff and will advise you expertly. This way, you’ll find what you’re looking for even if you’re searching for very specific albums or need a special sound as a DJ.

Especially discerning record collectors like to stop by to get a recommendation or two on Marchlewskistraße. Many independent genres are represented, from jazz to hip-hop, punk and folk to garage, wave, indie and electronic. There’s a small second-hand section with unique collector’s items and records for people who enjoy listening off the beaten path. In addition to LPs, music magazines, books, and tapes are available, some also from the experimental and noise section. Here you can be sure to stumble upon records that are not available in common stores.
