HHV Store Berlin

The HHV Store in Friedrichshain is Berlin's interface between record culture and street style: Those browsing for vinyl here will find around 2,500 records from Hip Hop to Jazz, Techno to Reggae, flanked by sneakers and streetwear on 200 square meters in Grünberger Straße.

From Hip-Hop Vinyl Shop to Berlin Record Store Classic

The abbreviation HHV stands for Hip Hop Vinyl, and that’s exactly where it all began. In the late 1990s, US hip-hop on vinyl was hard to come by – HHV founder Tom took on the challenge and thus established the Hip Hop Vinyl Store. This small Berlin record store eventually became an institution. HHV is still proud to have remained an independent platform for over two decades. Musically, the store has long since evolved: the shop offers around 2,500 records in genres such as Hip Hop, German Rap, Reggae, Soul, Jazz, Afro, Techno, House, Disco, and Rock. Those who want to listen before buying are also well catered for, with six listening stations available. In addition, the entire online range can be pre-ordered and picked up directly in the store – practical if you are specifically looking for a particular title.

Furthermore, HHV even operates its own record label, HHV Records, through which vinyls by selected artists are released and distributed. This makes the store not only a destination for buying vinyl but also an active part of the music scene. The store also regularly hosts events with musicians, brands, and artists.
