92 Degrees Coffee to host Record Store Day vinyl store and DJs

92 Degrees Coffee, the city’s first roastery and coffee shop, is celebrating Record Store Day in Liverpool with live DJs and a pop-up record shop.

The Hardman Street venue, which opened its doors in the former Blind School building later last year, has invited a number of the city’s DJs to perform at the shop, with a chance to buy their records from between 12pm and 7pm on Saturday 18 April.

The coffee shop has teamed up with Myrtle Street bar and restaurant Kabinett for an after party from 8pm, where DJs will play soul, rap, Latin, rock, funk and electronica.

Record Store Day has become a national phenomenon in the UK, with many stores selling vinyl holding events and sales to encourage buyers of the resurgent format. Independent artists release limited edition vinyl and CDs, as well as a host of promotional products, as part of the annual celebration.
