A Friday evening dedicated to the tactile satisfaction of flipping through sleeves at Galactic Supermarket Records. We are bypassing the overly curated club scene for a dry, mid-tempo deep dive into whatever is sitting in the crates. The goal is to trade obscure recommendations without the pressure of being a professional selector, starting with some light crate-digging and ending with a highly subjective debate on whether the B-side is actually superior. It’s Berlin-casual: we show up, we talk about wax, and we leave before the Friedrichshain nightlife gets too loud.
Event plan
- 6:30 PMCrate Digging & Dust RemovalArrive at Galactic Supermarket, grab a stack, and start the slow process of tactile discovery while the rest of the group filters in.
- 7:00 PMThe 'Why Did I Buy This?' ShowcaseA quick round of showing off the weirdest cover art or most questionable impulse purchase found in the bins so far.
- 7:40 PMThe 45-RPM Philosophical DebateA concentrated, lightly pretentious discussion on the merits of the single versus the LP, held while browsing the back corner of the shop.
- 8:20 PMFinal Flips and Drifting OffMaking the final selections at the counter before heading out for a Späti drink nearby or catching the tram home.

A quintessential Friedrichshain record shop where the shelves are packed tight and the atmosphere feels suspended in a specific analog era. It is the kind of place where you can find anything from Krautrock to obscure disco if you are willing to get your fingers a little dusty.
Find your people. Then never meet them. Listings can shift, reschedule, or vanish with morning clarity.
