Open Source Record Shop is an online-only record store and pop-up concept based in San Diego, CA, dedicated to underground electronic music on vinyl. From modern minimal grooves to timeless deep house cuts, each selection reflects a deep love for crate digging and carefully sourced records.

« Each release has its own flavor for an underground music journey from modern productions to classic cuts. »— Kevin Martinez, Open Source Record Shop

A monthly selection moving through deep house textures, minimal pressure and subtle club energy — strictly vinyl, all pre-loved copies, handpicked for heads who know.

[FOCUS] Paris-based Dandy Records specializes in rare Japanese vinyl, with a focus on City-Pop and Jazz Fusion imports. Its digital identity is built around careful selection and nuance. The Eshop stands out through very soft UX/UI choices: a Java-animated mouse cursor, subtle gradient backgrounds, and smooth, flowing interactions. Nothing is loud, nothing is rushed.
The product grid highlights rare finds without visual noise, supporting a calm and thoughtful digging experience.
A strong example of how small interface details can reinforce the feeling of curation and discovery.

[FOCUS] Independent record stores and labels build their identity through space, selection, and human presence. Common Ground helps these communities extend that identity online with creative Eshops that reflect their personality, not just products. This article presents a selection of stores, labels and artists, that use design, layout, and interaction to make their online shops feel like real spaces — build with Common Ground Eshop Editor.

Absorb Records was cooked up in the kitchen of a travel trailer in the high desert of Colorado many years ago. Z and K are two dear friends who have shared a passion for music and a love for that special moment of listening to something together that resonates deeply. During their travels they were struck by a number of wonderful spaces and record shops, and with Absorb they bring some of that magic back home to share. Their Hillman City location in Seattle feels like a neighborhood home for listening and discovery, and the Eshop is built with the same attentive spirit.
