Amsterdam is one of the best cities in the world for vinyl culture.

Its record stores are legendary. The city is compact and beautiful – a place where you can lose entire weekends wandering between world-class record shops, dusty basements and slick specialist stores.

And when you spend enough time doing that, you start noticing the same faces.

The same collectors. The same DJs. The same people searching for new sounds, hidden gems and records they didn’t know they needed.

That’s where Amsterdam Vinyl Club began – an attempt to bring the city’s vinyl community together.

Dropping the needle

Launched in June 2025, Amsterdam Vinyl Club started as an experiment: create a night for people who love records as much as we do. A celebration of collecting, discovering and sharing music – built for crate diggers, wax junkies and anyone who think music feels better when it’s played on vinyl.

We wanted to create a platform for new DJs who’d never played live before. A place where experienced selectors could reach new audiences. A room where collectors, music obsessives and curious newcomers could connect through the records they love.

To keep ouer events rooted in vinyl culture, we also invited some of Amsterdam’s best traders to sell records at our events – turning AVC into part club night, part record fair and part community gathering.

Now spinning

What started as a single event has grown into something bigger.

Today, Amsterdam Vinyl Club hosts events across the city, alongside new spin-off nights including listening parties, genre specials and laid-back Sunday sessions.

But the spirit remains the same as it was on day one: great music, great people and the thrill of discovering something new.

The best part? What began as an experiment has become a genuine international community – DJs, collectors and music lovers from all over the world, united by a shared love of vinyl.
