The fun loving record label is solidifying its presence in New York with the launch of a new record store.

Razor-N-Tape is best known for records packed with dancefloor euphoria drawing upon the early hedonistic days of funk, soul and disco and reinventing them for the present.

Over ten years the label has released music by the likes of Tom Noble, Don Carlos, JKriv, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Dimutri From Paris, Daniel T and many, many more.

The sound has evolved and grown – resulting in a fluid collection of music which spans classic edits, remixes, originals and beyond drawing upon the free spirited nature and influence from the cult New York era of nightlife and disco.

Now Razor-N-Tape will cement themselves with the launch of a new Brooklyn Record store which has been described with an exciting announcement:

“The shop will be open to the public and will feature the complete catalog of available Razor-N-Tape vinyl stock, apparel, DJ accessories, and a curated selection of new and used records from international and local labels. A boutique DJ booth framed in the storefront window will host guest DJs for a calendar of in-store and live-streamed sets.

The carefully designed space will feature custom millwork furniture, a bespoke hifi sound system, and an oversized aluminum Bill Bernstein photo print, donated by the photographer himself. Also serving as the new RNT office as well as the shipping hub for the label’s online business, the shop will offer a window into the label operations, and be a place of convergence for the ever-growing roster of RNT artists.”
