What customers say

Best record shop in Philly! Stocks a lot of styles of underground techno, dark ambient, and UK Bass music you can't find anywhere else in the city. Also have their own record label which is very cool.

★★★★★ — Feral, 2021-10

this shop rules. a reasonable (read: not overwhelming) selection of carefully curated music, be it jazz, electronic, experimental, folk, international, dub. there is something here for every discerning (or newly exploring) music head.

★★★★★ — Michael, 2023-05

Lovely shop, ft. a highly curated selection of records, books, and other miscellany for discerning heads. Their internet radio programming is also always on point, showcasing a great cross-section of the city's further afield artists. Good people doing good things!

★★★★★ — Carl, 2022-01

Great Circles is a well curated record shop with an incredibly eclectic and, not often found, selection. While absolutely a must visit for music heads, the vibe is welcoming and unpretentious. It’s a great place for anyone who loves music. Run by a group of people who really care about music and the community.
