Drop The Needle

A look at the social and cultural impact legendary vinyl store, Play De Record, has had on Toronto's musical landscape for over 30 years.

In August 1990, a record store opened on Yonge St. that quickly began serving the needs of college radio and DJs who spun new sounds far from the mainstream. Through the contagious work ethic and guidance of founder Eugene Tam, organically it became the hub for "Dance" music and the genres which emerged from under that umbrella, fueling and fostering Hip-Hop and Electronic culture.
