Triphouse Rotterdam

Triphouse Rotterdam is an independent collective of creative people who share a common love and interest in forward thinking electronic music and it's related culture and lifestyle. We are focussed on the future while maintaining a respectful attitude towards electronic music's rich heritage. Our collective operates from the Triphouse Rotterdam Headquarters, an office and store which are located in the west side of Rotterdam. Our mission is to bring people together in a positive light and spread the music and values we so deeply care about.

In a world that focusses more and more on shallow consumerism and where financial benefits are often chosen above artistic expression and quality, we feel it is our duty to remind the world there is still a large group of souls who choose to walk a different path. By connecting these people and offering them a platform where they are free to express themselves and by creating an environment where quality, creativity and open mindedness are the highest values, we are striving to lift our culture to a higher level.

Triphouse Rotterdam is an open collective, this means that everyone who connects to our ideas is welcome to join and participate in our activities. One of our purposes is to create a healthy and prosperous electronic music scene in our home town Rotterdam. We do this by organising events, supporting local artists and promoting the culture in general. All who share our views are invited to utilise our platform as an outlet for their creative ventures.

The introduction of digital music formats and performance tools such as Final Scratch and Traktor made the joy of mixing music accessible to more people, to us this is a very positive development. On the downside this way of distributing music to the listener also came with a number of negative side effects. One of them being the diminishing of physical stores who supplied the public with music on a more traditional format, namely vinyl.

These stores who, due to the development of the digital format saw a vast decline in numbers during the last years, also fulfilled an important social function. They served as a meeting point for the scene, a place where you could level with fellow electronic music aficionados outside of the nightclubs. The staff could inform aspiring disc jockeys on new and interesting releases and share the knowledge which they obtained over the years. We feel it is important to sustain this rich tradition and because most of our crew members have been collecting vinyl for a long time themselves, opening a record store felt like a logical next step.

Besides new and vintage vinyl, we sell clothing, accessories, headphones, books, magazines, art and other stuff we like. The shop is equipped with a booth where visiting DJ's are able to record a mix. Whether you don't have proper equipment yourself, you have annoying neighbours or you're in need of a helping hand, you are welcome to make use of our shops facilities.

We sincerely thank you for your interest and wish you all the best!
