GIVE US THE BACKGROUND - WHEN AND WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO OPEN A RECORD SHOP?
How has lockdown affected your shop? Well, we've got a tiny shop as it is so we just ask people to wait until less than 3 people are in at once. We've begun doing live streams so people can enjoy our sets from the comfort of their own homes!
Tell us a little bit about your store? What's the vibe?
It's a good vibe all round! celebrating and talking about music is always good, the whole thing is a pretty positive experience! Le Freak Records is a daft wee record shop in Dundee that aims not to take itself too seriously. We stock a bit of everything but pride ourselves on our unique dance music selection. We do instore gigs, play Dj sets all around the country and aim to have as good a time as possible whilst we still can!
We're named after a Chic song. Think that sums us up perfectly!
Can you remember the first record you sold in the shop? And the last?
Do you remember the first record shop you went to? And you do you remember the first record you bought?
