In the late '90s and early '00s, Sydney’s Darlinghurst was home to up to seventeen specialist dance music vinyl record shops. Now there's only one: the Recordstore. This salubrious establishment opened its doors in 2003 — rising like a dazed and confused phoenix from the ashes of the beloved BPM Records (1994 - 2003). From disgruntled customer and promising psychology graduate, though manager of BPM, to owner of the Recordstore, the author has witnessed — and taken part in — the rise and fall and rise again of vinyl DJ culture. As first a punter at the early ‘90s raves, then DJ / Promoter / Producer during the heyday of clubland and the explosion of Electronic Music into festivals and stadiums he has stayed the course. Co-producing Sydney’s “3D World party of the year” in 1999, and DJing at Berlin’s Tresor nightclub and Love Parade in 2000, the author has experienced some incredible highs. Being Registered Officer/Party Agent for the anti-lockout party Keep Sydney Open in the late 2010s, he has lived through — and helped fight — the extreme lows. For 30 years Darlinghurst has been his base and that’s because Eastside Sydney in general — and Darlinghurst in particular — have always been safe and welcoming places for queers, bohemians, and misfits alike: a community understanding of differences and clubs within which to congregate and dance anonymously. That’s how Steph found Darlinghurst in 1991. From the very first moment, he knew it was his home.
