When you enter our store, you can see clearly written: Il Disco è Cultura, that means “Records are Culture”.

We start from this.

Spazio 432, more than a business, is the pursuit of an idea, leaving a very clear message: music is culture. It's an art that is second to none.

We have three basic principles:

In a world where music is free and on our mobile phones, to choose a physical media is an act of resistance.

In our opinion, the starting point is the actual listening, that sense that’s missing more and more nowadays. We live at a hectic pace, obliged to hear everything without actually listening to anything. A vinyl record with its obstinate centripetal reproduction forces us to listen. And this is good for us.

We're convinced that people create the Spaces, we don’t want to talk about our shop only as a workshop, but as a place where we create, exchange and narrate culture. A place with an international dimension, cared for and accessible to all. Whether you are a collector, DJ, or just crazy for music here you’ll feel good.

And then there is the importance of materiality...

That mind you, does not mean the accumulation. For that there are our hard disks and their gigabytes.

The record as an object, with its solid form, it is tangible and it exists, it is and it will be. Through its cover it tells us stories, anecdotes and moments even before you put it on the platter. And when you play it, it will talk about art, emotions and life. What can we do, when the needle touches the vinyl, it’s magic for us.

We're not only sellers, we’re above all collectors. We will never try to slip you a record, on the contrary. We will try to learn from you. In our experience in these years if there’s one thing we’ve realised is that generally the client knows more than us. We find this uplifting and motivating, we are not ashamed of it.

We could stay here and write a book about our activity and what it means to us. But we’ll stop here and if you want to visit us we will tell you all about it in person.
