Huckle, a barber in London, has partnered with NME’s electronic music editor Graham Sherman to launch a new record shop named Shake The Foundations, situated in the basement of Huckle’s own shop on Lambs Conduit Street. This space will feature an array of used vinyl as well as music memorabilia sourced from Sherman’s personal collection, which includes pieces from notable figures like Andrew Weatherall, Richard Norris, and Sean Johnston.

To mark the opening, Huckle will host a celebration on November 28th from 7 to 10:30 PM, showcasing DJ sets from Sean Johnston, Harri Pepper, and Sherman himself. Gnostic Sonics will also offer items from its exclusive Weatherall merchandise line at the event, alongside a gallery exhibition featuring the work of photographer Peter J. Walsh, who has made a name for himself capturing the early acid house and Madchester scenes.

The launch of Shake The Foundations taps into the growing interest in vinyl records, particularly among music enthusiasts who appreciate the tactile and nostalgic aspects of physical music collections. The collaboration highlights the intersection of grooming and music culture, reflecting a trend where local businesses diversify their offerings to attract a wider audience. The inclusion of memorabilia adds a unique touch, enhancing the shop’s appeal to collectors and fans alike.

Shake The Foundations represents a fresh addition to London’s vibrant music scene, combining a passion for vinyl and music history within a barber shop setting. The event promises an engaging atmosphere with live DJ performances, exclusive merchandise, and art, making it a must-visit for music lovers. This initiative showcases the evolving landscape of retail spaces and their ability to create community experiences around shared interests.
