Looking for second-hand CDs and vinyls? Musicland/Neon Music probably has the biggest collection in the city. Craving new releases? You can bet on it.
This store is mostly about vinyls and electronic dance music, be it techno, house, footwork, drum 'n' bass or something else. They even sell clothes, caps and shoes.
Deep is a lot like Aktrecords in the sense that it specialises in electronic dance music, but it also has a small number of rock records. If you happen to be a DJ, don't miss out on this place!
If you are looking for rock, metal or any kind of -core music this is your place: LPs, CDs, DVDs, tees, hoodies, leggings, flags, all the things a real headbanger couldn't live without and much more.
Their selection is a bit more diverse, compared to Headbanger's. Running through their CDs /sold for reasonable price/ you can find records that have nothing to do with guitars and sweaty crowds.
Wave is one of the longest functioning music suppliers in Budapest. Although alternative, indie rock is their main profile, you can find everything from jazz to hip-hop and dubstep to folk.
The main profile is jazz and blues, but they also have an impressive collection of beat and classic rock releases. You can also buy second-hand vinyls for a really fair price!
If you are a fan of, let's say, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Front Line Assembly or Nitzer Ebb, Metro-nóm is your place. They sell CDs, LPs, posters, books – all for a reasonable price.
If you are looking for a Hungarian record, you should try to find it here before going anywhere else, as they have almost all of them. Be prepare to spend more time here than you had planned.
