A few things you’ll find here.
Built on records.
Grown through people.
Meanhood started during lockdown with records from Jim’s own collection. Word of mouth turned a pop-up into a record shop, and a shared love of music brought Jim and Katie Young to the next chapter: a space for records, rehearsal, tuition and performance in LS6.
Come for a dig, a conversation or a fresh start behind the decks.
Word gets around.
5.0 / 5 · 32 Google reviews ↗Great selection of records. Jim is a super friendly guy who took the time to put a bundle deal together for me based on artists and genres I like. Fast and secure delivery. Will definitely buy from here again. Cheers Jim
I’ve been wanting to learn to DJ for a while so finally booked in for a beginners session at meanhood. It was such a relaxed supportive atmosphere that’s made me excited to get learning more. I arrived nervous and in my head abit but left feeling really good and looking forward to my next session! Super sweet space with fab equipment and relaxed learning ☺️.
Expert knowledge of hip hop, fair prices, availability of serious underground import records and mailed very well packaged. Highly recommended seller!
