We're passionate about music and creating a record store with a difference
We proudly stock a wide range of genres, all hand picked, for you to explore and find the next gem for your growing vinyl collection. With a state of the art sound system, a cosy coffee bar and passionate staff, it's the perfect space to spend some time enjoying good music.
With an ambition to try and do things differently, we've designed the store to allow for easy browsing with big gallery style wall displays to showcase the beautiful album artwork alongside QR codes on every album to allow you to listen and learn more about the artist. So sit back, relax and enjoy a flat white whilst listening to your new favourite album.
Capsule Connect
Alongside creating a neighbourhood record and coffee shop, we want to use our platform to promote local vinyl DJs, and the venues that host them.
Events
As part of our commitment to fostering a community, we host events in-store and across Brighton and Hove. From Charlie Dark to Marcia Carr to The Bees.
Tea and Coffee
We've created a beautiful snug area at the back of the store where you can enjoy a perfectly brewed Cast Iron Roasters coffee. Kick back, relax and enjoy alongside some uplifting tunes.
Charity Partner
As part of our commitment to our local community, we wanted to work with a local charity and My University Hospitals Sussex is just that. It's a dedicated charity for local hospitals across Sussex.
Work With Us
As you'll know from being in the shop, we are a small, principally owner staffed business and so vacancies are going to be few and far between!
QR Codes
Try it out next time you visit us. Grab a coffee, a seat on the sofa and an armful of your next favourite LPs to read about and listen to.
You're looking at a picture of Sarah, Lawrence and Skev - the founders of Capsule Records. Very early into our life we were joined by Harry and Juliette. When we get a photo of the 5 of us together we'll update this one! What binds us all together is a love of music, a love of chatting about music and the thrill we all get from helping you discover your next favourite album! Come and say hi.
