Record Players & Slipmats

Providing incredible sound, TEAC's TN-280BT-A3/WA Bluetooth Turntable houses the exceptional quality you would expect to hear from a Japanese brand. It plays wirelessly via bluetooth-enabled headphones and speakers. The lack of wires is sleek, making your set-up look cleaner than ever. The essential finishing touch for the audiophile who cares about decor; a slipmat. Originally invented by hip hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash to improve sound and move records counterclockwise with minimal friction and drag. We've got two designs available via our homegrown Goods by Goodhood line, a 16 Oz felt slipmat in leopard print (obviously) and in a pyramid design pulled straight from our graphics archive. Helping your records to move better whilst also looking good.

 

Good Vibes

For those of you who aren't familiar, we've been running a Good Vibes programme for years. Some of the best and most exciting DJs, musicians and friends put together a minimum 1 hour mix with no brief, just what they want to play, just good vibes. We've got a back catalogue of bangers from James Lavelle, Gorillaz, Zakia, Bone Soda, Mount Kimbie, and so many more. Lots of gold, getting digging via our Good Vibes page onsite, or our Mixcloud.

 

Beat Making

A newer product for us, we've dipped our toes into the Teenage Engineering world and we can't get enough. After investing into a series of pocket operators which we loved (and you guys did too judging by how quickly they've been flying off the shelves), we took it up a notch with the Teenage Engineering EP–133 K.O. II. A portable and powerful synthesizer, sampler and composer, featuring a fully reworked sequencer, brand new punch-in 2.0TM effects and a workflow that lets you go from idea to track faster than ever. Loads of fun for beat makers of all abilities.

 

Headphones

An essential regardless on your stance of how much you invest in music paraphernalia, everyones got to have a pair. We've backed AIAIAI for quite some time now, a Danish audio design company who are dedicated to developing high quality, minimally designed superior audio products for everyday use. Slick, comfortable, bluetooth connectivity with 40+ hours in a single charge, optimum sound quality. Everything you'd want in a set of headphones. If they're good enough for music industry leaders Trevor Jackson, Benji B, Kaytranada, they're good enough for us. You know how we do it. We select the very best from around the globe, so you don't have to.

 

Affiliated Clothing Labels

Vinyl

Probably the most fun part... crate digging. Unexplainable enjoyment, whether its an introduction to a new artist or band you've never come across before, or finding your favourite ever album in physical form. There's just something about being stood in front of a wall of records and feeling like a child again. Music streaming platforms are accessible now more than ever, but the tangible object is unbeatable, nothing quite compares up to dropping the needle... We've partnered with East London vinyl specialists Stranger Than Paradise for an on-going, ever-evolving curation of records. From Sonic Youth to Jai Paul, New Order to Erykah Badu, there's something for everyone.
