Vinyl records have made a strong comeback in recent decades, cherished both for their superior sound quality and nostalgic value. Once the dominant format for recorded music, vinyl offers an analog richness many argue surpasses that of digital files. The physical vibrations captured in vinyl grooves create a warm, authentic listening experience, while limited editions and rare pressings make records coveted collector’s items. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or just discovering the charm of analog, here are five places in Mexico City where DJs spin vinyl and cocktails are just as carefully curated.
