More Rice Record Store

What is it? More Rice Record Store landed on Sukhumvit Soi 31 in 2021, growing from a label devoted to underground dance music, now a fully-fledged production house and shop. Founded by DJs Sarayu, DOTT and Elaheh, it carries that lineage proudly, with house and techno music dominating the shelves.

Why we love it: Selections feel purposeful rather than padded, catering to collectors as well as selectors hunting for their next secret weapon. Duplicate finds are rare, which says plenty about the care taken with each order and crate curation. Accessories are given equal respect. Cartridges, headphones, slipmats and record bags sit alongside clothing, totes and printed matter celebrating vinyl culture. Even the in-store sound system has been chosen with their professional ear, allowing you to listen to records as they were meant to be heard. For those yet to make the journey, the team curates online playlists for home listening, with warnings to not skip ahead and simply let the sequence unfold as intended.

Time Out Tip: If you care about house, techno or any of their sub-genres, block out proper browsing time rather than rushing between errands. Ask what has just arrived and what the founders are currently playing in their own sets. 

Sukhumvit 31, Khlong Tan Nuea. Open Tuesday-Friday, 1pm-8pm and Saturday, 3pm-8pm. Closed Sunday-Monday.
