Our Story

Vinyl Touch was born from a simple belief: the music of Africa deserves to be heard the way it was meant to be — on vinyl. Founded in Johannesburg, we are Africa's dedicated online destination for vinyl records that celebrate the continent's extraordinary musical heritage.
From the deep log drums of Amapiano to the spiritual jazz of Abdullah Ibrahim, from Fela Kuti's revolutionary Afrobeat to the kwaito anthems that defined a generation — we curate records that matter. Every title in our collection is hand-selected for its musical significance, pressing quality, and cultural importance.
We believe vinyl is more than a format. It's a ritual. The act of pulling a record from its sleeve, placing the needle, and letting the music fill the room — that's something streaming can never replace. It's tactile. It's intentional. It's the Vinyl Touch.
Curated, Not Random
We don't stock everything — we stock what matters. Each record is chosen for its musical quality, cultural significance, and pressing standard.
Supporting Local
We partner with African labels and artists across the continent to bring their music to wax. When you buy from us, you support the African music ecosystem.
