Substance – Vienna’s Independent record stores online

One of the most beloved record stores in the city, Substance, have set themselves up an online store. It ain’t fancy, but they have an awesome collection, and super friendly customer service.

They’re working with the new click&collect kinda deal in which you do exactly as it says on the tin – click and buy on their website and collect at their store on Westbahnstrasse (be sure to keep an eye on their opening times throughout the lockdown via Facebook).

Konstantin Drobil started Trost Records as a Vienna-based tape-label in the early 90s, releasing mainly local Indie/Avante Rock acts that played at the Flex. Later, Trost started an independent distribution company before finally in 2001 opening the record store, Substance. This place has one of the greatest Free Jazz, Techno, Hardcore and Indie Rock selection in the city. It’s now one of the largest and most popular stores for Electronic Dance music in Vienna.
