About Skydiver Records

This Smith Street hybrid pairs serious wax hunting with dialed-in espresso by day and natural wine with crisp pizza after dark. Slip a hard techno twelve-inch onto the turntable at the listening station before deciding whether to take it home. Staff readily demystify playback setups or chat through fresh house releases over a nutty flat white. Come evening, regulars drift out to the courtyard booths for local beers, cocktails, and DJ sets.

  • Listen Before Buying: Test-drive techno, house, and fresh vinyl releases on in-store turntables before taking them home.
  • Espresso to Evening Pours: Pours nutty flat whites and bright batch brews alongside local natural wines, craft beers, and cocktails.
  • Courtyard Pizza & Drinks: Slices crisp pizzas to pair with drinks, complete with courtyard seating and booth tables.
  • Hands-On Sound Guidance: Patient crew on hand to walk through turntable mechanics or recommend new arrivals.
