Family owned and operated, Drift Records is the (not) award-winning independent record shop in Totnes, Devon.

We love being a physical record shop. Here in Devon since the early nineties, and online as well since the 2010's. We are well at home at No.103, a light and airy double shop at the top of Totnes High Street amongst a great community of local and independent retailers, we don’t plan on going anywhere in the near future.

We proudly stock new and newly reissued music across a wide range of genres, focusing on contemporary music that excites us; jazz, post-punk, house, techno, country, ambient, psychedelia, rap, funk, rock, noise, experimental and pretty much anything else. Come and see us, find out what we're into at the moment, we hope that you’ll find it to be a great place to spend some time.

Deluxe Newspaper

We produce a newspaper called Deluxe, entirely focused on record shops, the people that run them and the people who shop there. We have all always been hugely immersed in record shop culture and it absolutely fascinates us. Over the last 25 issues we’ve spoken to hundreds of artists, writers, broadcasters and avid shoppers about shop culture. When we have an edition in stock, we put copies free into all mail orders.

You can read full articles on the Deluxe website.
