Family owned and operated, Drift Records is the 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.

Drift, is mind-bogglingly great: the kind of place that you’d think was amazing if you found it in New York.

The Guardian

Hugely respected by anyone who knows record shops and massively important to their native Devon.

BBC 6 Music

The displays of current staff favorites are refreshed on an almost-fanatical basis. Row upon row of expertly selected discs and long-sold-out collector’s items.

Drift was nominated as Best Independent Retailer at the Music Week Awards in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. We have proudly won awards from both AIM and IMPALA.

In 2018, we co-founded Dinked Edition. A collective of like-minded, independent record shops from all over the UK working together to promote music we love through limited vinyl releases.

Alongside general shop business, we produce a newspaper called Deluxe, entirely focused on record shops, the people that run them and the people who shop there. You can read back issues and features on the Deluxe website.
