2001 - Browse By Year

2001 was a year of seismic shifts, both culturally and musically. It marked the moment a new wave of rock and roll swagger from New York City completely revitalised the music scene, while electronic music and hip-hop continued to push into bold new territories. Our 2001 collection is a time capsule of this pivotal year, capturing the raw energy and creative rebirth that would define the decade to come.

This was the year the world was introduced to The Strokes with their game-changing debut, Is This It, an album that instantly made guitar music feel effortlessly cool again. It sits alongside the sprawling, atmospheric rock of Radiohead's Amnesiac and the iconic, robotic pulse of Daft Punk's Discovery. From the intricate songwriting of Björk's Vespertine to the groundbreaking production on Jay-Z's The Blueprint, 2001 was brimming with albums that felt like instant classics.

Hearing these records on vinyl connects you to the period's distinct production. The format brings a warmth to the analogue synths and an undeniable punch to the stripped-back guitar riffs that characterised the era. Whether you are revisiting the sound of your youth or discovering these seminal albums for the first time, this is how they were meant to be experienced.
