We’d love to have you over.

Turns out opening a record store is a little more complicated than simply buying too many records.

After weeks of dust, delays, flat-pack furniture, questionable lifting techniques and an unhealthy amount of coffee, Jungle HQ has soft launched and it’s time to properly christen the place.

Come and explore the store, dig through the bins, have a drink, catch up with good people and get a first look at what we’re planning for the space.

There’ll be DJs, drinks and records — and hopefully nobody asking if we have Rumours on vinyl. (We do.)

Jungle HQ is our new record store, artist merchandise destination and event space in Marrickville.

But the store is only part of the idea.

Over the years we’ve seen more and more releases and merchandise campaigns move online, while opportunities for artists and fans to connect in person have become harder to create.

Jungle HQ gives artists, managers, labels and promoters a flexible physical space to launch releases, host pop-ups, meet fans, perform intimate shows and create something beyond another online drop.

Jungle Merchandise has spent more than a decade working behind the scenes with artists, managers, labels and promoters across strategy, design, production, touring, eCommerce and fulfilment.

We’ve had the privilege of working with artists ranging from Fred again.., AC/DC, Metallica and Sleep Token through to Australian acts including Rum Jungle, Slowly Slowly and Ball Park Music, among many others.

Jungle HQ takes that experience into a physical space and gives us another way to help artists create memorable moments with their audiences.
