Tucked away in Berlin’s Friedrichshain district, a stone’s throw from the steel-and-smoke mythology of Berghain/Panorama Bar, Elevate stands as a quiet sanctuary for those who believe the best grooves come pressed on wax. Run by House mainstay Cinthie, her partner-in-crime Meat, and a tight-knit crew of trusted diggers, Elevate is more than a record store – it’s a carefully curated refuge where every shelf tells you exactly why you fell in love with vinyl in the first place.
With decades deep in the booth, behind the boards, and elbow-deep in crates, Cinthie and Meat have built Elevate as a place where the wax does the talking – no filler, no fluff, just records that deserve a spin.
To toast the arrival of warmer days and longer nights, the Elevate family shares a handful of their current must-grabs with Torture the Artist – a little inspiration for anyone looking to surprise a record lover, or just reward themselves with something that never streams, only spins.
