La Rama on Bernard Street in the Mile End is a haven for dance music aficionados and vinyl diggers. Founded in 2016 by Kris Guilty, La Rama has grown from a niche project into a vibrant community hub for DJs and music lovers across the city. Specializing in an eclectic range of genres—from House and Disco to Jazz, Latin beats, and Afro rhythms—the shop offers a meticulously curated collection that guarantees shoppers leave with a gem or two.
Here, vinyl finds are serious business, with a steady stream of new singles, EPs, and full-lengths from global scenes to dig through. But what sets La Rama apart is Kris’s encyclopedic knowledge and dedication to music. With each visit, he might introduce you to a rare 12-inch or share insider tips on the local scene. It’s a place for discovery, connection, and a bit of crate-digging magic that keeps people coming back.
