Agora is an excellent new record store and art space located in downtown Los Angeles's burgeoning Arts District. co/owners Nico and Luke are very dedicated to their craft including selling a wide variety of Dub, Techno, Disco, House, Experimental and other (mostly but not exclusively) Electronic Music that you can preview on multiple listening stations in-store. They also carry some of the latest releases from local artists and bands of the highest order at this exciting new establishment. I have truly enjoyed attending their intimate and well curated Vino & Vinyl events featuring top local and often international artists as well as their most recent 'MELT' event featuring legendary DJ/producer and original Def Mix producer Satoshi Tomiie.

Much love + respekt for the owners and purveyors of this exciting new record store where they regularly showcase top local djs / producers / artists and provide music heads like me with a wonderful outlet for digging, playing, dancing...
