\"\"<\/p>\n

North London has gained a new independent record shop, bar and caf\u00e9 in the shape of\u00a0One Eighty One\u00a0 on Holloway Road in Islington.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Located a\u00a0 short walk from Highbury & Islington and Holloway Road stations, the shop operates\u00a0 as a laid back record shop and caf\u00e9 serving coffee and simple food in the daytime, with crates focussed on hip hop, house, soul and related sounds.<\/p>\n

At night, it transforms into a DJ led bar for local heads, collectors and visiting artists, with a programme of selectors drawn from London\u2019s underground scenes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s a well stocked bar at the back of the premises,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

DJ and promoter Rod \u201cSpin Doctor\u201d Gilmore is the man behind this venture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hefty vintage Tannoy Cheviot speakers lurk in every corner. These were previously employed as studio monitors in the legendary Abbey Road recording complex.<\/p>\n
