Frequently Asked Questions, House Vinyl

Where can I buy house music vinyl in the UK?

VinylVault stocks a curated selection of deep house, Chicago house, garage and balearic vinyl. Based in the UK, we offer fast UK dispatch and free delivery on orders over £75.

What is deep house music?

Deep house is a subgenre of house music characterised by slower tempos (around 120 BPM), soulful vocals, jazz-influenced chord progressions and a deeper, more introspective feel than classic Chicago house. Pioneers include Larry Heard (Mr Fingers), Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan.

What is the difference between house and garage?

UK garage developed in the early 1990s from American garage house. US garage (also called NY or NJ garage) is more soulful and gospel-influenced, while UK garage has a distinctly British character with syncopated rhythms, MC vocals and eventually led to grime and UK bass music.

Are classic house records still available on vinyl?

Yes, many classic house records have been reissued on vinyl by labels like Trax Records, Rush Hour and Be With Records. VinylVault stocks both original pressings and authorised reissues from independent labels.
