All 45s
All styles
All vibes!
Buy, sell, trade and connect — a pop-up record fair with the decks open to anyone who wants a go. All 45s on the decks, every format in the crates, no gatekeeping.
Nothing in the diary just now — December is a break, and next year's dates follow. @7_up.vinyl always has them first.
The diary would not load just now — that is this end, not a cancelled date. Everything is on @7_up.vinyl.
Open decks are 7" only and run on the venue's sound system, with DJ Deaf Geoff kicking things off. Records of all formats are yours to buy. Vendors include Electric Sheep, Plays at 45, Sureshot, Flowski Flow, Liberation Records and Ennvy Criminal Damage.
A free community gathering for collectors, selectors and anyone who likes records. Dig through the crates, bring your own to swap or sell, or take a turn on the decks.
Not a purist 45s event. Music in all physical formats is celebrated, swapped and sold here — LPs, 12s, cassettes, whatever you dig out. Only the open decks are strictly 7", the format the whole thing is named after. Hip-hop, jazz, soul, funk, disco, broken beat, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin, reggae, boogie, rare groove, beats and world groove. No gatekeeping, no egos — good music, good people and community. Family and friends welcome.
Run by Idris Fertout — a London DJ and record collector who curates it. The fair happens roughly every other month, with pop-ups in between, and most editions are at Next Door Records on Uxbridge Road in Shepherd's Bush. He is on Instagram at @idris_fertout.
It is free, and it stays free. If you would like to help keep it going, you can buy the project a coffee.

Got crates to shift? Take a stall and bring the boxes you have been sitting on. Dealers, collectors and one-off clear-outs all welcome — the mix is the point.

Open decks means open. You do not need to be a working DJ or have a following — you need a stack of 45s and the nerve to play them. First-timers are genuinely welcome, that is who this is for.
Suggested genres: hip-hop, jazz, soul, funk, disco, broken beat, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin, reggae, boogie, rare groove, beats and world groove. No hard and fast rules though — it is a guide.
It is a weekend daytime event, so read the room and play to the vibe. Above all it is about good music, good people and community.
Email about a slot Say what you'd like to play and we'll find you a time. Or DM @7_up.vinyl.
