Why it belongs in ORBIS

Vinyl and hi-fi shop in a warehouse unit in Dubai's Al Quoz Industrial 1 district, stocking used and new records across genres plus turntables and audio gear; an authorized dealer for British loudspeaker maker ATC.

Raw Music Store operates from a warehouse unit at Al Marabea Street, at the corner of 14B Street, in Dubai's Al Quoz Industrial 1 district - a part of the city known more for workshops and light industry than retail, which is where several of Dubai's specialist shops, including its record stores, have ended up due to space and rent. The shop stocks used and secondhand vinyl spanning genres from jazz, soul and funk to electronic, metal and hip-hop, alongside new and reissued pressings from established labels, positioning itself as a broad source for collectors rather than a single-genre specialist. Beyond records, it sells turntables, amplifiers, speakers and vinyl-care accessories, and is listed as an authorized dealer for the British loudspeaker manufacturer ATC Loudspeakers, putting it in a small category of Gulf retailers carrying serious two-channel hi-fi equipment alongside record bins. It has been featured in Time Out Dubai's guide to the city's vinyl-buying spots and is listed on Discogs' directory of physical record stores, both of which treat it as one of a handful of dedicated vinyl retailers operating in the emirate.
