What Side One is known for
Independent record shop in a courtyard off Chmielna Street in central Warsaw, run by DJ Wojtek Zdanuk since the 2000s; stocks new and secondhand vinyl spanning house, techno, disco, jazz, hip-hop, and funk for the city's DJ and collector scene.
Side One operates from a small backyard space at Chmielna 21 in Warsaw's Srodmiescie Polnocne district, run by Wojtek Zdanuk, known locally as DJ WWW, who has supplied the city's DJs with new and secondhand records for more than a decade. The shop's stock spans African, Brazilian and Latin pressings, disco and re-edits, drum and bass, dubstep, electro, funk and soul, jazz, hip-hop, house and nu-disco, reggae and dub, rock and indie, soundtracks, and techno. The Vinyl Factory included Side One in its series profiling the world's best record shops, describing it as a meeting point where artists, promoters, and collectors gather to exchange records.
