La Rama Records

La Rama’s catalogue follows labels and scenes as much as individual albums. Its electronic and dance selection includes a dedicated Local & CANCON section, plus records issued through the shop’s own label interests. That creates a direct route into music being made in Montréal and elsewhere in Canada, rather than relying on a souvenir title chosen for its cover. Jazz, reggae and other records broaden the shelves. For a DJ, the singles and EPs merit attention; for a home listener, the same selection can introduce an artist well before there is a conventional album to follow.

Vinyl singles, EPs and albums, electronic music, local and Canadian releases, reggae and jazz, plus music books, magazines and shop merchandise. Check stock status separately from preorder listings.

77 rue Bernard Ouest in Mile End. Walk west along Bernard to Phonopolis and Sonorama for contrasting selections. The Rialto and Fairmount are relevant nearby venue connections.

Use the label and local-release categories to explore beyond artist names you already know. A twelve-inch EP can be the most direct introduction to a Montréal producer.
