Vinyl sales have been growing worldwide for a decade. Madrid is no exception. But the interesting part isn't the numbers — it's why people are returning to a format many considered dead.

Vinyl forces active listening. No shuffle. No algorithm. You put on a record, sit down and hear the full A-side. There's something ritual about that — the same philosophy we apply to coffee: slowness, intention, quality.

Active vinyl listening vs passive streaming

At Licensed Coffee we have over 100 titles for listening and purchase. Jazz, soul, funk, electronic — and always surprises. Every record that plays has been chosen by the team. Not by an algorithm.

On "Open Deck" Thursdays we open the booth: bring your own vinyl and play it on our McIntosh system. Music shared the way it used to be — in person, with context, at proper volume.

Collector or curious, doesn't matter. Drop by Licensed. Analogue sound is best understood with a good coffee in hand.
