Record digging tips for Surabaya

Digging in Surabaya? A few habits pay off:

• Check the turntable section at Inferno Music Studio & Rock Shop Surabaya. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• Bring cash for the small shops at Recital. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
• Go often, dig briefly. Short frequent visits beat rare expeditions. Fifteen minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly dig.
• Visit on restock days. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Surabaya — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Surabaya can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 2, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 2 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
