Groove Archive started as a simple idea: what if there was a place on the internet that talked about music the way music lovers actually talk about it? Not press releases. Not algorithm-friendly listicles. Just honest writing from people who spend too much money on records and lose sleep over speaker placement.
We cover new releases, gear, vinyl culture, and everything in between. No gatekeeping, no genre snobbery — just good music, written about well.
The Setup
Has opinions about tonearms that nobody asked for. Owns more turntables than any reasonable person should. Will spend 45 minutes explaining why your stylus matters — and honestly, you'll be glad he did.
Features & Reviews
Believes every album deserves to be heard on wax. Has strong feelings about inner sleeves, gatefolds, and why you should never stack your records horizontally. Probably listening to something incredible right now.
Hidden Gems & Formats
"Some records aren't found—they're earned." Lives for the thrill of discovery. Whether it's an overlooked jazz reissue, a forgotten post-punk 7-inch, a dusty cassette, or a Bandcamp release with barely a hundred listeners, the search is the story. Focuses on hidden gems, underground scenes, and records that quietly change lives.
Live & Atmosphere
"Some albums become unforgettable because of the night you heard them live." Writes about concerts, festivals, and live music culture. From intimate basement gigs to arenas, the focus is on the atmosphere, the audience, and the moments recordings can never capture. Expect concert reviews, venue spotlights, and artist interviews.
