Kernkrach began in early 2018, when a health scare put its owner in front of an empty shopfront in Muenster that was being cleared out, and a long-held wish for a record shop of his own turned real. The buying counter takes used rock, pop, punk, indie, wave, Neue Deutsche Welle, metal and reggae, whole collections included, anywhere in Germany, paid cash or PayPal; classical, Schlager and Volkstum are politely declined. Selling, the racks lean the same way, wave, NDW, indie, punk and hardcore and rock, then metal, reggae, jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop, film music and pop, restocked weekly, with cassettes alongside. New stock arrives from small underground labels around the world, minimal synth, darkwave, wave, indie and punk, and all Kernkrach product is on the shelf. Outgrowing Muenster, the shop has now moved to Oberhausen.
