Kernkrach began in Münster in early 2018, when its owner spotted an empty shop being cleared on the way to hospital and started life again with the record shop he had always wanted; the move to Oberhausen followed the need for more room. The racks are strongest on wave, Neue Deutsche Welle, indie, punk, hardcore and rock, then metal, reggae, jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, film music and pop, with cassettes and new stock in minimal synth and darkwave from tiny underground labels worldwide. Buying is a specialism: whole collections anywhere in Germany, over 35 years of experience, cash or PayPal.
