Profile
Eldica Records
Eldica records is a cornerstone of the community – nearly 20 years ago Eldica Records opened on Bradbury Street by Annie Joachim Joseph, later joined by her husband Andy Westbury who handpicks the stock. Annie’s grandmother Eldica Joachim (the shops namesake) was an influential name amongst the West Indian expatriates and music scene of 1950s London.
An Aladdin’s cave of familiar sounds you’ve never heard before, Eldica provides vinyl selections of sounds from around the world to the DJ’s and collectors of Hackney. As the area has transformed around it, Eldica has resisted, standing strong whilst the neighbourhood has been subjected to the pressures of gentrification.
