OUR STORY

Kismet Records is located inside The Wink Business Incubator in the Heart of Dutchtown.  We've been hard at it in St. Louis since 2014 starting out on Iowa Ave in the Cherokee Neighborhood.  We were a record store, an art gallery and a venue.  Since that time, we've come full circle, returning with an events place around the corner from the shop and reinvigorated interest in art (mostly my partner's expertise).  Musically, our focus is on more obscure and underground music including psychedelic reissues, shoegaze selections, strange soundtracks, indie bands, and experimental releases.  We also carry more mainstream used records.
