Xmas Special ! Crate Diggin' With Luca from 8mm Records!

In a Christmas special, the Gas Giants talk in person to Luca Massolin, head honcho of a vinyl empire, about music, business, and the music business...

One of the first things that Luca turned up was this rarity, which features the father of Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay….but which one of those masked men is he?

The Businesses

  • 8mm Records itself is all over Instagram, but you can see their Discogs page HERE.

  • Fiasco Porto is a Tokyo Jazz Kissaten in the Heroismo quarter of Porto.

    HERE is an article from a Portuguese lifestyle magazine, which has some great photos.

  • HERE is the Discogs page for 8mm records, the label.

  • 8mm in Barcelona can be located through their instagram 8mm_bcn.

  • From Jan 1st the new website should be up. Link HERE

The Music

We talked a lot of Music with Luca and it would be impractical to list everything, but there are some highlights to point out…

  • HERE is a long dissertation about New Music during the Estado Novo, which we touched upon during our conversation.

  • Miles plays Cascais…

  • …then Charlie Haden plays Cascais with Ornette Coleman and runs in to a little problem with the PIDE…

  • We also mentioned Sonoscopia, which has done a lot for “Outsider” Music. Link

A record from the Quarteto Smoog turned up in a crate…

…and this one is planned as a reissue.

Other Record Shops in Porto

Aside from Luca’s operation, the invincible city has much to offer the record collector. Here are some of Gav’s favourites…

  • Porto Calling. A great city centre shop tucked into a 60’s era arcade. Good selection of second hand and new vinyl, which changes regularly. Great website with a full mail order catalogue available HERE.

  • Discos do Bau. Not far from the Miquel Bombarda gallery quarter. Good selection of Rock, Pop, Jazz and even some Classical; all second hand. Full website available HERE.

  • Louie Louie, also city centre location. I have yet to go into this shop without coming out with something. Website HERE.

  • Away from Porto, we also mentioned this combination of Air bnb and Record shop in London, HERE.
