Latitude Record Store is a unique hybrid venue located in Germany, celebrated for its dual identity as both a cutting-edge nightclub and a vinyl lover’s paradise. Since its inception in the early 2010s, Latitude quickly established itself as a cornerstone of the underground electronic music community, drawing in a diverse crowd of locals, tourists, and tastemakers. The venue was initially opened in a converted industrial space on the outskirts of Berlin, capitalizing on the city's long-standing affiliation with techno and experimental sounds.

Over the years, Latitude built its reputation for curating immersive club nights focused on high-quality acoustics and an uncompromising music policy, with the record store component offering rare vinyl releases and fostering a sense of community among music collectors and DJs alike. As Berlin’s clubbing landscape evolved, Latitude Record Store underwent significant changes. In the late 2010s, it relocated closer to the city center, moving into a larger and more versatile premises.

The new space preserved the raw, industrial aesthetic of its origin but enhanced the venue's capabilities—adding better soundproofing, improved lighting, and dedicated spaces for both dancefloor and record shopping experiences. Latitude’s commitment to inclusivity and genre innovation has garnered it a cult following, and it is often cited in international publications as a symbol of Berlin’s resilience and creativity in the face of shifting cultural and legislative pressures. The venue is also revered for its support of emerging local talent, its annual all-night marathons, and collaborations with art collectives, expanding its influence beyond music to broader creative spheres.

Notable artists who have performed at Latitude Record Store include international icons such as Ben Klock, Honey Dijon, and Peggy Gou, alongside respected underground figures like Helena Hauff, DJ Stingray, and Motor City Drum Ensemble. The club is equally renowned for championing local talent, having hosted Berlin-based selectors such as Tama Sumo, a critical voice in dance music inclusivity, and Lakuti, as well as up-and-coming producers from the German scene like Iron Curtis and Perel. This eclectic mix of guests continues to cement Latitude’s status as an essential fixture in the global nightlife map.
