About Us

Mondo Negro is a dark, pure, and endless universe – born from passion, built on instinct.

What began in 2015 as a way to share leftover vinyl from a DIY record label slowly evolved into something deeper – a curated vinyl and book shop for those drawn to the beautiful, the obscure, and the emotionally raw. Unusually, the name came first. Once it did, the floodgates opened, and everything else began to take shape.

Mondo Negro digs beneath the surface of the mainstream, stocking rare vinyl records and music books from independent labels, visionary artists, and underground thinkers across the globe. From the shimmering calm of ambient soundscapes to the suffocating weight of sludge and black metal, from minimal synth to noise, art pop to dark folk – if it stirs something real in us, it belongs here.

We offer over 1,300 curated vinyl releases and books, with new arrivals weekly – many limited editions sourced directly from independent record labels or the artists themselves. Whether you're a vinyl collector, crate digger, or just beginning your journey, this is a space for deep listening and discovery. It’s not about genre – it’s about feeling. 

This isn’t just a record store online. It’s a two-way street—a place for dialogue, exchange, and connection. A vinyl distro spirit with a collector’s heart. 

Though based in Lisbon, we naturally ship worldwide. Whether you're searching for rare music editions, underground music, or simply want to buy records online, Mondo Negro welcomes you. 

We believe that beauty often hides in the shadows. We’re here to shine a light on it.
