- Bolero is mergings its collection with another record shop in the city, Rundgång.
Malmö's Bolero Records is having to relocate from its current premises.
The shop broke the news via Instagram last Thursday, June 15th. "After much contemplation and consideration, it's with a heavy heart that we've made the difficult decision to close the doors of our beloved underground space," the post read.
Bolero founder Diego Shim, AKA Dip Shim, told Resident Advisor that "time constraints, overwhelming stress, mistreatment and lack of consideration from one of our neighbours" has made the current setup untenable. "This realisation has led me to the decision that it's time for a new chapter in the journey of Bolero."
Rather than closing the shop entirely, Bolero has merged its collection with another record shop in the city, Rundgång. "It's the only record store in Malmö that shares our passion for underground electronic music," said Shim. "Through this collaboration, we can sustain our mission of serving the underground community."
Bolero's final day at its current location will be July 8th. The transition to Rundgång will take place after the summer. "As we embark on this new journey, I want to emphasise that my dedication to the music community remains strong," Shim added. "My vision has always been to connect people through music, foster a sense of community and support the local underground music scene."
