About Us

My name is Sham and I hail from South Africa. I made the move to the UAE in 2016, making it our home after my wife received an amazing opportunity. What began as casually building my own vinyl record collection, quickly evolved into a passion project that is now my full-time gig. As we all know too well, the vinyl addiction kicks in hard!

I found that as much as I loved the music, the hunt was really what got me the most excited. I love people and hearing the story behind their music collections. Weekends were spent reaching out to multiple suppliers and browsing the web in search of obscure titles, old classics, and big hits.

​

In the beginning, our lounge was slowly being taken over by boxes of records. Our earliest customers would trust us and share their precious wish lists and some even come over and flip through the latest finds. We were experiencing such loyalty from our customers that we decided to make it official and start our website to broaden our reach to audio lovers across the United Arab Emirates and the wider GCC.

 

Thus, Retro House was born! It’s been a wild ride! We have loved getting to know our dedicated customers over WhatsApp and email, and our enthusiastic melophiles that we get the pleasure of chatting with. Your excitement is contagious and motivates us to continue striving to provide you with the best audio in your desired format.

Your support means the world to us
