17.01.2022 To all the beloved members of the network, it is with a heavy heart that today I am announcing that Network Connection Records will be closing the doors on its King St premises for good. The last few months have truly been extraordinary times, with challenges and pressures felt by all, and it was my unique set of challenges that unfortunately lead me to the very tough decision of letting our brick and mortar home go. With every challenge, however, comes new opportunities and... in this spirit I assure that this is not the end of NCR. The network will live on through it’s digital channels and as the dust settles on this significant change I look forward to bringing some exciting updates to the web store and podcast series. NCR will continue to grow and adapt as the times change around us and with your support I hope it will remain a part of Sydney’s outstandingly lush musical tapestry. The ride thus far absolutely couldn’t have been done alone and so I wish to extend my deepest and most earnest thanks to everybody who has given their time, energy, curiosity and support to the project. To Nat, Jackson and Rob for the countless hours, passion, advise and support you so generously gave in and out of the store - Network wouldn’t be what it is without you and words can’t express how grateful I am for it. To Sarita, Rhys, Jacob & Nicholas for giving up your time to hold down the store so I could afford some respite from a 7 day working week - I owe you all my sanity! To all the labels and the beautiful people behind them who’s inspiring music helped shape a badass local catalog that any self respecting record store could be proud of - Moonshoe Outer Time Inner Space - OTIS Records Ken Oath Records Post Pluto Butter Sessions Analogue Attic Recordings Moontown Records Fifty Records Midnight Swim - you were among the first we ever stocked and have certainly helped pave the way for the blossoming array of amazing labels and artists doing amazing things in 2020 and beyond. To Millie for being my rock and inspiration and for being so bloody patient with me. To the Nectar angels & Mama Snake for co-ordinating workshops we were so honoured to provide a home for. To Gilles Peterson & Worldwide FM for the most insane and inspiring broadcast we’ve ever hosted and to Inertia Music & Flying Lotus for the longest cue we’ve ever seen. To Gem for lovingly creating Network’s original visual embodiment, and Wesley for crafting our King St Identity. To all the selectors who made a gorgeous racket at our in store sessions - and last but certainly not least - all the customers and supporters who bought music or came out and made a vibe at said sessions. I owe each and every one of you a debt of gratitude and I look forward to continuing to share with and be inspired by you all. Love and thanks, Josh & NCR xx See more
