Back 2 U – Music Hangs & Records We Love

On a gorgeous early summer day in Montreal, Lexis returns for Episode #19 of Back 2 U, hosting another intimate session of back-to-back vinyl curation. This month, he’s joined by a local music staple—an artist who stopped by to spin their most meaningful records and share the stories behind the music.

Our guest is Chris, the creative force behind 180g vinyl café. For over a decade, this Rosemont hideaway has served as a sanctuary for music lovers. It’s the kind of hidden gem that’s well worth the trek, offering a perfect harmony of expert cappuccinos, a robust lunch menu, exceptional tunes, and an atmosphere that feels just like home.
