About Us

Skeleton Dust Records opened in October 2017 in downtown Dayton, Ohio. It features an eclectic and curated selection of pop, rock, alternative, metal, punk, noise, industrial, experimental, electronic, funk/soul, jazz, reggae, hip hop, folk, blues, country, and world music on vinyl, CD, and cassette format. The store also offers a selection of printed materials and new & used equipment. Additionally, it acts as an art space for live performances and visual art showings from artists in the Dayton area and beyond.

Our store has a strong focus on supporting experimental and underground music and art, and we are proud to be able to act as a channel in the community for the expression of artists and musicians that operate outside mainstream culture. As business owners, we also firmly believe in the power of sharing our personal values with our customers and the community, and using our voice to say what we believe is true, just, and fair for everyone. Since we opened, we have always identified as a space where everyone is welcome, no matter the color of your skin, sexuality, age, gender, religion, orientation, or special needs. We stand in support with the people that are marginalized and discriminated against at the hand of hatred, ignorance, and bigotry and strive to treat everyone in accordance with our beliefs.
