So this is how I gather things to be: funny enough I go to discogs.com marketplace first, because I mostly want to buy old detroit records and out of print stuff.
for new, I do the following: read forced exposure new releases go to the local NYC stores (etherea first on Ave a - though it's a little hipster minimal for me, Halcyon in brooklyn - though it's a little hip hop for me, and only been to Dope Jams in Brooklyn once but they had tons of KDJ and deep detroit house). Hit up gramaphone everytime I come to Chicago. That's about it. Never done the clone thing, though I gather that might be great, other than shipping and currency exchange. ALSO! Anyone heard the Deadbeat - Roots and Wire album? Freaking nasty. Combination of quality reggae influenced vocal dub, really firm techno with some echo space flavor (without the "minor, dark, sad" chord feeling). I rarely get into anything dubby, but this has such nice techno recording quality. Really impressive. -- --- Michael Kuszynski kuszyn...@gmail.com i...@planerecordings.com http://www.planerecordings.com New York, NY
