Surprised it's taken Syntax so long. They seemed to be a mess 5 years ago. We worked with them for a couple years, and I can't say much good about them except that John D (the owner) was cool. Eventually they were ordering fewer records of ours than we could sell direct in the USA by ourselves, which struck me as a little odd.
I order from dancerecords.com, or go to dope jams in brooklyn...also sometimes visit/order from turntable lab, submerge, or forced exposure. Thre's also a great recordstore in Chapel Hill, NC called CD alley (despite the name, it's full of as many records as cd's, and though they don't carry loads of dance music, they can order anything with US distrib for you). I still think there is opportunity for new record stores and distribs in the USA. All the old stores and distribs who are still centered around dance music as club/party/dj music are going to fail. The places I see it thriving are places that sell it side-by-side with jazz, disco, soul, rock, etc, ie as "real" music....tough times but a change for the better, in the long run, if you ask me. jt On Jan 10, 2008 12:09 PM, Generator Music <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Curious, where do some of you buy techno (domestic & > import) in the US?
