Re: (313) Recordstores NYC
My favorite shop for new music is Halcyon, in Dumbo (Brooklyn): halcyonline.com A1 is great for used Disco and Hip-Hop, as is The Sound Library on Ave A. There's a new, smaller shop on East 2nd street b/w Ave A B (or maybe B C?) that had a decent selection of used disco, house and reggae. I can't recall the name offhand... I'd also suggest Academy Records in Williamsburg (somewhere around N6th street and Berry St.) they have a nice diverse selection of stuff, though mostly used. Vinyl Market keeps somewhat irregular hours, as it's only employee is the owner, Kazu. Turntable Lab is good, though small. I haven't hit Dope Jams, as it's inconveniently located for me. As for Syntax: John D is not the owner, he's the Domestic Buyer. Mike M and Stas are/were the owners. I'm going there tomorrow to pick up some of their stock so I'll see what's up. They still have lots of stuff, they've just stopped buying new music and are liquidating their backstock. Unique also apparently closed up shop, but I haven't heard any details yet. Have fun in NYC! e Scatalogics 205 15th Street #A7 Brooklyn, NY 11215 talent copies but genius steals www.scatalogics.com Out Now!: 1. Ulysses The Wanderings of a Handkerchief Suicide Recordings, feat. Jamie Jones remix. 2. Jordan Dare Voyeur11 (Boom Music) Sodium Records, feat. Ulysses Remix. 3. Ulysses Resistance Sodium Records, feat. Tony Rohr Nick Chacona Remixes. I really like Vinyl Market, on E 10th St and 1st Ave. It's got a really small sign, and it's not right on the corner, but maybe one or two buildings west on 10th St. Lots of UR, seem to remember the whole Dust Science catalog there, ran into Paul Kendrick of the list randomly.

Re: (313) Recordstores NYC
My favorite shop for new music is Halcyon, in Dumbo (Brooklyn): halcyonline.com i've never been to halcyon either...dunno why none of my (other) friends go there.. A1 is great for used Disco and Hip-Hop, as is The Sound Library on Ave A. a1 can be great for everything. freestyle, italo, old house and techno as well...if you go here often enough to snatch the super-goodies before someone else does..last time i was there i picked up keynotes (incognito #1) for $15, mint, i'm very happy with it. they have bonafide sections for nu groove, dj int'l, trax, strictly, detroit, etc etc, though the prices aren't always a steal...it's definitely worth checking for house and techno, blues, jazz, anything really. where on A is the sound library? I'd also suggest Academy Records in Williamsburg (somewhere around N6th street and Berry St.) they have a nice diverse selection of stuff, though mostly used. is it academy that just opened a new store in manhattan in december? i think so. i went opening day, but i can't remember what it was called, or quite where it was. somewhere in the lower east side as well i think. As for Syntax: John D is not the owner, he's the Domestic Buyer. Mike M yeah minto corrected me on that too, doh. anyways, he was good to work with. but overall syntax was a pretty mediocre experience, late payments, very minimal support, no real personal interest in what we were doing or personal relationships etc...same story with watts...we never had much of a positive experience with american distrib.. jt

Re: (313) Recordstores NYC
I'll let the real new yorkers comment on smaller, more specialized shops, but I always enjoy a visit to Other Music: http://www.othermusic.com/ -- some people think it's pretentious, some people are put off by the standoffish mooks who work there. But they do a great job of covering all of my musical interests -- electronic, interesting rock, jazz, experimentalists of all genres. I never get away from there without spending more than I can afford, and I have several world-class record stores in my little burg.

Re: (313) Recordstores NYC
wow still record stores in iowa city? that's a hopeful sign.. dope jams has fairly complete backstock for labels like planet e and basic channel, sound sig, kdj, even loads of old CR records, it's good. there is very very little garbage in there, and they also have a nice disco, soul, jazz, and hiphop selection. they do not have a broad selection of all the new-newest releases though, it's pretty slim in that regard, but they pick up good stuff. i have never been to other music. i am not sure why other recommends from me would be turntable lab and defffinitely a-1, which is like 2 blocks from tt lab. a-1 is the sister store of the thing (legendary digging spot), they get first pick from any new record collections they acquire...unless you're a super bargain-hunter i would skip the thing and check out the rare goodies at a-1. if you are up for digging for a whole day for super-bargain gems among 100,000 records, hit the thing. you might not find any detroit techno there after digging for 12 hours, but it's something to behold, anyways. jt

Re: (313) Recordstores NYC
nah, ttlab is decent for hiphop, world music, jazzy stuff, broken beat, bmore club, and especially edits and reissues/classics...also a nice dvd section. they had a couple dozen detroit-ish records when i was in there mid december, but mostly pretty obvious stuff..c2, kdj, brikha, etc. they didn't have much equipment when i was in there..some. i didn't look at it. they definitely have a focus on merch now, with a whole side of the store reserved for clothing and stuff. it's a shiny place.

ARGH. when i was at turntable lab i didn't see anything but tons of hipster garbage (i seriously thought they were, like, the DFA/tiger sushi official shop or something) and one KDJ record, and a ton of way overpriced equipment. ymmv. i need to check out dope jams and vinyl market before they too go out of business.
