Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
Definitely agree! My comments only pertained to trying to obtain SPECIFIC (limited quantity) records that you already know you want. However, rest assured you will find some vinyl goodness at Detroit Threads during festival weekend. ~dp On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 2:40 PM, John Sokolowski jrsokolow...@hotmail.com wrote: One exception is certainly Detroit Threads.

Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
Sadly, due to rising costs, poor US market, and poor US distributors, the brutal truth is that most of the best new Detroit records are now ONLY available in Europe; basically, although I live in Chicago, when I want new Detroit music, I order from Juno, Boomkat and Hardwax. I don't even bother checking US stores anymore if I am looking for specific records, though of course I do shop at Gramaphone here in Chicago from time to time as well. It seems that the whole EDM popularity over here has not helped with the US vinyl market for underground house and techno at all. I had hoped that increasing vinyl sales would help things, but I can only assume that the rising popularity of vinyl is limited more to indie rock type music, here in the US... ~David On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 10:14 PM, Richard Hester gwrenc...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Unless you happen to be in Berlin, sad to say...

Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
Of course there's the S.I.D. series only available to those who actually show up at Submerge. I got three of the series when I was in the D for the Metroplex 10th Anniversary do (I hauled away two boxes of records/CDs from Submerge, 7th City, and Record Time). I still cherish those SID discs, and you'll hear bits from two of them tonight on my show... ja...@iridite.com wrote: Plus buying a record in a certain place gives you additional associations when you listen to it in the future! cheers Jason On 10 May 2013 20:40, John Sokolowski jrsokolow...@hotmail.com mailto:jrsokolow...@hotmail.com wrote: One exception is certainly Detroit Threads.

RE: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
I’ve never found much IDM in Detroit but for those other genres I’d recommend the following spots for vinyl (can’t really comment on CDs): Stormy Records in Dearborn Goth/Punk + plenty more rock vinyl Record Collector in Ferndale I’ve found quite a lot of very good condition old techno 12”s here over the years People’s Records on Woodward Quite a random mix of industrial, old techno and drum and bass (e.g. Reinforced) can be found in the dollar bins but you’ve got to dig Street Corner in Oak Park Found plenty of old techno here + they sell quite a lot of CDs From: Darnistle McKuik [mailto:darnis...@gmail.com] Sent: 09 May 2013 16:21 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit Techno- especially Detroit-related Drum n Bass Goth/Punk IDM I prefer CDs, but I do buy vinyl as well.

Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
You definitely want to hit Stormy, but make sure you get there before the weekend because they close on Sunday and Monday that weekend. If you get in touch with Windy she will go out of her way to give you a comprehensive list of the remaining record stores in Detroit.

Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
Thanks for the suggestions! I've always wanted to check out Stormy Records, but Saturday has traditionally been the day I make the trek out to Flat, Black and Circular in East Lansing then Encore in Ann Arbor on the way back to Detroit, time permitting, before I check out the festival. Perhaps I'll skip Ann Arbor this year and do Dearborn instead. Regardless, over the course of the weekend I'd like to ensure that I go to stores that carry Detroit techno, since Detroit is still the best place for me to shop for it.
