Thanks for the suggestion!!! I'll have to add Ya Digg to my list of
places to hit while I'm in town.
I used to buy really excellent DNB, glitch and all manner of whatnot
at Record Time. I moved away before the dubstep thing got big, but I
assume I'll still be able to find current musical forms there and a
lot more. or maybe not.
Last year, I went to Detroit Threads for the first time (i kick myself
for having never gone there when I lived in the area) and snagged some
really excellent 2-step, as well as some clothing that I might just
feature at the festival this year... :)
For the record, when I'm shopping online for DNB/dubstep and willing
to pay full price, I head to juno, not boomkat. For some reason, I
feel suspicious of boomkat.

When I was in Detroit for the '95 Metroplex do, I bought scads of
records at Submerge, Record Time, and 7th City Distribution. The
security person at the airport remarked at the odd look of the packages
going through the X-ray machine - she quieted down when I told her they
were boxes of records.

Somewhere in Detroit is a must, for so many reasons. It's also close
to downtown. Melodies and Memories I could lose myself in for days.
A smaller, newer shop that sounds interesting is Ya Digg, written up
here by Denise D:

I don't imagine Detroit is a great place to shop for D&B, 2-step or
Dubstep. I thought everyone interested in those genre were
mail-ordering from Boomkat.com ;-)

Since I'm going to be in Detroit for DEMF, it goes without saying
that I
MUST go shopping for music.
What record stores are still open in Detroit? I need techno, dnb,
2-step,
dubstep, etc. Vinyl or CD, but I prefer CDs, especially used since
I'm on a
tighter budget than I'd prefer.
I was hoping to be able to go to Melodies and Memories, Detroit
Threads and
Record Time. Maybe I'll make the trek out to Flat Black and
Circular once
again (so far away, but always worth it).
Are there any other stores still around that're worth the few coins
I have
to spend?
According to the Submerge website, Somewhere in Detroit will be open
DEMF
weekend. I've never been there. I've never had to make an
appointment to go
record shopping anywhere. The whole idea is foreign to me. What's the
place like? Is it large or small? Is it mostly stuff that they sell
on the
website, or is the in-store stock more extensive? Can I work my way
through
the store in an hour or so, or should I set aside more time?
