I went in to Detroit Threads one time in 1999 and they had 2/3 of the Concept box set with the box for $5 a record. I couldn't afford all of the records, so I only bought 2 of them. I am still kicking myself.
I am also suspicious of Boomkat, but that is because everything there is a record of the year judging by the reviews.

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. {}0+>| On 5/19/2010 5:51 PM, kent williams wrote: > Somewhere in Detroit is a must, for so many reasons. It's also close > to downtown.
