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...

One exception is certainly Detroit Threads. I know that folks like
Huckaby, Theo, Kyle Hall, BMG and Juan Atkins personally walk
their new releases into the store. These are some of the names the
owner of Threads has mentioned to me and I am sure there are many
others. They usually get about $5 cash for each 12" before it is
sold for a few bucks more on the floor. If you are there at the
right time you will see definitely see new Detroit records before
they pop up on places like Juno.
Then there are the records that are released by Detroit labels for
the festival. Many labels have historically timed their
new releases to coincide with the festival. You get those in
Detroit first. Some of these are also exclusive to Detroit, such
as Theo's spray painted Skteches, Deepchord DEMF editions, etc.
And then on top of that you have people like KDJ who pull out a
box full of mint copies of Shades of Jae and JAN to sell at the
festival.
When it comes to this time of year, I agree with Darnistle's
comment that Detroit is the best place to shop for Detroit techno
(and house for me). There is a bunch of new stuff I have been
holding out on because I know it can be had there.
Cheers,
John
