I have been to Baltimore at least once a year for the last 4 years 'holidaying', I love the place. Reptillian Records always cleans me out and vice versa.

What shop is good for beats?

Last few months have been very dry on the vinyl buying front for me but I just grabbed £35 worth. There was a point when i was spending about £250 a month though

Yeah its better to buy in bulk then you get the free postage. Only downside is you dont give your new shit full attention like you would if you only bought 2 12's.

There used to be 2 record stores that specialized in EDM, now there are none :-( I'll have to lookup Reptillian Records, I've never heard of that.
If you get down to Fells Point (which I'm guessing you have b/c that's one of the cool, non-trendy/touristy spots) get to Soundgarden. They have a decent amount of wax from different genres and all kinds of other cool shit. D.C. is only about 30 minutes away and they have a couple good stores. Hit me up if you feel like playing our show, we're always looking to bring new heads in to play.

Yeah, Fells point is deffo tourist. My friend Megan who worked Sidebar took me down there. Its kinda boring haha. We just went to all these Irish bars all day drinking Jamesons which I can pretty much do here.

Natty Bo makes me piss like a motherfucker though.

Will be over in November. Havent been over this year yet. Would love to play some records. I just hate taking them with me.

usually around 100 pound a week on actual vinyl, then cop around a 20 pound shipping fee to Aus. Doesn't help when you get paid monthly... :?

I dont understand what you mean...for "bengalike" I mean all release by big name and all release by prolific artist :wink:
I spend about 200/220 pound every month... :|
eddiamoci la mano allora!

I still dont spend that much but my criteria is even worse, I spend on vinyl/mp3/tapes as much as I can

varies depending on what is about, if i had the money too i'd probably only spend about 50 (on just dubstep that is) as i'm very picky about what i buy, means that i love every tune in my rekurd box though, there are none that i'm a bit 'meh' about

anyway...for me this is caused by the fact that I buy all...techno/4x4/minimal/stepper/ragga/electronic/bengalike releases...yeah...really to much...[/quote]


How you can buy "all" techno/4x4/minimal etc. releases??I mean there are many good tunes for shure but they`re not all that good & there are many shit releases as well.
