n-type has done a lot with his rinse mix!

ordered in another 25 copies or so...

thats a hefty amount but it's only 8.99 so it's flying out

will sort some pics soon....no-one seems used to where it is yet but it has a shitload of titles on it of all areas of dubstep in large quantities that makes the oxford street selection seem very poor indeed!

everything is in place now and it's been selling well...

no other hmv in the country has a display like the one i've thrown together after being given the go ahead by the RM.....i hope the pictures do it justice but for me this is a dubstep porn corner..

we have the clubroot in stock now by the way everyone...the only hmv in the country to get it in so far so croydon you are lucky
Image

we have as you can see the n-type cd in in big quantities for 8.99 so if you're going to buy it anywhere you should definitely come to us...we sold 6 in two days when it came out and we have around 20 in stock now...that's better than a lot of chart cds to be honest...

if you need help finding the section or wall just ask someone....ask me if i'm around...here's a picture of me with a kitten sleeping on me..

just to let you guys know it's doing better and better....some of the sales are crazily good!

we have a load of the king cannibal album 'let the night roar' in stock as well as of course the new hyperdub 2xcd compilation..

the back section i am treating like a dubstep chart wall in a sense and the newest releases (hyperdub comp, king cannibal, wild angels, n-type rinse cd) dominate the top bit of the wall...underneath we still have all the classics!

if you buy king cannibal you should get it from us....it will influence other stores to buy more in....

c ya in there!

recently encouragingly it's been

bear in mind that price plays a part...most dubstep cds cost a lot to buy in so we charge more....when they first come out we are the cheapest though usually...8.99 is the usual price for a new release...

I can see the martyn fabric cd doing well...

generally most customers that just ask for dubstep only want caspa...people into other stuff buy the more interesting stuff....some haven't heard of skream lol

which store man?

those are the bestsellers but you can tell him he needs steppas delight, hyperdub 5 years & the rinse cds at least!

the rinse cds do better than dubstep allstars tbh...
