Oi people,
Visiting glasgow for one week and was wondering about nice record shops..

Ez

lol thers only 1 good record shop i know of............. rub a dub records

not been into rub a dub in ages, not since they re-jigged it and only had one rack of dnb.

oxfam on byres rd is always worth a look, mixed up records in otago lane as well, just a wee walk from byres rd

RubaDub has a surprising amount of dubstep in it these days, if you get in quick.

Not exactly masses, but more than they used to have, and newer stock too.


Oxfam and Mixed up records are both sweet - days can be lost rifling thru the crates! You can pick up some belters at both

Volcanic Tongue!

No dubstep, mostly post rock / experimental / generally really weird stuff. But it's a great place just to visit imo - down a little alley, into a courtyard, up a flight of stairs, into something that looks like someone's front room...

Avalanche records on Dundas street has a small selection of dubstep. Small CD section and some 12"s. I've bought D1 12"s on Tempa, Skream album, Dubstep Allstars, Rinse:01 and 03 and etc. from there.

cheers people will check em out...

Yep friday/sat best day to go in as thats when they normally get new stock in.

Richard who runs stuff records(put out rusties tunes) works in rubadub. He normally orders the dubstep. If doesn't seem like they've got much new shit always worth asking them. I find quite often they've got new shit in the back they haven't put out yet!

used to always go in on my way home years ago(time flys thinking bout it ) and check all the new stuff they had, can't be arsed going there anymore, too many disappointed visits and not having anything i want

is a good online shop, just looking he has dropped his prices a fair bit, think he is still running out of his house in rutherglen

Its shite how its actually a novelty to be able to go into an actual record store an browse.......

..but thats the case for me as most of my stuff i order online.

Totally know what you mean bout rubadub as i remember goin in an was nomally same shit hardly updated dubstep anyway. just not worth it really

Recently they've improved a lot tho. Generally anything new on Skull Disco, Hyperdub, Tectonic or DMZ they'll have stocked alongside other random stuff.

They've got nice minimal dubby techno section which tempts me down as well. I'd be so gutted if they shut down. They seem to do alright off equipment etc i hope.

Unless i'm totally missin somewhere they've got the best dubstep selection in glasga

Aye, I reckon. Not many contenders these days unfortunately.

Yeah, forgot about there actually, have grabbed a few things there in the past. Mr Ceskus keeps the dubstep on order!


Was in Oxfam today and picked up the greatest hits of Rick James on vinyl! Class. I'm gonna wear that one out.

They have my first ever turntables as their listening post, and they are still going strong! They haven't even changed my dirty old slipmats...

which are alll tempa.. lol

Well the rinse ones technically aren't. I also bought Skeng from there and I remember they had box of dub (which I didn't buy because I didn't think it was great).

is the other shop on byres rd still there? craig who used to worked in rubadub owned it...i think

Yeah, UpBeat records, its still there.

Haven't been in in ages mind you.

Loads of hip-hop, and some DnB if memory serves
