a bit short notice but maybe someones got an idea

thx.

there's somin called melting point maybe? or subrider? can't remember.. think it's monthly...and dno wat day of the week..
not much help really...

Don't know if you're into reggae or not but Horace Andy and Johnny Clarke are playing this thurs @ Elysee Montmatre.Anthony B playing tues and Roy Ayers playing on weds, both @ Cabaret Sauvage[all part of the black summer festival]
Patate Records is a great Reggae,Dub,Dancehall and Roots shop that also stocks some Dubstep and Jungle.[it's on Rue De Charonne i think]Deep Roots is another fine reggae specialist and it's on on rue Lucien Sampaix which I think is near Jacques Bonsergent metro.There's a few others listed here as well http://www.reggaefrance.com/annuaire.php .
Minuit Maroquinerie[Rue Boyer] is a theatre/concert hall that often has nice club nights on,[went to a really cool hip hop night there i think],not sure about midweek tho.Cafe Charbon[rue oberkampf] is an amazing refurbed art nouveau building that has cool gigs/club nights on the reg.Paris Plage has also just started,which means that the banks of the Seine are turned into an urban beach for a couple of months[there's usually music and or dj stuff happening and it's nearly always free!
Best bet is to buy a listings mag such as Nova,Technikart,or Les Inrockuptibles when you get there.Hope this is of some use to you man.

^heading to paris next weekend, this info will come in handy, thanks.

that last link is pretty funny actually
the forum directs you to this one

i tried to find dubstep in paris last summer

none was found

only shop i got directed from black label had like 10-15 old and not so good records

amsterdams shops were best

yes both for weed and records

in my experience paris is a bit dry for night life, especially in the summer cos most of the parisiens decamp to the countryside and a lot of the clubs shut down for a month or two. getting a cab can also be a nightmare

however if theres any good nights on, a club called Bat au Far is different - its a nightclub in a boat floating on the Sienne. Has a decent soundsystem and a grimey feel - i've seen UK Hip Hop and jungle there. Otherwise Point Epherme might be ok, i think they have dubstep nights there but no idea if there'll be anything decent on when your there.

PS spellings are a guess!
