    best record store for chillout?

    Does anyone know any record stores, online or otherwise, that stock a good selection of downtempo/chillout tracks?

    Stuff like Agnelli & Nelson - Holding On To Nothing (Chillout Mix) or Conjure One - Sleep (Solar Stone Afterhours Mix)

    I pretty much know where I can find albums of downtempo artists like Thievery Corp or Sigur Ros, but I'm looking for a store that carries chillout mixes of other styles of music. I usually get stuff from dancerecords.com and they have a definite lack.

    Maybe Crooked Beat Records in Adams Morgan? I checked that out a week after they opened but their purchaser of electronic music hadn't yet brought that portion of the stock in... I'll have to drop by sometime and check it.

    crooked beat has a fair amount of used chill/downtempo gems spread amongst
    its shelves. you gotta search around and be patient though.

    i picked up an old skylab ep on astralwerks that's pretty top notch.

    I avoid Juno unless I'm looking for something specific... pricey to get stuff shipped here.

    i usually pick up the stuff i like just kind of randomly when i am overseas. i travel for work, different country every month, and have found some great stuff. some Arabic lounge stuff in Beirut and Morroco, some very chill lounge by local DJ's in France, Belgium and Amsterdam. just always trying to keep my eyes and ears open for new shit.

    crooked beats is a good store but you have to know exactly what youre looking for or what you like. it's not good for browsing because there is very little there that you can actually listen to, and the organization is a little lacking.

    online though... you cant really beat www.milkrecords.net. or at least, i cant. that store is the shit. now dont go buying out the shit i want from there though.
