    Unlock the secret! Favorite online record shops.

    C'mon DJs... Tell us your favorite record stores that you buy from (or hope to buy from).

    What do you like about the site/store?
    Do they have high-quality audio previews?
    Do they have tracks that you know other DJs won't be playing?
    Good/bad experiences with online record shopping?

    Come clean... tell us your dirty secrets.:feedback:

    underground scores galore!! great prices, limited editions of hard, banging rave psychosis.

    Nothing but rare, calssic, and new release dnb and jungle. This store closed a couple years ago, but they secretly gave away their entire stock FOR FREE. They still have a domain name, but it seems to be for privileged eyes only, at this point.

    Great Minneapolis-based record shop. Very diverse selection, and the people who work there are some good friends. This place almost single-handedly fuels the upper midwest EDM community. I owe them much support for they many years of hard work and dedication to the scene. They deserve your attention (and your patronage).

    Can't find that track you've been looking for?? When all else fails, check Discogs. Create an account and you can keep an account of your entire record collection. Find something you want, put it on your want list. People selling the item will contact you via e-mail letting you know that it's for sale. Priceless. It's also a great history lesson, as you can look through a discography every release a record label has had as well as artists. A Must.

    I shop at the usual... Satellite, Dancerecords, Juno, Gemm, Ebay, etc. Shame that Release went all-digital.

    One of the more underground ones that I know is a local: http://www.recastow.com

    Redeyerecords.co.uk is my fave. they have cheap shipping (from the UK anyway) and they usually have what I want, considering my musical needs are somewhat esoteric. BM-soho.com has a much better selection of dubstep/grime/2-step but they charge way too much for shipping. you generally end up paying about 3-4 pounds for each record. yipes!

    I generally tend to go to the labels themselves. If i'm just browsing i'll just download entire m3u lists at juno though.

    I am partial to:

    www.2thebeat.com

    the service has always been good, the music selection solid and the owner is a friend of mine.
    There is no such thing as happy hardcore, there is happy music and then there is hardcore.

    I've probably shopped at 20-30 different online record shops in the past year. Here are a few that I always seem to go back to:

    Vital Vinyl (www.vitalvinyl.com): Local to me, one of the few record stores left in the midwest. Music, gear and more. I recently started helping ordering house tracks there so I may be a bit biased ;)

    2theBeat (www.2thebeat.com): Awesome service, they used to receive white labels from some of my favorite labels. Their digital site could use a bit of work but beyond that, I love these guys.

    TrackItDown (www.trackitdown.net): Found this site through mixmag, digital only. This is the biggest gem I know of that I'm willing to share. Miles Dyson releases lots of tracks here and his stuff is amazingly hot.

    Dance Records (www.dancerecords.com): I don't need to say much here, it's dance records.
