In honor of all the great record stores in the world still doing their (essential!) thing. We asked some of our favorite artists out there to give us a little run down of their personal favorites.
Here are some of DJ DAY‘s personal favorites.
Favorite Hometown Record Store : The Record Alley, Palm Desert (US)
@DJDay: It’s been around since before I was even buying records. Great folks and there’s always a gem or 2 hidden in there (Klute OST like whoa).
Favorite International Record Store : Groove Merchant, San Francisco (US)
@DJDay: This is a tough one…and while I’d like to say Superfly in Paris, or O-Ton in Berlin, or Northside in Melbourne, I’m gonna have to go with Groove Merchant in good old SF. Hands down my favorite record store on the planet.
R.I.P Store you miss the most : Aron’s Records, Hollywood (US)
@DJDay: So many great memories of that place and I always left with something good. RIP.
