forget about getting any help from these snobs. if it isn't on their own label, they could give a toss. nothing new is in stock unless its a major vinyl release. try to ask them if/when a record is coming out and they are waaay inconvenienced. guys, you might be the main d&b shop in town but there are way too many superb online shops who actually have what your clients are really looking for (without the attitude) to run your biz like that. more

While unquestionably the city's premiere drum&bass shop, the help and selection can vary. Staff can range from incredibly cool, helpful, enthusiastic (recommendations, etc) while others front with knowitall DJ 'tude if you so much as forget what label a release is on (and God help you if you buy something on CD). As for new releases, they really do get it all, but stuff can also disappear quickly, with staff and regulars snatching up fresh UK 12""s before they ever make it out onto the racks for you punters. Stuff is also pricey but you can check it all out on one of the store's half-dozen turntables before dropping your hard-earned cash and then go home safe in the knowledge that you've almost certainly scored the tune before anybody else in town. Pros: selection, atmosphere Cons: selection, attitude more

DJ's Dara, dB, and others bring you a great collection of the best in drum 'n bass, breaks, jungle, dub, etc... vinyl selections at this New York staple! Always friendly and helpful staff of working DJs know whats hot and new, and are not stuck on themselves like at other shops in Manhattan. I highly recommend this shop! more
