when I first discovered dance music, I used to buy records at Frankie Bones' store Sonic Groove. small, narrow shop (kind of similar in size to black market in soho, without the downstairs) run by him, his brother Adam X and Heather Heart. they had huge PA speakers hanging on chains from the ceiling, the cash register was on a raised platform alongside the decks and they'd be spinning insane ravey shit at club volumes while you flipped through the racks. on Saturday afternoons, you could barely squeeze in, got turned on to so much wild shit there (including all the Drop Bass Network 12s that @thirdform loves so much).

you young 'uns missed so much by not having niche record stores around. the right ones were scene destinations: vinylmania for house/US garage (a few blocks from paradise garage, Larry levan would sometimes come in and listen to new stuff dressed in his pajamas, no joke), sonic groove for rave/techno, temple records downstairs from the liquid sky store for jungle.
