Record Shops in Los Angeles?

Post by icebagg » Wed Aug 04, 2010 8:10 am

Or any good (US) online stores for buying vinyl? None of the shops in my area have dubstep/dnb... I have used juno but with shipping it costs me almost $20 to buy a $9 dubplate. Someone help me out!

I don't use vinyl but I know Amoeba's CD dubstep collection is pretty damn limited.

Amoeba has a good collection of vinyl and CDs. Grooveriders definitely fills in the vinyl blanks. Nothing will replace shipping from the UK. I use www.chemical-records.co.uk all the time with great success.

If you're interested in the correct terminology, and not sounding dumb, you'll be interested in the following information. A dubplate and a 12" record are two totally different things. You can't buy a dubplate from a record shop, unless its some collectable old Jerry Lee Lewis. You have to cut your own dubplate from a mastering studio. A dubplate is something you cut, if you want to have a particular track in the dubplate format.

One would not refer to a 12" record bought in a shop as a 'dubplate.' You can if you want to tho', this is the intetnet right ? Not that I'm trying to make rules for you, i'm just educating a brotha' Now you can also offer me advise, if you see me flopping around under some kind of similar misconception.

Well I am actually not looking for correct terminology, Im looking for a record shop haha. but thanks? I am from a mostly hip hop background and even hip hop records we call dubplates. a record, any record, wether it be 12", 7", whatever still a dubplate but it may be different where u live. either way i am looking for a record made of vinyl with dubstep tunes on them.

Amoeba doesnt have shit for dubstep cd's, they had SOME but very limited dnb cd selection, another reason for this is (most) dubstep isnt released on CD. They actually had a respectable dubstep VINYL selection. Only problem is thy charge anywhere between $12-$30 for a record. I spent 40 and got 3 records....not the investment i was looking for. I havnt tried grooveriders yet but i hear they got a good slection. And i will continue to search online, thanks for the help guys!

I found some pretty good 6blocc mixes in Amoeba, they also had the new Vex'd CD... they have lots of dubstep CDs, even their own section. don't know where else this phenomenon exists on the west coast.

well i mean with an official dubstep section, a segment of the store with a piece of plastic that says "Dubstep" sticking out of it. But then again I havent been to Oregon or Washington for a while
