    www.just-music.com is quite new and getting good reviews and an execllent selection of stuff. It was setup by techno producers to provide an online platform for them to release stuff so it's well worth a poke.

    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    but juno rip folks off bigtime with postage, thayve lost countless orders frommyself cause of this..

    once i even asked them to explain why they were charging me 18 quid for around 15-16 records...no responce.

    and i never got them next day...

    they do have an excellent selection tho so if you dont mind getting ripped off go for them..

    as mirsha said just-music is really good.

    yav got tuneinn , web records(german), phuture rave for indusrail/nboise/hardcore. banging tunes nu-loop, and loads of others..

    i usually just searc for shops and see what different folks have at the time.

    always worth checking www.elpmedien.de for up to date stuff and a healthy back catalogue

    to crime

    i much prefer going into a record shop selling techno but thats a rarity nowdays.Especially where i live.You cant beat sifting through hundreds/thousands of techno records.

    Actually selactadisc in notts is good sometimes,apart from arrogant staff!

    Best record shop i went to was techno import in paris.

    www.gemm.com - Not a shop, but access to everything. Ever. Wishlists at the ready for those who haven't used it before...

    Then a mix of Juno & Tuneinn and Covert.

    I use musichead.de quite a bit for half decent audio clips.

    Used to shop there myself one apon a time, the funny thing was, once I started doing a bit of work in distribution, I heard the same kind of bitching coming from the people selling the records to selectadisk, as I used to hear from my mates trying to buy the records!!!! Suppose I'm spoilt really living here, we have Hardwax, spacehall, angry plastic and a whole load of other smaller shops around, and much more of an interesting mix of music than I found in shops in the uk.. the scene in the UK is very "Safe" IMO

    Must say Confused in The Hauge has the best back cat of most labels I have seen in Holland, probably due to their high prices comparing to other like Bouqtis in Asmterdam (Near Mid-Town record), even their selection is not the greatest, but they are as cheap as Web-records in some import stuff.

    Yeah, I shop at Juno, they do good deals on Novamute, like the Luke Vibrant _Lover Acid is only 3.99, and LFO mix of R. of a hit is 4.99..... Give and take... Give and take...
    If you have no time to sell your records online - I offer a service to list them on my shop at - http://www.discogs.com/user/Djdtl

    Not a sales pitch but Basement Trax is an Aladins cave of techno, the sort of place you can lose hours of you life rifling through forgetten gems. Too many people are buying the new & next big thing and are obsessed with getting the new upfront releases, try going through the crates and checking out stuff you haven't heard of before.

    Just because it's old doesn't make it crap.
