Hi there,

At the end of July I'm visiting Berlin with some friends for some goold old partying (& to check out the city). Me and one mate want to spend one day digging during the trip. I was wondering if somebody has a recommendation for a second hand record store with electronic music? Preferably minimal/(tech)-house/ techno but I'm open for other (electronic) stuff too. I've been to Audio-in before which was nice but I would like to check out something else. At HHV, Spacehall and Hardwax ordering online is also possible so I don't really feel the urge to digging there.

From what I've heard, the Record Loft is supposed to be a good place for second-hand digging. Can any of the Berliners (or people that have visited) share their experience? Or recommend another store ofcourse.

Thanks in advance!
Marty

Probably too late on the response, but Bikini Waxx in Kreuzberg and The Record Loft are my favorite digs in Berlin. Bikini Waxx has a really well organized selection, lots of new and used records. The Record Loft is a little more of a dig, similar to A1 in NYC if you're familiar.

It was a little too late indeed, thanks for the reply though I ended up going to the Record Loft twice, amazing store if you want to get your hands dirty. Best find: Villalobos remix of the Sinner in me by Depeche Mode. Since it is a white label it was a nice surprise. I will check out Bikini Waxx next time I visit Berlin.

record loft used to be a great place for digging 4-5 years ago. spacehall also has a huge stock of second-hand records. others are marla and black-round-twelve

Loved SpaceHall when I was there few years ago.

yeah spacehall is wicked, some really great finds there. minimal section is huge too!

not been to record loft's new incarnation yet. how is it?
