Best store for the most IDM related stuff I've seen here is Jam records in
the Wallingford district (45st. N between Bayliss and Cornwall?).
Actually, Jimmy the owner is very good friends with the owner of
NoiseNoiseNoise records in Costa Mesa, CA.. so the two stores are actually
comparable, if you've been to one or the other. Anyway, it's right next
to the big glass TacoTime.
There's also Beats International, which used to be mainly house, but have
branched out a bit the last year. They cover all the angles of house, the
good ones especially. Off Olive just east of I-5 when it curves on a
hill. between downtown and Capitol Hill. There's a jungle/dnb offshoot
store just up the hill from the brand new Beats International digs.
Platinum records is the premiere "Me Dj, yo" store in Seattle..(whether
that's a good or bad thing is your take). Hip-hop, breaks, house, some
experimental, DJ gears, etc. Off Pike(?) just east of Broadway in Capitol
Hill.
Frequency 8 in Capitol Hill is good for the techno/trance heads (unless
they've branched out since). Also Orpheum records is good as a general
music store.. they have some dance records upstairs. No listening
stations.
Sonic Boom records in the Fremont district has some dance, but is mostly
the indie indie store. No listening stations.
Been to Fallout and Singles Going Steady once each. Mostly punk.
That's just in Seattle city proper. I'm sure there are other stores in
the surrounding cities and suburbs. (Isn't there a good store in the
eastside, like Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, etc.)
Sorry, not too many crossstreets and phone numbers here.. but hopefully
the names are spelled right, and you have plenty of 411 quality time.
