Isn't there still a famous DC store called Twelve Inch Dance Records? I've never been to DC but I first heard about this place about 15 years ago.
Just found a listing in the Time Out Washington DC guide book.
Twelve Inch Dance Records 2010 P St. NW at 20th St. Dupont Circle

It also recommends Yogi Records 2120 18th St. NW between Forida Ave & Columbia Rd ...... as the place for DC's go-go music.
