So, I'm making my first trip to berlin soon and I wonder what stores should I visit? Mainly seekin' for second hand jazz and soul. Also if there is other good hiphop-record stores than hhv, I'd be thankful to know.
I've seeked on internet for stores and here is couple I thought to visit: digalittledeeper, comeback records and logo. what do you think of these?

thanks

u got to check the boroughs called kreuzberg and prenzlauer berg, these are "trendy" quarters where u find a lot of record stores and thrift shops, just walk to the streets and maybe ask sum peeps if they know sumthin

Their catalouge is good, though.
But yes, they are pricks.

digalittledeeper seems to have a good catalogue, too.

Yeah hhv has a really HUGE and good lookin' catalogue but I f_king hate how they serve their customers who have spent thousands of euros for years for them. Plus their good looking catalogue is really weakly working, especially on more rare items. I have many times paid orders and waited for weeks to get any answer that whats the deal with my order, and then they have said they don't have this and that record.
Its sad that in finland we don't have hiphop-recordstore that could competition with the hhvs prices, so almost every hiphop dj are using hhv. Thats killing local stores but its the natural way for students and other pretty poor people..
Lately I've been purchaising my records almost 100% from discogs marketplace secondhand, u can find real rarities and basic records for mad cheap and alots of unused records :) also ordering from the states is cool cause of the cheap dollar 8)

I found this store and can def recommend it!
http://www.recordsale.de/eng/php/7tons_ ... ?details=1

So nice seller, sold me a 30 e lp for 6 e cause they had listed the price wrong.. found some nice stuff there.

Also digalittledeeper.net was dope little store, and daamn I almost fell in love to the girl who's store it is :oops: Found some records that no store in web had listed, I can definently recommend this one too 8)

Visited some other nice and not so nice little stores somewhere near the prenzlauerberg when visiting stores I wrote up above.


And now its proved in real live that the HHV is the worst customer service EVER. so goddamn rude assholes, so stupid. I had no problem there but I saw how bad they served some other dudes.. and I have a lot of bad to say of them based on my experiences via their e-store.

I had a real good diggin-trip, my backpack weighted about ton when I left berlin yesterday morning :) I'll def will visit berlin again sometime!

btw, local döner kebab was real good shyt, I miss that already :lol:
