Went round London last weekend and there were F*CK ALL Hard House tunes in the big shops (Virgin, HMV, Tower) - they had like 2 columns of it - and most of it were all the same tracks - and they werent even arranged properly. Plus some MONSTER of a queue for only 3 decks in operation - plus restriction on max of 10 vinyls at a time. HMV didnt even have decks!? Was amazed that these big boy shops didn't cater better for HH. Even my local HMV in Milton Keynes had a far far better selection than the one in London.

Thank god i found a back street (thanks @Wub Wub) - SFX Records - walked in - guy picked about 20 HH tunes we may be interested in - shit loads of decks - no queue - sorted.

Can someone list me ALL the decent Hard House selling record shops in and around London for me ? Or should i just order online ???

So far I haven't seen a better set of shops as close together as in Ibiza - so cant wait to get back out there.

(am new to this 'window shopping' so excuse my total ignorance)

@James / @Tony P

Are you by any chance talking about XSF Records?

I go there fairly often, they cater for some of the harder end of what I'm into. And they have bags of decks.

BTW you pronounce it "excessive", hence XSF!

Yeah I know it's a bit contrived

LMAO - no WONDER half the shops had never heard of the shop !!!

Soho has loads. And for a non-wannabe DJ to know that you need your eyes tested.
