Sam GreenwoodWe’ve teamed with the much loved Dublin based record store All City to bring you their top 10 picks every week.
As many of you will know, they host a huge collection of brand new releases and old-school classics across the spectrum of all that is good in music – house, techno, disco and hip hop among others. Their crew have an unfaltering knowledge of music and you can be guaranteed an excellent selection, and quality recommendations based on your taste.
As these are very different times, it’s only natural that we want to support our local record stores, and we highly recommend that you do too. Whether it’s new or second hand, developing your record collection is a healthy obsession that we can’t get enough of. Many labels release only on vinyl and there’s a certain magic to falling down the rabbit hole of a stores collection as there’s nothing quite like finding those rare vinyl releases.
So, here we are, at week two of the All City Records ‘Pick of the week’ feature. Enjoy…
