Re: Hamburg

http://www.groove-city.com/ mostly Hip Hop but also Funk und Soul, Jazz, Latin, Afro, Headz und Electro, Soundtracks, Reggae.
the above 3 shops are all in a radius of 200m around Marktstr., which is also a good spot to shop some clothes.
http://www.rekord.net/info.html don't like them that much, but you may find a pearl. Bit overpriced. New and 2nd hand stuff
http://www.smallville-records.com/index … ect/where/ home of the Dial label
http://www.qype.com/place/251950-dephek … en-Hamburg
Haven't been there, but I heard some good stuff. 2nd hand and some old turntables and film projectors.
Smallville and Dephekt are not far away from each other.
