GO TO THE DROP SHOP, downtown go to www.dropshop.com for details. they have a decent selection for being in a breakbeat town, only been there once but i was impressed, plus every vinyl is on their website and any order over 100 dollars they will ship it for free.

Ah thanx I could not come up with the damm name to the place......

Im not sure if the site gives you exact directions but you take COLONIAL(SR50)West to BUMBY and make a Left. Go down and I believe its your first or second traffic signal which is ROBINSON ST. and make a left; DROP SHOP will be IMMEDIATELY on your right. Its REALLY easy to miss bc it is super small where you have to pull in. Its a small Grey Bldg so make sure you're paying attention!! Drop Shop's the best in Otown for vinyl and staff are super nice!!

Yea, just got back from the drop shop. It's bad ass. I've been to some record stores all over the country and that one is the best, at least thats what i think. Mabye there is better ones? How could it get any better.

record stores in orlando

Vinyl Frontier is another good store in Orlando. It is located on I-4 and Coloniel, right by the Holiday Inn. I think DJ Knightlife does the ordering there.

Record stores in Orlando

I forget who mentiond Vinyl Frontier, but the point is It DJ Knightlife (Chris Hand) who does the ordering. Dj Knightlife also Spins Every Wednesday night @ Zinc bar Which is located right off of the Corner of Orange Ave and Central Blvd in Downtown Orlando. It is close to Icon night club as well. Chris is a awesome guy and plays some fantastic music on Wednesday nights. You can always find me there....not too many places play good trance anymore.

Reallllly....

I was not aware of that. I don't do sh*t for trance up here.. Only places I thought had any action ( on occasion) were Icon, HOB, Blue Room and Firestone. Does Knightlife still have his residency at Blue Room?

I know @ Skyy Bar they play some nice chill housey stuff on the roof, and I have actually been to Zinc ( but longgg ago) which is actually really nice and draws a classy crowd from what I recall...

May have to hit that up in the near future.. I am used to going to Antigua on Wednesday for the breaks, lol.

Posted by Franknbeanz420 on Sep-20-2003 20:25:

I honestly don't know if Knightlife still resides at Blue Room or not, oddly enough. AnyHOO....Zinc bar is not that busy on Wednesday nights so Antigua is probably where you want to be if you are a people person. Me I go to Zinc for two reasons. One is because I pretty much HATE Florida Funky breaks. Two, I don't like the sound system over at Antigua it just plain out sucks!. I mean why in the world would you have nothing but monitor speakers for your sound system in a club of that kind? AnyHOO Zinc bar is best to go to on Friday nights where DJ Cliff T plays some real ROckin tunes!!

When I went back in the day it was on Wednesday. I don't mind if its not crowded or if alot of people are there; in fact I hate when places are jammed packed (like Antigua for example lol ). Id be goin primarily for the music anyway... how is Cliff T ; isnt that house?

Posted by Franknbeanz420 on Sep-20-2003 20:49:

yeah Cliff T does spin house. But Cliff has awesome music selection and track lay out. I wish I did not work Friday nights so I could work @ Zinc and hear his sets. As for Wednesday nights @ Zinc it is usally pretty slow but since I get 2 dollar drinks lol I am there most every Wednesday night.

Posted by raverchikadee on Sep-28-2003 01:32:

Zinc is about the only place that hasnt switched to "hip hop". Friday nights are good.. but i find that cliff T spins the same set with the same tracks almost everytime i attend there. Once in awhile he will mix it up a little but hey i suppose its better than nothing at all. Unfortunately the scene in orlando has dropped significantly due to lack of attendance. But they just passed a new law that will allow the clubs to stay open til 5am. Hopefully that will increase attendance which in turn will help bring more Djs back to orlando.

Cool, all i need is a gig and a fake id, and i'll single handedly bring this town back to it's greatness. Heh, i'd try but mabye not. I do need a fake though, does anyone know where to get one?

Posted by IspI on Sep-29-2003 13:01:

I would highly recomend vinyl frontier, Kevin (owner), and Chris (knightlife) are good people. It has a really chill atmosphere and a pretty good selection. I'm in there at least 2-3 times a week. Just to let you guys know chris IS spinning at Blue Room again, i think this just happened last week. I'm not sure if its friday or saturday night, but i know its one of the 2. I'm gonna see him later today and ill let ya'll know. Also VF can and will order stuff for you if they dont have it. Ive ordered many 12"s from them, and if its out there, they will find it. They just added a hip hop section, but its mostly progressive stuff. Motorcycle-As the rush comes, was supposed to come in yesterday and they should be holding a copy for me. Anyways, check them out and if you see a big goofy lookin white guy in there with a hat that says "Bong" on it, thats me, dont be afraid to say Hi. Oh, one more thing, they are supposed to open at noon everyday, but unless you want to stand around outside for 20-30 mins, i wouldnt recomend goin before 1:00.

Its going to be 5am for closing in Orlando now? That will hopefully help, now if we only had a good consistent place for trance, heck i'd even take progressive. I guess now that Glenda Hood is out of office maybe the downtown scene can improve, she was holding this place down.
