SKILLS DJ WORKSHOP-Store Front Closing

http://www.skillsdj.com/storesale

Skills Dj Workshop, the record store, will be closing our doors on July 26TH, 2009.

After 10 long years of staying in business, we've decided to close the Skills storefront and focus solely on our events and music production.

We�d like to thank everyone for their continued support of our events, music, Dj's and your love and dedication to the bay area electronic music scene. We would not be here without you. MUCH LOVE from all of us at Skills and we'll see you at our next event.

With that said, we are having a 50% off sale on all merchandise beginning June 4th. We will also be selling off a wide variety of music production gear, DJ equipment and other misc electronics. For full details please stop by the shop or email Tim (at) SkillsDJ (dot) com.

You can also stay in touch by following "Skills" on Twitter.

Warm Regards,
THE SKILLS FAMILY
Tim, Mirinda & Jason

Sorry to hear about it, I've shopped there often myself.

Guess that's the way it goes with labels going all digital these days.

that's another option and a great tool too
digital is lite and fast, but I still love the sound of vinyl. It has a warmth feel to its sound.
Gotta visit the workshop one last time.

Unfortunate news. Digital changed the industry as we know it. 10 years is an impressive run tho! Wish I had an opportunity to check out the shop before they closed....

Damn, sad to see the store go. Wonder what's going to replace it.

I remember when reverb closed in SF, was super bummed about that too cause I got a lot of my first vinyls there.

Aw that's too bad, I got my first batch of vinyl there way back when (any many more since). Sad to see it go, but wishing you all good luck on the promotion/production front!
