4.Cheap Vinyl -Rock and Soul on 7th ave btn 35 and 36 st in the back of the store.
Need More?Let me know I know them all.If you go to Throb ask for Carter and let him help you he knows his stuff.
 
people from NY City:

Who: Richie Hawtin
What: Relief
When: May 11, 2001.
Where: Twilo New York, USA
Info: w/ John Acquaviva

Richie @ Twilo :D:D I don't live there, but I'd go if i were you. I live in his hometown and he's hard enough to see here :D
 
Twilo has been closed down.Illegal occupancy permits closed down 5/5/01.Re-opening pending court hearing.Another one bites the dust here.But good news the current Mayor is gone after 12/31/01.Ever since Guiliani has been in office NYC is not the place to be for clubs.Anyway to be honest if Im not spinning I really dont like to go hear other people unless Im on the card also..
 
Well that sounds sad and it sounds like you're missing a lot of opportunities to see world class dj's.

P.S. Shame on the government. :p

Normally I listen to their sets when they are given to me.I like that Sandra Collins Girl she's smooth and Oakenfold he really very smooth.I think I have something by Hawtin when he played in Michigan
