Pataphysics – Nick Danger
For 20 years Groove Merchant in San Francisco has supplied countless DJs, Producers and Vinyl addicts with some of the best sounds ever put on vinyl. It’s a testament to its reputation and its current owner “Cool” Chris Veltri, that at a time when vinyl independent record stores are becoming a rarity, it continues to thrive. I’ve already mentioned here several times how Groove Merchant is my pick for the best record store in the world. More than just a place to dig up rare pieces of wax, it’s a great place just to come, chill, learn and most importantly listen to great music of every possible genre. This collection celebrates 20 years of Groove Merchant with some choice cuts from Cool Chris, music that only scratches the surface of all the goodness that this store, the birthplace of Ubiquity records, has dug up and brought out into the light. Looking forward to my next trip and to the next 20.
