The weekend saw the closing of the Fat Beats store in New York. Over the years Fat Beats has cultivated a reputation for being the centre of the universe for hip-hop vinyl and in-store performances. The store will continue to maintain an on-line existence. DJ A-Trak honoured the trend setting store by providing one of its final performances this weekend before the doors were permanently closed.
Sadly there has been a trend of record shops closing (including London’s Mr Bongo’s which I used to visit religiously) and it’s clear that technology has played a hand in this.
