echostar Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 www.satelliterecords.comthey have a hardcore section with thousands of records, and you can sample them all....why would i bother to go out and get them, theyre the same price here!

silente Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Yeah, that site's pretty cool. Huge selection, which is awesome, but their preview clips blow...you don't get a good feel for the record at all. You should still try to make it into the store to hear the whole thing - they don't take returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic909 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I used to go to their store up in Boston when I lived there, and probably dumped about $50-75 a week on new wax. But now when I order from them online, it takes a long ass time to get my records and sometimes they go out of stock after I've already placed my order.

brooklynkid Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 One of my favorite music stores, both online and off. It's a cool store to hang out in...I usually hit it once or twice a week. Beware though, as you can EASILY find 50 great new records a week to buy. I don't know about you, but $500 a week on vinyl can be tough on a wallet.

nycmuzik Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Satellite is awesome. I swore to myself never to go in there with my credit cards again. They pretty much own my ass right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't afford shit since I moved to NYC, so I've just been getting some cheap Baltimore ghetto house records and producing my own tracks and remixes for new material.

scoob-e Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 is it me or does satellite look like a bagel shop from the outside? besides the fact its located on a totally weird street, stuck between a bunch of warehouses that clean refrigerators.

dmerces Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I used to order a ton of records from them online but it just takes too long for the order to get to my house. Plus when I open the package all the vinyl has been listened to already and I've gotten a few scratched records. Its good to grab some records from but I wouldn't make it my total source of records. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *love* going to the store - it's just the website I'm not a huge fan of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...not that I could spend that kind of cash if I wanted to. It must be nice to be a Danny Tenaglia or a Junior Vasquez and get most of your stuff for free...

brooklynkid Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I wish that they organized the records on the wall a little better. Like, a trance record can be located in any one of three or four different trance sections. Also, you never really know when anything was released unless you check on the website first. Then, when you know the name of something you want, it takes a long time to find it on the wall. All minor complaints...it's still a pretty good place to shop...

silente Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I know what you mean, brooklynkyd...it gets frustrating, especially if you're in a hurry or looking for something in particular. But still...you can't beat the selection there, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic909 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Originally posted by trancend how long does it actually take? It took about 6 weeks or so last time I ordered from them. I ordered 4 records, got a confirmation email, then a week later they said they were out of the one record. Then another week later they said they were out of another record. So around 6 weeks after I ordered, I finally got 2 of the 4 I had originally ordered.It might be better sometimes just to go to the labels' websites and order. I also did some shopping at 12spot.com, but that was mainly for Baltimore ghetto house. I'm not sure what kind of selection they had for other styles and you can't preview the tracks online, but they were quick with the shipment.
