Adlands-favourite-record-stores "In many ways my current path started in Streetwise Music. I first braved opening the door at about 15 / 16 years old as I was getting into house, techno and drum and bass. We had monthly nights at the Junction called Good Times (House), Clueless (Techno) and Warning (D&B) - Warning is still going now - which opened our eyes to a whole new world... and we never looked back. Streetwise never had the cliquey, exclusive atmosphere you often find in record shops. We were kids and they welcomed us, guided us through the racks, put tracks on the system for us when we walked in and, after not very long, kept big piles of records for us under the counter knowing we would soon be there with whatever money we could scrape together. It was here I discovered the classic underground electronic records that I missed by being born slightly too late, and here that I discovered my love of digging for hidden gems and random B sides. Thank you Streetwise and Simon (pictured) for opening my eyes and being genuinely lovely people. If you had been dicks who knows where I would be now."
