hhv Diggin Days @ cassiopeia
sourc: http://www.edit-entertainment.com/
On June 13th and 14th the hhv Diggin Days took place at cassiopeia area in Friedrichshain. It was Germany’s biggest vinyl sale with more than 50,000 records and 10 tons of vinyl.
hhv.de or hiphopvinyl.de is a online record store. But there is also a small store in Revaler Straße in Berlin-Friedrichshain. It’s really a great record store with a wide variety of records either on vinyl or CD. The only problem about this store is that the actual store in Friedrichshain only has one small shelf of records. The main part of the records is in a big repository in Grünberger Straße. Because of this you only can pick up your order at the store which you made online before. You can’t really go there to dig in the record shelves.
So the Diggin Days were a really cool opportunity to really dig in the crates. And obviously I wasn’t the only one who thought that way, because when I got to cassiopeia I had to wait for about 45 minutes until I could enter the room where the records were.
But it was worth it. Although, in my opinion, 95% of the records there were crap, because the main idea of hhv was to clear out their storage a little bit, so that you really had to dig deep to find some good records.
In the end I bought 16 new records for only 43€. So I made a good bargain and enlarged my vinyl collection a little bit. One of the records I bought was “Wu Tang Forever” which contains this fresh track:
Wu-Tang Clan – Triumph
nice article, i live there as well but not that long yet. i didn’t know that something like that was happening. i would have loved to go there and to look for some music. but well i hope it’s going to be sometime again…
