History

The store opened in 1969 and originally sold folk, Jazz, and Blues music. By the 1980s, the store was selling house music records. The store was the first of its kind in the Chicago area, focusing on vinyl for DJs, and since has become a destination point for traveling DJs[1]. The store focuses on stocking House, Dubstep and Electronic Music[2] and has been important in the promotion of Chicago house music.[3][4][5] It is currently owned by DJ Michael Serafini[6][7].

In Film

The store has been featured in the documentary Better Living Through Circuitry.

gollark: I'm pretty scared of brain implants because they would probably involve computer systems of some kind with read/write access to my brain. And computers/software seem to have more !!FUN!! security problems every day.
gollark: Personally, I blame websites and the increasingly convoluted web standards for browser performance issues. Websites with a few tens of kilobytes of contents to a page often pull in megabytes of giant CSS and JS libraries for no good reason, and browsers are regularly expected to do a lot of extremely complex things. With Unicode even text rendering is very hard.
gollark: Memory safety issues are especially problematic in things like browsers, so avoiding them is definitely worth something.
gollark: > google blames c/c++ and its lack of warnings to devs about memory issues for most of the critical bugs in chrome<@528315825803755559> I mean, it's a fair criticism. You can avoid them if you have a language (like Rust) which makes them actual compile errors.
gollark: Well, if it's just "one column picked from each row, one combination of columns is valid", and there's no other information, I don't see how you can do it without brute force, which is impractical because there are apparently 1329227995784915872903807060280344576 (4^60) combinations.
