So I'm going to be doing some traveling in the coming weeks, and I'm fortunate enough to have a DJ gig overseas. Apart from the tourist stuff I'll no doubt be doing I hope to hit up some unique record stores (yes the real vinyl type if possible) as well as a club or two.
The gig is at the Clandestino Festival in Goteborg (aka Gothenburg) Sweden http://clandestinofestival.org/2011/?lang=en -- there's nothing on the website yet about it but the gig is Saturday night, so any Swedish DJTT folks who are planning to attend the festival let me know! I'll also be in Norkkoping the following week discussing digital DJ culture at a cultural studies conference; hit me up if you are interested in the more academic side of things... And please post here if you think of anything I shouldn't miss while I am in Sweden!
The plan is then for us to go to Berlin and then Paris for a few days each; we've got the usual tourist books and stuff but anyone from or near these places have any tips on anything I shouldn't miss? DJ-related or not,.... but I definitely want to check out at least one club event in Berlin (we'll be there probably June 19-22), and I would love to find some really cool vinyl record stores in any of these places. I wish we were staying longer but time and money are unfortunately tighter than I'd like; I'm really lucky to be doing this at all!
