Independent Records has always been much more then just a record store to me - I started going when I was about 13 yrs old and they also sold skateboard stuff back then and I was a Skater but at the same time I was really starting to get into music - I have always had love for all genres of music and that’s where I would dig, sample and experience new music - which started me on my journey as Dj - it is also where I bought my first Bong when I was old enough - But a crazy story about Independent Records is right before I had moved to Las Vegas I had got a 7 inch white label of Daft Punk “One More Time” promo 9 months before it was ever released and that used to make a crowd go crazy and no one could get it or had any idea who it was - it was my banger and that was thanks to Independent Records. I probably owe them rent for the amount of time I was in that place throughout my life.
