Music has a powerful ability to connect people across generations, languages and the world. People who listened to The Beatles when they first released a record can easily connect with people listening to the popular English band for their first time today. The same goes for music of all genres, from the most popular of artists to the most underground of labels.
Record Store Day is this Saturday, April 13 and Metro Detroiters are in luck because plenty of stores are still supporting the coveted vinyl discs. Support local businesses this Saturday and walk home with some fresh, new vinyl!
As a mainstay record store in Detroit, this store has carved out a niche for itself as a techno-centric record store. That doesn’t mean Detroit Threads doesn’t also cater to fans of other types of music. Their selection spans a multitude of genres from all over the world. With the annual electronic music festival Movement just around the corner, this store should definitely be on your list to check out.
