Editorial Review for Dusty Groove America – by John Dugan
The Scene
Record store Dusty Groove's 2001 move to a street-level shop was smart: It's hard to miss now. Be thankful that there's a store at all, considering that much of the shop's fanatical clientele orders its booty from the Dusty Groove website.
The Goods
DJs, musicians and others with eclectic music tastes tend to frequent this boutique shop. Its claim to fame is an incredible selection of world imports and vintage reissues. You'll find loads of classic funk, soul, Afro-pop, bossa nova, film soundtracks, groovier jazz and lounge. You'll also stay ahead of the trends when you shop here. When 1960s tropicalia music was rediscovered by Americans, Dusty Groove was already stocking Brazilian Caetano Veloso's early albums. If Fela Kuti, Baden Powell, Serge Gainsbourg and Ennio Morricone are among your gods, come here to offer your devotion.
