Underground solution is the sort of independent shop that has survived because it is specialised. HMV or the digital music scene is going to have a hard time controlling the rare vinyl market.
Underground Solution is a specialist music store selling, yup, vinyls, as well as a big stock of CDs and some audio equipment. It is genre specific, focusing on dance and electronic music (including drum n bass, House, Techno etc.). As a result this store is visited by DJs and those who really know what they’re talking about.
Having said that, not being one of the above, I still enjoy browsing their vinyls, and more so, their CDs and I’ve still come away with a few good finds. Expect to pay for this shops expertise however, as prices are not cheap and the average vinyl is going to cost you £10 plus.
Note, Underground Solution Records is due to have a new online store soon.

I can’t really call myself a music mogul, as I am a bit of a whore when it comes to tunes. I love classic rock like Aerosmith and Guns n Roses but when I hear a bit of Abba on a night out, you’ll find it hard to get me off that dancefloor. I also love the Ibiza music scene and one of the highlights of my year is complete ned-​a-​thon Coloursfest at Braehead Arena. So as you can see I’ve got a bit of musical bi-​polar, so shops like this are a bit too specialist for me, and I never know what to look at first.
I would say this place is for people who are seriously into a certain genre of music, perhaps DJ’s and stuff but none the less, it’s good to go and have a browse. I absolutely love old vinyl sleeves so I have spend a good hour looking through the extensive selection in here. You can also buy music related tee’s and merchandise from the shop too.
A bit too niche for me, but great for a wee look around!

It’s admirable to see a record shop avoid the mainstream. Underground Solu’shn prides itself on offering those hidden rarities, hard to find gems and an impressive selection of vinyl. Ultimately this comes at a price with the average vinyl/​CD costing 12 – 14 pounds. Nonetheless, unlike the larger entertainment mega-​stores, you can try out your chosen record on any of the available decks: a sort of ‘try before you buy’ system. If your a budding DJ and your looking to boost your track collection with some rare gems, chances are Solu’shn will stock such items.
