Comment: I was studying in Huddersfield when this place opened, just as progressive house was exploding in the early to mid-1990s. Three standout gems bought from here, Waveform Transmission Volume 1, not really what they specialised in, but Jeff Mills was banging out when I walked in one day and I had never heard such madness. Second, similar, Gravitational Arch of 10, another one I would never have known save for this shop, and finally their own release Jaco - Show Some Love on their own label before it went on to get released on Warp. An important part of UK progressive house! Great shop. Massive too, as I recall.

Loved this shop too, and yes it was huge. Rack after rack of records with decks up the front at the counter for trying out mixes. Good times. I think the artist 'Jaco' mentioned in the previous comment was actually the owner of the shop and label at the time.

I used to love this record shop as well. I bought many records, white labels and albums from here back in the day. Didn't they relocate somewhere else in Huddersfield in 98/99? Somewhere near the college IIRC.
