Longtime customer Annie Singer says: "They don't make me feel embarrassed when I ask about country music -- and that's huge. Nice, helpful people, a store that's human scale but not limited, and even has fair prices, right near Dupont Circle! What more could a music lover want?"
Customers can preview most CDs by putting on headphones and waving the CD under a barcode scanner.
Notable: Periodic drawings for tickets to local concerts.
Quote:"People don't realize the extensive classical collection we have," says Leon Dana, an employee who honed his musical knowledge years ago in his father's former shop, Serenade Records.
DJ Hut
2010 P St. NW, second floor; 202-659-2010.
Open Monday-Thursday noon to 9,
Fridays noon to 10, Saturdays noon to 9; closed Sundays.
Owners: Sina Mollaan and Chris Stiles.
The store reopened in February after a devastating fire last summer -- brighter and livelier than ever, with new stock, including reissued vinyl and new CDs, with an emphasis on independent releases.
Seekers of old-school hip-hop, R&B, reggae, house, down-tempo, Baltimore club, drum'n'bass, '80s hits, rock, disco or funk will be in heaven.
Glean advice from some of the District's club personalities who work or hang out there, including Oso Fresh (a.k.a. Bobby Alirezai), known for his mix of classic hip-hop at Aroma, or Sam "the Man" Burns, who spins deep, soulful house music at the Eighteenth Street Lounge.
You can create your own CD in-house from the store's digital download site or use the store's DJ-matching service to find the perfect fit for an upcoming event. DJ Hut also rents and sells DJ equipment.
