Baza

Part of the "Puskinskaya 10" Art Centre, which was set up in 1989 by a group of St. Petersburg non-conformists, Baza is the best place in town to track down some hard-to-find vinyl. The self-dubbed 'Centre of Dance Alternative and Experimental Music' is chock-a-block full of CDs, tapes, videos and 12 inches, mostly by artists you've never heard of before. Every style of dance music is represented from hip-hop and d'n'b to electro and nu-jazz - and you can give it a whirl on their Technics decks before you part with your roubles. Enter via the courtyard at Ligovsky Prospekt, no. 53 where you'll also find alternative music venue Fish Fabrique.

Excellent stock and staff.
