Unfortunately, as of this weekend the NY location of Fat Beats is no more. DJ A-Trak honored the trend setting store by providing one of its final performances this weekend before the doors were permanently closed.

Sad sad sad day. I just don’t think there is anyway to “digitize” something like Fatbeats but I hope Im proven wrong.
Word!
I’m gonna miss that store. Ive seen some nice DJ’s do there thing in that store over the years that Ive been flying back to NY. Its mad coz “Beat Street Records” in Brooklyn is now a shoe store….That broke my heart!
Like they say….”Time stands still for no man!”
1 Love to Fat Beats.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over this… Fat Beats was truly a haven for the culture.
Wow. What is happening to our record stores and our culture stores. Man!!!!!!! There’s going to be museums of LP’s and cassettes, and cd’s.
