Turntable Records gives an Austin music route a Tejano and conjunto stop. The South First shop also deals in Latin hip-hop, freestyle and other popular music, with CDs as well as records in the mix. Its connection to working artists is tangible in the in-store appearances documented around local releases, including the Los Enmascarados visit. That is a more specific reason to come than another general-purpose vinyl browse. If you have a band, song or regional style in mind, bring the details. The shop’s hours need checking before building a South Austin afternoon around it.
