Underground Solu'shn has sold records and audio gear in Edinburgh since 1996, starting in a dingy Old Town basement on Cockburn Street - which is where the name comes from - and later moving to over-ground premises further down the same street. It began on house, techno, disco, hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz and drum and bass, and has since widened out into rock, indie, pop, psych and soundtracks. One of the longest-running independents in the city
