What sites do you use to purchase your tracks for djing?

Amps

Love how Traxsource layout is just a mirror of Beatport.

Have to confess I’m about 95% Beatport these days.

Kells77 Must be doing a good 40mph at the end there!

Millsy

Sean only started this thread to let us know he’s on the promo list for Hed Kandi

Dan

Scene Hopper!

Does Sean love a funkagenda banger?

Mostly browse at Beatport, buy from Bandcamp and Juno. I do get exclusives from Beatport, I can’t wait two weeks and pay the stupid high price. Luckily that’s usually only 25 % of what I buy, max.

Boomkat and Bleep are great for a cheap price, usually below Bandcamp, and always below Juno or Traxsource. They don’t do aiffs though, my preferred format.

Good call on Bookkat! Just picked up a load of stuff on Watergate and other labels. Is Bleep worth trawling thru?

Dan

Aiffs our my fave, but they take up so much space.

Homegrove

Well, all lossless files do. Just bought a third 2T external hard drive. 😃

Kells77

Homegrove How do you keep track of what’s on which drive?

Homegrove

Kells77 I have folders for years, and subfolders for months. So not that hard to find a tune, if you have some idea when it was released. I also know which hard drive is the oldest etc.

ScottBailey

Hannu’s got hard drives in different area coooooooooooooooodes

Kells77

ScottBailey I mean, you need a system for both, right? 😂

mono-stereo

https://www.whatpeopleplay.com/ is good for deep house and techno. The UI is well overdue a redesign though.

Homegrove

mono-stereo their staff tips are pretty good.

Along_the_Wire

mono-stereo My eyes!

jb_808

mono-stereo Yeah I use them a lot. It’s worth putting up with the dreadful UI just to avoid wading through a load of shite like you have to on Beatport.

ScottBailey

Kells77 glad you got it! Feared I was going to be hung out to dry on that one! 🤣

IndustryStandard

Beatport because I’m a lazy bastard and I’ve built a label/artist feed that’s evolved over the past decade.

If I get wind of a Bandcamp only release I then use that .

Never got on with Juno. GUI is horrendous .

Tune purchasing is a task similar to going to the dentist IMO

Kells77

ScottBailey Ludacris advised a lot of us back in the day 😂

ScottBailey

Kells77 haha! Southern Hospitality still one of my fav’s

Hardly a low hanging fruit thread. I was just intrigued if there were any others outside the the main 4 that i should be checking out.
Granted its nowhere near as high-brow as Ed’s paint-with-learning-difficulties kettle drivel.

Is the right answer!

Bandcamp
Juno
Beatport

mostly beatport notwithstanding that they are a bunch of cunts for getting rid of the desktop app, overcharge in the UK and made searching for tracks a laborious process.

seanc80

baggers44 agreed re: beatport. Its a fucking shambles
