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

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.

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

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

      Hannu’s got hard drives in different area coooooooooooooooodes

        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.

          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

          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.

            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.

              Always remember the massive row on GU when Beatport suddenly massively hiked the prices of tracks for the UK site. At the time people were trying to justify it based on the dollar to pound exchange rate.

              I’m assuming that the US prices haven’t increased in line with this justification since the dollar and pound are so close these days?

              Is the right answer!

                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.
