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

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.

              Of course nothing beats the good old days of a curmudgeonly counter assistant and paying £10 a track in a record shop. I really miss those days a lot

              I remember going into Hard to Find 20 odd yrs ago when it was a room in an office block to get Arkham Asylum. Only bought vinyl to piss about with on my Own belt drives so nearly soiled myself when he said it was £10.

                The rise of the mp3 and the subsequent demise of the record shop is an example of technology making life worse, at least from a cultural perspective.

                  Bandcamp is good. You can get notifications of what people you follow buy. e.g. I follow SM001 and Sentre…
