Undiscovered

I'd have to agree, a lot of people like www.beatport.com but personally i like www.traxsource.com much better. you could also use www.stompy.com

if you want vinyl (you can also buy CD's or download some digital copies) you cant go past www.juno.co.uk or try ebay for specific title that may be a bit older or more obscure.

just a quick question marksy, how are you mixing the ministry CD's? are they now sold with unmixed CD's as well?

you can also buy unmixed CD's from CD shops or order then online. i just got some from www.amazon.com and it was cheap, quick and easy.

If im buying vinyl i'll go to Rockinghorse records here in Brisbane

i like free stuff just like the rest of us but if we dont support the artists by buying music we are all gonna be playin shit music sooner or later
i think if you like something you get from soulseek you should go somewhere and pay for it
especially if you play it in public

I agree with Eddie, maybe even a little more serious about piracy. I think we should all buy the tracks and support the artists that put their heart and soul into their production, no matter how big or small the label. If the artist chooses to get ripped off by a big company then its their decision, no need for us to rip them off even more.

Plus them shitty file sharers are so unreliable and its really hard to find a decent quality song. I'd rather pay $2 and get a great quality track at a fast download rate.

And sites to download have the full scale of most catalogues, really new and really old and obscure, so you can pretty much find what every you want everytime.

Another thing, if your going to see a house music producers show and their DJing, they get paid the same amount no matter how many people go so its not really supporting them financially by showing up to their show.

Ok thanks, yeah i have a small collection of tracks from over the years, heaps of different styles. Will look at the websites you have all posted. Thanks.

Someone metioned mixing ministry cds, i just use the already mixed ones like sessions 1 and 2 etc, just look the intro, they are good for practicing which has helped me alot and its easy for me to show mates how to get a basic mix happening.

I will do a little mix up this weekend and try and upload it as well.

thanks again

I collect from about two or three genres. I find it hard to stick to only one though. Maybe it's cause I'm a moody bastard

When I first started, I tried to stick to a single genre, I didn't really feel comfortable until I gave a few other styles a go to see what felt most natural.

I agree so much. I am not talking about any of you, but seeing these post's make me think about the fact that I don't understand how some dj's I know limit themselves to 1 genre. I talk to guys at the shop that say , i'm a tech dj, techno dj , trance dj, progressive dj, etc. What would Larry Levan have sounded like if he just played r&b all night? What would a Danny howells set sound like without a pop remix here and there? Every genre has it's junk and its quality. It's up to us as dj's to find and recognize the quality in the genres we like. I will never limit myself to 1 genre thats like eating chiken every day. I tend to play tribal, techno, latin tribal, progressive , heavy tech and straight house. At my current friday night gig in jersey i even play a good amount of pop remixes because it's easy to lose a suburban crowd if you don't keep them some what in the loop. I try to play 1 {pop remix] every 3 to 4 tracks. The big hit this week was friscia and lamboy's remix of say it right by nelly furtado. lol -- When i play in Ny you might here 1 or 2 a nite. Maybe 1 of you guys could also open my mind up to electro. I just can't seem to find 1 track i like. I think some dj's stay in the same genre all the time because its easier to mix that way. when you enjoy alot of diff genres you have to think about when and where and how you will bridge the set from 1 genre to the next as well as feel out how long you will play each 1. If your really good you can just jump track to track. I have rambled long enough. I just think we should not limit are sound as artists. Feel free 2 let me know if i need some cheese with my WHINE.

And i see your point. I dont play anything i don't love either. Tony humphries, Francios Kevorkian , Joe claussell , and Danny krivit are some of the best deep house dj's EVER. They played deep house with soul , percussion, electronica, and latin influences as well. That is really what I wanted to say. SOME guys stay in the same genre and every track sounds the same. I guess i'm just lucky to REALLY appreciate alot of diff styles. I don't spin deep house but i do enjoy it alot. I spent many a sunday afternoon at the infamous BODY and SOUL party sundays at vinyl NYC. Kevorkian , Claussell , and krivit were amazing + other dj's would just show up and play with them.

man if you last mix is anything to go buy, your cataloge is impressive! keep digging!
