essential vinyl

as a new dj about to finally purchase some decks i am looking to start my vinyl collection. in doing so, i was curious if there are "essential" vinyl i should immediately add to the collection?

i am fairly new into trance music and don't want to screw up my collection by adding a whole mess of cheese based on my limited knowledge of good tracks.

sorry if i missed an existing thread on the same topic.

well.....listen to as many tunes/livesets as you can and just buy what YOU think is essential....we cant really tell you what to buy and not what to buy...because we all have different tastes

Buy what you like.

Yeah, listen to this man (rather than anyone else on these forums, lol). But seriously, just listen to as much and different music as you can, and get whatever you like. Do not play too many tracks that are played on ASOT/GDJB or by Tiesto though, as you will be labeled a poser.

thanks for the advice and floorfiller for listing 100 tracks .

i guess i just get overwhelmed with the volume of music out there and weeding through it to find what i like. oh well.

thanks for the help.

american psycho = great movie

give me some time buddy and I can send you a pm...

would be wise if you sent a pm to be now (so I wont forget)

What style exactly are you looking for? Are you looking to just collect some classics, are you looking for a certain producer, certain time period, certain label, etc.

Just dig through crates at record shops and pull out stuff that catches your eye. Pick out stuff from labels you know about, artists, etc..you can find some unique tracks sometimes that not many people know about

either way, vinyl gets expensive - quick

so your best bet would be to give a tune a listen before buying cus if not you could very easily buy something you detest just cus someone else thinks its good which would suck for you

also, if you are certain you wanna stick with decks right off the bat, depending on your budget, i would highly reccomend buying a vinyl bag or case/crate because there are alot of tunes out there that are hard to find especially if you buy from a privately owned shop that you might find to be killer tracks and would give your left nut to replace it should something happen... buy protection, some day sooner or later you'll ether regret not investing in some or be really glad you did


anyways, back to tunes... my advice.... listen before you buy , never buy based on cover art, if you plan on eventually spinning for ppl other than yourself and you want ppl to dance - pick varying styles that are similar in BPM - say trance, techno, and breaks

dont buy all commercial hits cus youll quickly feel like a douche ... filler tracks are just as important as anthems

do people usually dislike it when you play songs from the real big names (i.e. ferry, armin)? i would have guessed differently.

Well they can't always know it's Ferry or Armin and every artist has their off day just like some crowds just aren't in the mood for a certain sound. Some songs are an aquired taste and some songs just suck.

It's a Ferry track so I doubt it's anything amazing anyways.
