look at the compliations that you have and pick tracks that you won't get sick of. For mixing ease, I find that PVD tracks are really easy to mix in and out of pretty much any other trance. You can also go to www.di.fm (www.digitallyimported.com) and listen to tracks and live sets. The sets almost always have a playlist, and so you can use other dj's work to your advantage. They sort through the crap and pick their key tracks, then you pick the tracks that you like from their sets.
Most importantly, go into your record shop with a list! You will never remember all of the tracks unless you write them down. Also, look for tracks that are remixed by good people, ie lange, airwave, hiver and hammer, PVD, etc. Listen to them on the net at places like www.dotvinyl.com and then look for them in your record shop so you don't have to pay shipping etc. Look in the sticky thread at the top of this forum about online record shops. Go to ones that let you listen to music and find new tracks that way! Then again, try to get them through your local record shop.
