Question Changing the genre you playing/switching to new genre

Can somebody give me his experiences?
I decided to change my style I will spin, I have already around 60 records with techy/tech-trance style (max walder, etc.). But I dont like this style anymore. I want to sell them and start buying prog vinyls.
What do u think about it? Anybody decided so as I in the past?
Is it hard to sell 60 records in good price?

eh.... if it were me, id hang onto the records. if you want to switch to a different style, then there still is the chance that you'd want to switch back.

if you still insist on selling them, thats ok too i guess. and it would depend on what tracks you have.... if you have really bangin tracks (well... not to you anymore, but to someone else, or the general public) then you can get back a fair amount of what you originally paid for it.... if theres shitty tracks, which everyone has a few tracks which wind up being worth less than their record jackets to them.... then you will be getting much less than you paid for it obviously, if whom ever you are trying to sell the records to feels the same about said tracks.

no switching stories here tho. ive been pretty much contented with my style ever since day one.

hmm... now that i think about it... if i ever did switch, or just get into a different style aswell as what im into now.... it'd probably be dark D&B

pretty good i guess, but...

honestly the style you have goin on isnt really my forte. so you'd be better off asking someone else on the approximate worth of all that...

Home in Australia were paying from $17-30 for a record... mostly round the 20 mark... so if u average it our to say 10-12 a record back.. you could b looking anywhere from atleast $600 australian

I think it would be better to sell every vinyl individually, not as a lot of 60 records

Couple of good tracks on that list but nothing that would cause any buyer to go mental for them. A lot of these will already be in most peoples collections.

As for going proggy... Not sure I agree that it's a good move to go from one style to another like that.
Keep the records you have listed and just complement with proggy records, you will find that this way you will discover things that well bring out your true style as a DJ.

Those records obviously apealed to you at some point and may yet have a purpose to play in your set building.

Let's face it, I have to say that proggy sets are like valium if you don't inject a but of life into them everynow and again. (Personal opinion).

Cheers

I started trance, and i'm moving to hard house, filtered/tech.

I suppose its whatevers clever. I let a lot of my trance vinyls go, but mainly because I realized they were common outdated tunes, and not really what I wanted to be spinning. I still kept a good deal of the good trance tunes that could still get the party moving.

And with the way my sets will go, I can still throw in a trance tune every now and then.

everyone makes some sort of switch when they spin. maybe it isnt as drastic, but no one starts with only a section of a genre and never deviates. but thats what makes djing fun. i did something similar to you, i started with hard & tech trance and moved to a little prog, but i didnt just run out and sell all of my records. i keep them and just switch the two in a single set. it works out great, because the monotony of prog is offset by the trance breakdowns, and the overuse of breakdowns is avoided by using some smoother prog tracks. with your collection you can incorporate some great prog into your records...

dont go and sell all of your records, you obviously liked them for a reason, and you never know when you may need to drop one of them into a set

razzi.

EDIT: also, check out some of the mixes on the flipside of records. they may contain some prog/tech-trance bridges

don't spin a "style". or try not to at least. spin music you like. i dig deep house, funky house, tribal, techno, electro, tech house, progressive, acid, minimal techno, glitchy techno, breaks, and sure, you can't possibly put it all in one single set. but if you like a record, and it can work, don't stay away just because it's not your "style". get stuff you see as really good, and do your best not to pick up any "filler" tracks, these are the ones you end up wanting to get rid of.

I have a few hundred records, and they all vary so so much. i started out buying all the epic trance stuff, then started buying more techy stuff, then some more progressive house shit, then breaks, I have a lot of psy trance and acid trance, house, everything. i would never want to sell them though. Sometimes I'm in the mood to spin a certian style, sometimes I want to play somethign else. I wouldn't sell off all your records and just commit to just one sound. Obviously you're bored with tech trance at the moment, who's to say in a few months you won't get tired of progressive?
