i'm sure most of the big dj's are sent promo's of all the new stuff and they spin it if they like it.

yeah superstars get promos, we have to listen to hours upon hours of net streams, and then actually pay for those records ooh well collecting vinyl is cool

yea

There's a place up in Chicago that I go to that knows what I like...so they have a stack ready for me

great service

I get a fat stack of prog and trance when I enter the store I shop at. It's a normal thing is you go weekly and talk to the guys doing the pickups. A friend at the record store will grab you the best stuff before it's al gone.

yeah same here.. i only bought vinyl 2 times.. but u just can ask like `i`d like all the new uplifting trance choons` and they`ll sort them out for u.. u`ll get a bunch.. and then its up 2 listening

yeah lol....I used to go to this recordstore when I was into disco house -ey stuff

appartently the shop owner noticed it....he came to me like "ey man.."(he's black)"check this out I held this one back especially for you man you'll love it" it was a record by cassius which i didn't really like (one remix was good tho) but i bought it anyway not to stress the shop dude....(yeh yeh lame i know)

AvB once said that he gets about 40 promos a week, and from those selects which ones he will play. But he also goes vinyl shopping of course.

Here's a quote from the cd jacket of Paul Oakenfold Cream disks:

"Paul Oakenfold received up to 120 white labels a week, he listens to them all, but will only include 1-5 of them in his final set"

Pretty damn amazing! I wonder what he does will all of his vinyl?

Ya figure at even 100 a week for 4 years is 20,800 albums. Think about how much that weighs!!

i was reading somewhere that paul oakenfold has around 30,000 records, and about once a year or so, he will go through them and toss out about 10,000 or so
