I've been CD DJing on a pair of Pioneer CDJ100s's (and a DJM-300 mixer) for about two years now and after 20mins on a pair of Vestax PDX-2000's I finally saw the light and am going to start vinyl DJing. Problem is, I only have four vinyls and a fairly limited budget - probably can scalvage $500 or 20ish vinyls. So if you were in my position, what songs would you buy? I'm talking about your absolute favourite songs, both old a new, the songs that defined the genre. Songs that the crowd will love, songs that will set the place off. (And yes, I know this kind of stuff is in other sections of the forum, but I wanted an opinion from the local crowd).

Finally, what turntables do you guys use? I loved the vestax ones, but they're fricking expensive.

BTW, the four vinyls I have are:
Aurora - Ordinary world (Positiva)
Gouryella - Tenshi (Codeblue)
iio - Rapture (Data)
Veracocha - Carte blanche (Positiva)

Well i dont own any vinyls...i cant afford them.
But i think a tune you should have is:

Push - Strange World (2000 remake) (i dont know the label)

A great song that Tiesto, Ferry, and Armin have all spun consistently over the last 2 or so years. Must have IMO.

Hell yeah! Fantastic choon that's certainly been doing the rounds. I don't think there hasn't been a trance DJ that hasn't used that as a set ender :-) In a perfect world I would buy The Legacy and Universal Nation too.

OK that's one down ... 19 to go

hee heh...........sorry bout the double post! guess i really think that you should get seven cities

If your getting decks and your serious I would suggest (like most people I talked with when I was buying mine) Technics Technics Technics. Mark2's or Mark3's makes no difference. But if you're going to be playing out anywhere that's what you'll most probably use. Besides their cheaper than Vestax and you're not going to need most of the additional features on the Vestax. And from my experience Technics are more durable.

Yeah, from what I've been told and seen, Technics 1200s are basically the industry standard and installed in about every club in the world. And price is definitely an issue. Any suggestions on where would be the cheapest place to buy them?

Gotta say:

Gouryella - ALL
Cosmic Gate - Exploration of space
Marco V - Godd
Moogwai - Voila (Armin Van Buuren remix)

There are so many out there that you can't go too wrong, just buy all jeronemango's and you're set!

I'm in Sydney and light & sounds has fully loaded 1200's Mk2 w/case for $999.
One Stop DeeJay had Mk2's fully loaded for $850 and Mk3's for $950 (I think).
But if you show your local shop those prices they should match it. You shouldn't pay much more than that.

Firstly, thanks to jeronemango for the list of vinyls you're selling. On first glance at it, I'm interested in a couple of vinyls, but I'll send you an email if I decide to definitely purchase them.
lost tribe =gamemaster (original - signum)
gouryella = touryella
system f = out of the blue
push = strange world remake
cygnus X =superstring (rank 1 remix)
binary finary 1999 4 pack Orb,matt darey,pvd,
armin =communication (AM:PM)
Barthezz = on the move (dumonde/riva/original)
atlantis =fiji (spot on records)
Angelli And Nelson - Everyday (original /vocal mix)
peran van dijk - good time *cheese* :-P

Currently, my knowledge of trance is pretty much limited to a few dozen livesets and the Ministry of Sound albums - Trance Nation 1,2,3,4,2001,2002 and Addicted to Trance. Can anyone suggest what would be a good series (like Gatecrasher or something) to collect if you wanted to get a more broader set of tracks to listen to? Also, could anyone please list their picks from jeronemango's list? Thanx.

Thanks for the info on the Technics 1200s TBA. Actually, that's not a bad price. I know a mate who paid $1400 +P&H from the US a couple of months back.

Oh and thanks Tak too.

Finally, like my new avatar?
