Again, wrong approach. Search for the best, buy the best, play the best, support the best.
Producers and DJ's are shit, because of this very mentality. They play/produce stuff cause it's new, not because it necessarily sounds good or is creatively fresh.

So you are just perpetuating the very thing you are mad about.
Exactly. Shit begets shit. Thus validating my point. Someone give me a cookie.

eh? you calling Arabs deaf??
and tracks make it into the top ten because of purchases such as yours where people just want to add to the number of tracks they have and end up buying the most generic stuff cos it would be easier to mix together.
PS. I dunno how you went through the breaks section and found nothing. I found some pure gems in today's dump itself. Some more in the Electronica section as well

I did find like 15 songs i liked in the end but overall there was very little to choose from
How do you not know this shit? I'm not even a DJ and I know how/where to find good tunes. You're seriously asking other people to do the work for you? You fail.

if you've ID'd one DJ in particular...you can try tracking them down personally, contact their booking agent or try going through the label(s) that have released stuff in the past. I know someone that contacted some little label in Europe for a particular mix and the DJ responded, was happy to be contacted, and just sent them the track, lol. nice!
beatport is convenient, but my god is there a lot of shit on there, lol.
I'll scroll through the top 100 breaks tracks once in a while. I'd say that 90% is crap (or perhaps just not my taste) and not even worth listening to...never mind purchasing. but there will be some great stuff buried in there. but for finding specific tracks/mixes...beatport constantly disappoints me.
