You might contact some labels and ask them. Chemical records often has limited promos available. For instance they had a test pressing of the new oceanlab tune several months ago.
Look, I pay around $13 US per record at my local record shop.
and my banking account is starting to go in the red...
If by any way, I can get some quality records for free or by paying less (including shipping and all that crap) I'm open for any suggestions...

The thing i was saying though is that promo lists are not free unless you are a big name dj. Even though you have to pay to get on them you would be lucky to get on one because they are usually very limited. Its not a way to save money, its just a way to get stuff long before everyone else.
Hopefully most good record labels will soon have digital downloads available like Joof has just done. This will make it alot cheaper to pick up new tunes when you dont want to drop money for the vinyl. I need to get some cd decks.

I see...
Well, at least I won't have to wait months to get a tune. Where I live, I have to wait most of the time, several weeks before getting a release.
Also digital downloads is a good idea... We will have a studio sound quality "compressed" lol... only I hate CDs, since I started to play with records. I won'T say more... I don'T want to turn this thread into a flaming war between CDJs and vinyl djs

well the good news is that almost all record labels within this year will be offering tracks on mp3 for about a dollar to two dollars each. That cuts spending so much. I spin a lot bro and i've been using nothing but CD's for the past 6 monthes... its something you should really look into if you plan to have a career in this (well one that can support yourself)
i've got nothing against downloading mp3s legally or illigally. but playing them in clubs. ugh. it sounds so shitty.

well i think people might be mixing things up. The pool most are on is about 55$ a month for about 30 vinyls. (around 15 every 2 weeks) Almost all are whitelabels and usually you can't choose what you get. However every now and then when a big release, like a tiesto, or PVD track comes out... ur monthly payment goes up a lil. I dont know who to put you in contact w/ though. mine was by complete luck.
