Your motivation for buying tracks

I just have to laugh at myself when it comes to buying new tunes. Because I find that I go from one extreme to the next and there really is no pattern to what and when I buy something. Last week, for some reason I just had this urge to buy crazy electro and tech house tracks and now this week I find myself buying really beautiful and relaxing trance. :stongue:
I am happy I buy inconsistantly like this though because I will be able to pick from a wide genre of music when need be. And also, its good to be able to mix a bunch of different styles instead of getting stuck on one. It can only make you a better dj. :) |

| I've got everything from progressive house to hardstyle. I don't really see any point in limiting yourself to some style. Good music is good music, regardless of style. |

i buy whatever i like....
and that is mostly tribal, progressive house. i never rly search the trance section, progressive trance etc....
the one i find wierd is that i dont search the techno sections, even though i like techno. i think its because i dont spin it. i can see people who like trance, if they want to start soft with progressive or wtvr... makes sense for them to buy it, but for me to buy 120 - 131 bpm tracks and then jump to 140 doesnt make sense.
if that made any sense. |

Yeah it sure does.
I am mainly playing for myself though. I mean, there are a lot of times I play records just because they are good tracks to listen to even though I may not necessarily play them in a set or mix them for a demo. |

| A lot of the times I pay attention to what’s on the charts on Beatport or what others are playing. Obviously if I know the track and like it, 9 out of 10 times I will buy it. The magical thing with Beatport is that once you click on a producer/label/remixer it opens up endless possibilities of genres and other producers. My tastes lately have been along the lines of the tech house/techno anything on Bpitch and so on and so on. I would say the main genres I shop for are tech/electro/deep house and some minimal stuff. I try and get about 15 tracks from each genre in my cart and narrow it down to the 7 I like the most. |

| I'm motivated by the feel or atmosphere of the track. It depends on my mood usually. Most of the time i'm in the mood for sublime, melodic trancers and progressive house/trance/breaks tracks. I like to buy tracks that I know will fit in a set, and like to think what tracks would go well together, based on the feel obviously, and the elements of the track, as well as the name of the track. Like if something is about space, i'll try to find spacey tracks with some names that are relevant to the theme. And then if i'm creating a journey, then i'll find a mixture of tracks, with a different feel to them, i.e. a light house track, and then a dark techno track or a rhythmic prog track. |

yeah I started off with TTs and then ended up selling them several months later since had no money to constantly buy Vinyl. Got CDJ's now and music is not an issue anymore. |

Well, let's not go too far. I won't be selling my vinyl or my turntables. ;) |
