Basically title. Been DJ’n for a hot minute and wondering how people are adding to their collections. Mostly mix House, DnB, Dub, Hip-hop, Lofi, and plenty of genre-blurring niche experimental biz.
Some of the stuff I have was inherited from others, some of questionable quality. Lately I’ve been inspired to tidy up my collection with high quality stuff. Fundamental issue is if I paid a dollar for every song I want to spin, I would be financially ruined forever.
Do you use a service? Do you pirate? Do you find giveaways? How are you filling your catalogue with proper high-quality ammo?
I knew a DJ 20 years ago. He got most of his stuff by visiting thrift stores and markets where he would buy anything and everything on vinyl for a cheap price.
