Serious question alertNo thank you for listening.. it's time to be moving forward,not living in the past as most Ibiza veterans like to do....
Bandcamp and Juno are my go to sites now. I’m still getting used to Bandcamp a bit, advantages of it being it’s a streaming player too.If there's no tracklist or i don't recognise the name I don't bother. You have to apply some kind of filter or you go nuts. Thousands of people putting out music each week and i have at best a few hours free, so you have to exercise strict quality control.
I swerve spotify and only support via bandcamp/juno but it has to be top notch ?
On yes probably same$€15-25. Signed up to a few other for exclusives and other stuff.. i give them to mates that dj and vinyls I'll keep for myself.. just ones I be looking for.... Bandcamp alot this year.. and some secret auctions. From friends with huge collections and are strapped for cashSerious question alert
Do you buy much music?
I do. Probably £20-25 pm on downloads + a CD or vinyl a month too.
10-15% are often older tracks I’ve discovered recently or didn’t remember.
If I heard a DJ play a 2 hour set, I’d expect 2 tracks to be older tracks. Or they might as well be downloading the Beatport/Juno [insert genre] Top 10 the night before.

Just got thisgood and important question, diver. imo, i buy too less music - i know i should and also i would like to support artists much more, especially the ones that i like and also because electronic music is an important part of my life. actually i'm self-reflecting about that since some months already now (the buying and the importance). i just buy tracks i really, really like or the ones i can't find anywhere in good quality or cause i want to listen to the whole track. and that's the case with probably 3-5 songs a month (that i buy), so, not much. i bought much more tracks years ago, when quality of uploaded songs on youtube, soundcloud and so on was pretty poor, like at 96 or 128 kbits, and when it was more difficult to even find them. but in the meantime that changed so much that my habits changed too.
so, right now i have a very long list of artists/acts and labels i followed over the many years on beatport and i check on regular basis their new stuff, some i have on traxsource, too, then some youtube subs that i check more seldom, like 'when we dip', 'blanc', 'madorasindahouse', 'progressive astronaut', ..., some labels of course too like stil vor talent and so on. and some months ago (obviously when a bit drunk) i went through all of my beatport artists (more than 360!) and followed the ones i found on bandcamp ... i guess i should apply tourist's filter asap not to go nuts ?
but coming back to my initial thought 'i buy too less': i intend to buy more music again ...
Brilliant Anjunadeep deep house styled track. Just discovered Volen Sentir and wow
