best place to but house music

Best site to buy records from?
Do house djs still play proper records?
Thought about getting some cdjs but i can pobably buy a lot of real records for 3-4k...

excuse my spelling

I always use(/d ) Juno.co.uk. Never had any problems.

If I was buying at the moment I might consider hardwax - they have so many things I want, but maybe it is a little more expensive than juno. Never used them so can't comment.

Hard to find, if you dont mind the prices.

If it's digital you're after Juno and Beatport are the places to go generally. If it's vinyl, Juno.

If you dont mind the high prices are awful service.....

Id avoid these guys like the plague if possible.

juno and chemical records have done me well over the years.

Thanks for the response...

I'v used chemical a bit for dnb, its still pricey can anyone recommend any labels that sell cheaper (label web sites etc...)?

thanks

here's a few i frequent

beatport.com
traxsource.com
djdownload.com
xpressbeats.com
audiojelly.com

who sells records in auckland these days other that real groovy?

All the DJs

Seriously though, so many people been shifting to digital the last few years. Ive spent a small fortune buying up peoples collections

I just cant understand why people do this.
A tune is not only a tune, its a memory of many things, and if you love music (as dj's claim) how can people part with these? Ive still got the first tunes I ever purchased, Ill admit they are pretty awful, and I can say they probably wont ever get played again but Ill never part with them.

how can people do this... when you have to house your collection in a dedicated room and rarely touch it as the pod holds all you're currently listening to

*wants more vinyl for his room*

This may be sacrilege but I've sold tons of my records over the years - probably over half of all I've owned. Plenty have gone to good homes though and I have sold quite a few through the discogs marketplace.

As much as I like actually having the record, the tune is more important to me and I've recorded hundreds of oldies off and remastered them - trying to do the ones which wont come out digitally anytime soon.

best advice i got when i started out buying records, "don't sell them".

I have a record that I don't want anymore and might be willing to sell...anyone want it? Not for re-sale though

The most common reasons Ive heard have been: Moving with the times, storage issues, moving countries.

Pffft, I moved countries and every time I head home I bring another big bag of them over as carry on. I have to waltz through the airport pretending theyre not heavy though otherwise I might get weighed and my records weigh more than all my check in luggage

I just cant part with mine, it has got to a point now where I have been considering buying a house just so I keep them all.
