[QUOTE="ivan, post: 852106, member: 5814"] there probably is loads of good stuff around, adz, it's just getting harder to find it. you'd think with the internet it'd be easier to find but the double edged sword of the web and easy access to cheaper music production suites means there's almost TOO much stuff getting released. don't get me wrong, 20-25 odd years ago there was plenty of stuff too but because it had to be on vinyl less risks were taken by labels so stuff had to be great to get released. i'll admit that there was a lot of shite released as well because labels could shift almost anything through the distributors. any old shit could still shift 30,000 copies because there were loads of shops to sell them and the likes of hmv/virgin didn't have listening posts and those were the days when refunds didn't exist if you didn't like something. there are also so many genres today that i get bored trying to find stuff at juno or phonica. i deliberately don't look at new releases on beatport because there's far too many. i still think great music gets released on vinyl because the label has to have real faith to take a punt on a physical product. digital labels can release any old shite because the overheads hardly exist. the great thing about house when i first started going out was you'd hear great new records every week and buzz off thinking what you'd hear the next week and so on. that is probably why i don't buzz off new music as much now because i'm NOT going out and hearing all the new stuff. i'm happy to sit in front of a pc and either search myself or be guided by tips from websites. however, tip sheets/dj charts mean we get lazy and everyone plays the same stuff. the beauty of clubbing was you'd hear summat that other jocks/radio stations had missed. the resident in your fave club was playing the best track ever and you had to know what it was. pen/paper in hand you'd get over to the booth and bug him 'til you found out. watching the record label spin around and trying to identify it before it stopped was a real skill. in a nutshell, there's stuff out there but you gotta find it. happy hunting. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
