    My selection process? Spending hours and hours listening to other people's charts, and relentlessly chasing up tracks that I've enjoyed in mixes. I keep lists of track names to follow up on, and there are some tracks I searched for over 10 years that I finally nailed down a copy (e.g. some old SL2 remixes). Youtube is a great place for Oldskoolers to hear the old gems - reliving the goose bumps of Capricorn "20Hz". Oh yus.

    Anyone got a lead for "White Van Man"? There was a beautiful track, heard once off a whitelabel, never saw again.

    haha yeah all the oldschool rave songs have comments filled full of people reminiscing the old days.

    I personally download packs of mp3s and skip though songs trying to find ones i like - then ill go out and hunt high quality versions of songs i liked.

    Pandora internet radio is also another great way of finding new tracks to buy.

    Funnily enough spent yesterday doing just that, and made a list of tracks to go out and buy on Juno download (Awesome 3, Cubic 22 , Dance Conspiracy and so on).

    I always download WAVS as i'm funny about sound quality like that, and it's good for remixing IMHO. Still think they're too high priced though.

    I'd like a lead on a WAV download of Jonny L - Hurt You So and Kev Bird - This is a trip.. but sadly just wishful thinking i reckon

    Used to have "Hurt you so" on Vinyl years ago (long gone now), so I know what that itch feels like. Only a HQ copy of the real thing can sooth it!

    Man, it's the tracks you give away because you didn't like them only to find out later that you never really understood them and now you love them. Did that with an original compilation CD of "Jungle" bought at the time that had a pristine copy of Goldie's "Terminator" on it. I'll never get that back, and the person I gave it to has no idea of the value of what they have in their collection. GAH!
