white labels

[rvltion909]

You know what I miss about vinyl shopping? White labels and mysterious obscure promos.

Anybody back me up here? Do they even still exist in the "digital age" of things? I've never found any. Maybe its because I do 99% of my shopping at beatport and they just dont do that.

However, I do miss stumbling upon these gems. Anybody know why they dont exist or am I missing something?

Obscure promos and dubplates still exist, but you can't get them from places like beatport. I have alot of promos and "dubplates" directly from the producer. I dunno if there is another way to go about it other than going to the record store, picking up a promo, and ripping it via serato or w/e

man thats one thing that i missing about digging thru the crates!!! f@%K how do i miss that. here in l.a. back in the 90s i used to look for the BLUR bootlegs they always had hard to find classic tekno cuts. But like D said the only way to get them is from the producer now, but most of the time you get the mp3 or a cdr.

end of drunken rant!

aint that some shit...

I used to get good ones from chemical records in UK and random stores in the Netherlands... This transition period (vinyl to mp3 shops) definitely has its drawbacks.

TRU r909, OC is a road trip for me. DJ MOO came out one night to one of my gigs, but it was super pack and I was super drunk, so i really didnt get to talk to him. I remember my boy came up to me and said hey this guy is on the djtt site I shook his hand and kept on dj-ing/drinkin.
