white labels
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!
stand by im dj-ing thrus - sunday so I might get on here piss drunk again!
love that all the l.a. cats from dj tt are on right now.
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.
btw…mothafukin Orange County up in this bitch!! (thought I’d throw my tipsy regional shout out up here too 
) wish you lived closer Jess you seem like a cool cat to hang with!
just found this
btw…that whole sleep thing I posted about a while back is going greeeeeeeeat
however (weekday drinking stops this week…hooray)
www.whitelable.net allthough you need serato gear to make em play in 320kbp instead of 32kbps
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.
Theres a Dj Moo ? omg my hero ! lol
yeah bento, he’s from east l.a. too, well the nice side of east los. Hehe
How does they enforce that then?
what the heck is www2.? sounds dodgy. gratz on the sleep thing. but as far as not drinking on weekdays goes, well i’m just dissapointed 
lol that website had like 15 dnb tracks and no dubstep tracks 
i think they come in different forms nowadays, like in the form of bootleg rmxs.
Dunno, I poked around a bit because I was curious. They do indeed show up as 32 kbit files. I’m guessing they’ve crammed in the data in between the mpeg frames or something (fileformats aren’t my strong point, so just guessing). Might be encrypted, but probably just scattered around in the file in some way that makes it possible for serato to decode them.
Either way, the catalouge didn’t appeal to much to me. But the idea of free whitelabel stuff when you play with serato is def. a nice marketing trick.
