Hi all

Not sure if this is in the right section so sorry if not

I was part of the rave scene in the mid to late 90s - Vibealite, Club Kinetic, Helter Skelter etc

I had a massive collection of vinyl and one of my biggest regrets was selling it in my 20s when I needed some cash

I spend a lot of time (usually when I?ve had a few beers and I?m feeling nostalgic!!) listening to tracks from that era on YouTube so I?ve decided That I want to try and put my collection back together

What is the best place to buy mid to later 90s hardcore tracks, either digital or vinyl?

Thanks

Youtube is probably going to be your best friend.

I can't think of anywhere that specialises in that era. All the stuff I listen to from that era I have on PC.

for physicals, discogs is the best place.

for digitals, you're kind of forced to scoure the earth for them.

the best places to start with are:

http://www.jundownloads.com/
http://www.beatport.com/
You can select the genre and then sort by date (old first).In most cases the label uploader has put up year of release on older uploads.

and
http://www.hardcoreunderground.co.uk/ (mostly for a few bundles like Vinylgroover, DJ Storm, and if they're still around, the JAL bundle)

To mix with, that's gonna be more of a problem, as a lot of stuff from back then were made digital by ripping the vinyl, I have loads of these kinda rips and the quality isn't the best.

Like someone has said for downloads use
Beatport or Juno.
Also hardcore underground have a few bits like vinylgroovers back catalogue.
Also may be worth messaging the artist through social media and asking them
Vinyl wise discogs is a good place to look and also look at imorecords. They still sell vinyl and sell them in bundles aswell.

But if you need to buy decks again it depends what you are going for. Vinyl or cdjs.
I am also selling a pioneer djm600 mixer and 2 pioneer cdj 800 mark 2s. Plus may even sell my turntables as I?m upgrading all my equipment and looking to also maybe buy 1210s.
Can give you my number if you want as I also have a couple of other mixers for sale.
