I can see that in the past working in a record shop would have been the perfect job for gaining access to hard to find music, but I think it's becoming less of a demanding task these days - music is now so easy to access, research and track down using the internet, makes it a lot easier for DJ's to access and incorporate original sounds into their sets.

I guess it's only over the last few years that it's been this simple to find new and original music from small independant labels, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the benefits of this appearing in the clubs and parties, I definately think that people are playing more and more eclectic sets these days, and that clubbers are getting more and more openminded!
