    Default Where do you buy your digital techno releases from?

    **** Beatport.

    Overpriced and not imo user friendly.

    I shop at Boomkat, Addictech and occassionally on JunoDownload.

    Those 3 do package deals for the whole EP/release.

    Where is a good place for a ton of good techno. I can find plenty of places that sell tech house and minimal but I'm after harder stuff.

    Radial, D.A.V.E, May etc...

    emusic.com is surprisingly good for techno. trackitdown.net is good too, and detroitdigitalvinyl.com for submerge releases

    beatport

    Its cheap - plenty of tracks $1.49
    Half the price of some of the other sites.

    I resent being charged the price for a physical release by a digital download site. There's just no need, and I worry its just stunting the growth of the legit download scene, pushing otherwise paying customers towards soulseek et al.

    Beatport costs 1.49 USD
    Track it down costs 3USD

    That makes it cheap

    Although I have a feeling it costs more in the UK...

    Yeah Beatport charge in pounds for UK customers plus they have the £1 handling fee for Wav's which is frankly a piss take.

    Hmmm. That sucks

    Wish they'd stop being suck greedy ****ers. Be better for everyone to sell 100 for a dollar than 10 for a pound

    if you've got a fairly broad taste in music, it's worth registering on emusic. it's only independent labels, no majors (or subsidiaries). lots of very interesting stuff.

    when i registered (a while ago now), they were giving away 25 free downloads... can't say no to that!
