If you preview 100 tracks on Beatport and you pick out 3 that you like and buy, I'd say that's digging. It's just the modern way.

All vinyl DJs dig. Not just to find breaks, it's a reference to looking in crates and finding tunes.

So, I'm partly in agreement because, to me it conjures up the image of the DJ relentlessly looking through records and listening to a huge pile to find some gems or some beats and breaks to cut with. I'm just not so sure we need to be too protective of the term.

I'd rather hear a kid saying "i spent hours digging through tracks on Beatport, I bought 3 stonkers" than "oh fuck, I spent ages digging around torrents to get the latest Deadmong single".

You should dig for tracks you like, and ones you believe they'd like. Then drop them and see if they like them. If not, change it up.

How about you pull your head out of your arse? Mans gone onto a music community to ask for some tunes. Hes made an effort. Would you expect to go into a record shop ask the person behind the counter to recommend some music and have him tell you sorry look for yourself.

09.05.2013		Can I get something off my chest? People keep mentioning "digging".

"Digging" is what DJ's like Cut Chemist, DJ Shadow, DJ Format, etc... do. They dig for breaks, or samples, or even single sounds, on old, obscure and unheard of records.

"Digging" is not shopping for new tunes. That's just shopping...

Now - if you download a pack of 1000 old blugrass records, and sort through them, and keep one or two, THAT's digging.

Just had to get that off my chest. I feel better now.

09.05.2013		Tescor you can use the world wide web it's just a click away... you can check on the billboards or visit social networks related to music and DJing like soundcloud there's so much mixes available there for your party. Or you can sign up to music pools or EAT A NICE SANDWICH I know the internet won't fail you on this! Enjoy your party!

06.05.2013		Go to soundcloud, add a bunch of big names (Sander, Pete Tong, Quintino has a good one etc) and look at their weekly radio shows. If you click on more info they usually have tracklists which are chock full of some of the most up to date songs that you'll find around (as long as the radio show isn't old).

You'll find more good new music there then you will ever hope to incorporate.

Happy digging...

06.05.2013		Youtube ->click -> music-> search for songs that are close to the 128bpm range -> ??? -> profit

But seriously, search your music, in one way or the other, try to search for the music that you like

06.05.2013		Spend some time digging through the 'new' section of your chosen genre on beatport, sometimes you can pick out some gems that never make it big (or before they make it big) to make your set a little different to everyone else's.

As others have said, digging is part of the fun of being a DJ

06.05.2013		Call Me Maybe mixed in with Gangnam Style is always a treat I am just joshing, but that Pursuit of Happiness is big. I know it is pretty old now, but MIA - Paper Planes is still one of my faves.

As others have said above, it is always nicer to find your own big songs, as you get that feeling where you can't wait to DJ next so you can play it to everyone. Follow blogs, listen to mixes, and one where I find loads of my favourite tracks, are film soundtracks and adverts. Just always be on the lookout ("hear"out?) for songs you like and would fit different events. Or just for listening at home.

06.05.2013		You'll never have half as much fun unless you dig for tracks. But here's a few anyway that are line with that Aoki tune.....If only for the drop in mars!
