Where to buy older "classics"... electronically?
Posted on: 27.04.2012 by Eleanor Munday
Hi All,

I'm looking for places online that sell electronic versions of older tunes/classics. I'm on about stuff from the 90's -

  • Acid house / rave / Hacienda/Shelly's type stuff from early 90s
  • Classic trance from 1996 - 2001 (Gatecrasher, Cream etc.)


I have a lot of the stuff on vinyl but the quality of ripping it is not great. Ideally, I'm looking for 320kbs +

Its possible to find some stuff on Beatport but thats the more commercial stuff, the rarer tunes are not there.

Anyone looked into this type of music before, any ideas on where to find it, if it actually exists?

I'm in a similar position to you, I've got shedloads of vinyl (mainly House/Garage) from the 90's and have managed to find some digital versions, mainly through CD versions on eBay and MP3's via iTunes. I mainly buy current music through Traxsource and I've noticed many labels are now releasing a lot of back catalogue from the 90's/00's, quality is superb too. I've finally started to rip some vinyl but you rightly say it is painstaking.

I've been desperately looking for a digital version of Julius Papp & Dave Warrin - Groove Asylum EP on Nitegrooves for ages with out any luck, so making do with the vinyl rip.

I've recently had some luck with some classic tracks Sasha played in the early 90's (not just him of course ) such as Meli'sa Morgan ' Still in Love', Shawn Christopher 'Don't Lose the Magic', NY' Finest 'Do You Feel Me' etc. My vinyl copies have seen better days!

u mean "find me"? i used to like that version too but wouldn't play it now. as for the alice deejay... i actually used to quite like that

The dance music from the 90's was unbelievably good. Its quite sad that it was around before the digital music explosion although the other side of that is it helps it keep that fresh, underground feel that i relate so much to the 90's.
the 90's was a great time for dance+trance music also when i first got into psytrance. i saw lsd by hallucinogen on your list which is a track i bought electronically not all that long ago. ofc i also have it on vinyl bloody awesome track... always reminds me of paul oakenfold's "voyage into trance" album and him playing tunes like those at a few gigs i went to. good times... incidentally it was also that album that got me into buying vinyl and dj'ing

the "iTunes Match" match feature sounds cheap... surely someone could just find illegal rips of tunes, upload those to itunes match and then download a legal copy?
What an absolute tune! I noticed Nick Warren has been closing his sets with it again recently, 18 yrs after its release! I believe that list also contains the cheesy vocal version, please ignore that.

problem is most of the labels no longer release tracks so you can't ask them directly... But I have had some luck on djdownload with 2000ish nu school breaks and hard trance, I don't really like trance from that era so never looked, but the seem to have the the oldest catalogue with some gems, but most releases were vinyl only in those days and no one thought to rip them until they had noticably degraded.

I've had fairly good results using the new iTunes Match feature in iTunes.

I'd check out compilations from Itunes... like http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sta...l./id473901023 has some of what you're looking for. When you buy the compilation the songs are much cheaper than 99c. I've heard the quality is equal to 320kbps so they should be fine for DJ'ing, though I don't know from experience.

The issue with ripping from vinyl are - time, quality, reliability.

It takes a great amount of effort to rip a vinyl track to a very high quality. Even then, i find that it is not always reliable (i'm talking Traktor beatgrids, loops etc.)

If I could find a good quality mp3 version of the full track (release, not a rip) then I am happy to spend money on it.

If you have them on vinyl the best bet is to rip them. Or maybe look for CDs that have the tracks on then you can rip a decent digital copy of the track from the cd?

What's the issues with ripping? What are your main issues there? Maybe getting help with that will be better for you?
