I've Personally I've been collecting techno, and acid house for 12 years. I like some drum&bass, and the harder techstep. But the lame ass shit jungle that's played at most kiddy parties, with peoples used and out dated records, just does not cut it for something to be snobby about.

ok
well i outright apologise for any mishaps i may have caused i just really don't like trance, but i do have freedom of speech.. and i shouldn't have to be reamed out for speaking my mind and no i havn't been keeping up with trance.. i've only been up to date with house, breaks, and dnb.. i only have so much money and so much time to attend shows.. and trance is one of the last for me ~Mike

definately DONT get rid of your records. When i buy drum&bass i buy for catchyness, playability and if i like the track but wouldn't necessarily play it in one of my sets. I just buy it so i can have it to fuck around with. So 10-15 years down the road i can come across it and still enjoy it. Ive kept every record i've ever owned. i dont think i could part with them, even my old hardhouse records i keep around. So that one day i can throw them down and reflect back to my e-tarded days a had with my close friends that i rarely see anymore.
records can have sentimental value too that can bring back some great memories! and you might miss your old records years down the road after u sell them. so dont!

i'm gonna have to agree with almost everyone in this thread, don't get rid of em..
if you have to, for money, then just sell the ones that you never play(ed) or that dont have other value to you. anyways ive changed genres too, although it was hard house to jungle/dnb, and it just takes time... i was the same way, i couldnt buy many records because money was kinda scarce :P but after maybe a month or two you can have a short maybe half hour set of the new genre, then it just goes from there. thats what happened to me with breaks, the first few records i bought, at the time i thought they were dope but as i bought more, i just kinda defined my genre of breaks and before long my first bunch of breaks were collecting dust.. anyhoo, i think you should do whatever you want to do, but just dont get rid of your old records. you'll enjoy playing them a couple years from now :)

you know I have 100+ techno records that I've never listened to at all... fuck and the silly thing is I've been DJing CDs for 4 years. I just bought records while high after parties. XTC is bad.

Ive been collecting for almost 4 years and still have breaks, dnb, trance, hardhouse, hop hop/rnb, garage, and now all my house... I still get spers where Id like to go back and mix somthing diffrent. And super soma is right... it makes you more versitile, or maybe you create somthing diffrent. I still cant decide what I really want to focus on... but spinning what I really love at the moment will keep me the most entertained and modivated.
And isnt there a genre of trancy breaks??? And what to do with all your old reckords... well there are a load Im done with and will probly never need again... ill sell them... but still keep enough for a set incase a dj calls in sick and they need back up ;)

i gave up on collecting trance for a while, started selling my classics to people. With the stuff i couldnt sell off, I incorporated it into my techno sets and now im kicking myself in the ass for giving up those records.
On a plus, i've found pretty much 90% of the tracks I sold.

Yeah, maybe i was a bit rash with the notion of wanting to sell my records. It's definately all about your collection and i'm sure you guys will agree that nothing beats the feeling of pulling out a track that your fellow dj friend has not heard before but loves (and wants). I like finding breaks intellegent sounding breaks with good hooks and clean funky melodies that roll off of deep bass lines nicely. I wanna make people dance and program sets and ladi di da (it sounds all cheesy and sarcastic, but i'm serious).
But I also wanna draw the feeling of making people happy with trance. And i fully agree with Myles's point of view. Trance, like a symphony, sounds better louder. It's complex and catchy and some of it (for a lack of a better word) is simply beautiful. Listening to a track like darude's classic, sandstorm, over z95 sounds like shit. but alas, if you play it in a car with a great sound system, all of a sudden you don't feel so conscious about your sound levels blaring while playing cheesy trance down robson street. People are looking and talking shit, but fuck em. You'd shit talk them too if they were cruising and blasting 'rock and roll all night' down robson, so it's all fair game. I love the feeling of trance on a good set of headphones, infront of a concert speaker system at a rave or club, and even over shitty transistor radios now. I enjoy imagining what those little squeeks and punchy bass lines sound would like at riverside with a TX system emphasizing each and every sound. I often give tracks too much credit but if i can imagine music this good, someone has got to have already thought of it. And it's gotta be out there waiting to be found. God damnit do i love good music. See, the thing is.. also like what Myles has said, good breaks don't come around too often. It's true, i guess i'll never stop collecting breaks. but i'd love to be one of the few guys in the world with 'the ear' and pick out a jems and just rock the socks off the guy/girl who doesn't normally rave, but ended up going anyway, got tempted into the drugs, did em, and ended up front and center surrounded by 1000 others who are all feeling the same music also.. music that i chose for them. it would be awesome. cheesy if you don't get it. but awesome if you do. and fuck you. i'm not a noob, assholes. I was around when crazydave's oldschool party stories sounded like 'i collected techno for 5 longs years now and back then, we didn't... etc etc etc'. i've been around the block. so stfu. I have enough records right now to play out, but i want enough to be able to play every weekend and not play the same 2 records more than twice a month. I want variety, and spinning two genre's will spread my resources too thin. I also want the rave scene to be around by then, and i'm getting a bit antsy. *bites lower lip* keep on coming with the advice guys, this is all good. and kraig, yeah. the dark side ;=/ i can't help it!!! but you know, i look at breaks dj's one way and trance dj's a whole other way, but at the end of the day, both look cool in tight t-shirts and dark shades in clubs. [sorry for the novel guys, it was even too long to proof read- bad grammar posts will get bad karma (this goes double to you marty)]

Welcome to the "Dark side"......hahaha.
I've been collecting for about 4 years now ( might a bit longer ). I started out with the har house and ventured into Trance. Now I'm slowly getting into more techno lately. I haven't made the switch to the broken beats ( I don' think I will for a while )
