Bet you're a lover of Trance Wax then lol

If you're referring to Ejeca's nonsense then yeh. There's about 100 tracks from the day that sound exactly the same. And yeh its dreadful. Drum rolls an all. He's just stolen songs and rearranged them.

Hopefully swiftly followed by Juno. Refuse to give Beatport any money. Robbing b'stards.

I am so with you on this !!
I always buy aiff , Firstly about a third of the tracks I was buying weren't aiff !! Secondly with Albums they wanted charge me aiff fees on every track. !!

Juno and bandcamp for me. !!

I guess it's better than nothing. I keep saying though that Mixcloud's biggest issue is audio quality. They re-encode and cut anything above 16kHz, even on the paid plans.

It's crazy that the free Facebook high-res stream sounds better...

Said it multiple times now, but I can't stand Mixcloud. Though the interface has greatly improved, the sound quality is fucking shit house. I asked Anthony Pappa to upload one of his mixes to Soundcloud once, he felt the Mixcloud version was top quality.. it's horrendous.

It's a real shame some of the artists are exclusively starting to upload to Mixcloud, Guy J for instance. I'd have no issue paying for the service, if they fixed the sound.

No Bunker 17 this sat.

Shame it won't be on this week... no excuses for not going on my morning bike ride however.

Oh exactly this, except I download in FLAC. They charge an extra £1 for every single track. Whilst Juno charge a bit more per track for the better sound quality, they still cap albums at around £12.99 to £14.99 which is perfectly acceptable. Beatport don't give a shit. The Digweed Live In albums - if you want the whole album in digital, including the unmixed tracks, work out at around £50 - £75 a pop. It's utterly outrageous when they have zero pressing, booklet and mailing costs involved. Would happily see them go out of business. There are far better digital stores out there who would fill the vacuum.

So f*** them and their "exclusives". I'll wait the extra few weeks and buy anything I want from Juno or Bandcamp. Juno's customer service is way better than Beatport's too. When I used to buy from them and had issues they really couldn't have cared less. Juno sort stuff out straight away. And they still send stuff next day delivery if you buy vinyl from them. All round better service and care across the company.

Personally glad of the week break for the Bunkers. Much as I love them, got a busy day today so don't have to worry about getting everything done so I can have the evening free for listening live!

Boomkat is usually the best value of all the digital sites - £1.10 per WAV incl. VAT and full releases are discounted.

Bandcamp prices can be excellent (latest bedrock is £2 for all 3 x tracks) or really high (some labels charge £2 a track). They really need to improve their site as it's ridiculous you can't have a basket / hold bin and select which track you checkout from there given you can't pay in one go if you've picked from different labels. They also need to improve the navigation - Beatport is easy to hunt for music on, even if you end up buying elsewhere.

Re: John Digweed - Bunker Session #16 (27-06-20)

Thanks Simon - will check out Boomkat. And you're right about Bandcamp - definite room for improvement, and whilst buying Bedrock stuff there definitely works out cheaper, LNOE (for example) works out more expensive once they add VAT on. So still buy their stuff via Juno rather than Bandcamp.

Found so much good stuff on Bandcamp that isn't on the regular download sites, so still fills a purpose. Unearthing those gems is sometimes a problem though!

Plus side of BC = Just bought an exclusive from Joy Orbison supporting their local food bank.

GR Etiquette (09 mix) | TOSS PORTAL

The negative is I just had to dump and re-add some tracks I may buy, but am undecided on .. BC won't let me select which track I can checkout even though all have to be paid separately.
