Re: what did you do before internet, SLSK...etc DOWNLOADS

i bought all GU discs. and anything else that looked appealing. but i remember my rent only being like $200 back in those days too. back when i had 2 or 3 roomates. now i have no roomates (gf not included) and cant afford a fucking thing.

Re: what did you do before internet, SLSK...etc DOWNLOADS

before soulseek and Napster I used a great great website called AudioGalaxy. That shit was awsome! Neat blue site with white and yellow lettering. I remember those days. It was around '98-'99.
I hooked up my entire office / company with the "satellites" you would need to download from various ftp's and stufff. Thats when I started collecting most of my 80's tracks and found great sets from Digweed / Sasha.

Good times.

Audio Cassette...

Used to record my favorite tunes off the radio and make my own mix tapes. I think I got my frist kiss 100 set from here. What a night that was.

Cassette Tapes... I use to tape old school mixes off the radio here in Indy.

Back in the day when Flavor Flav was kind of a hard ass and not a T.V. celeb.

I can still remember the 1st time I saw a dual deck tape player and that was the shit!

Thanks, that was fun remembering that time!

Re: what did you do before internet, SLSK...etc DOWNLOADS

so... in a few words, everyone of you are soulseekers now or what?? what about dont let the vinyl die and stuff like that?. Its not like i dont download from slsk, in fact most of my tracks are from there, but a few weeks ago i was mullered by some of you because i do that.

ps:before the internet i wasnt really into the music, so i used to buy pop/rock/rap/hiphop/dance/etc music, everything that were available in stores.

Same here hard to keep up...alot of lower qualtiy tracks to clean out as well...

I used to actually pay for my music as well...i found this guy on ebay from turkey that had tons and tons of live stuff....so i would pay him like 2 or 3 bux for a cd....thats how i got all my stuff till i foound about audiogalaxy in 2001

no, not everyone.

i feel very strongly about not downloading edm releases to play out. the only things that i download (mostly from slsk) are live sets, rare/out of print stuff for my own personal listening (not playing publicly), and tracks that i have recently purchased on vinyl that i'm waiting to be delivered.

i don't agree with downloading tracks for free to play out in public. there are plenty of pay sites for that.
