DJ's of Lemmy, where/how are you getting music for your arsenal? (midwest.social)

Basically title. Been DJ'n for a hot minute and wondering how people are adding to their collections. Mostly mix House, DnB, Dub, Hip-hop, Lofi, and plenty of genre-blurring niche experimental biz.

Some of the stuff I have was inherited from others, some of questionable quality. Lately I've been inspired to tidy up my collection with high quality stuff. Fundamental issue is if I paid a dollar for every song I want to spin, I would be financially ruined forever.

Do you use a service? Do you pirate? Do you find giveaways? How are you filling your catalogue with proper high-quality ammo?

It also depends on what genre you’re playing out. I find better Jungle|Dnb on Juno download compared to Beatport. For House or Techno, Beatport is better imo
