Have you already got CDJ's? Get a vinyl turntable and use it alongside the CDs, that's what I did for ages while I built up my record collection!

Buy all the vinyl you can afford
and some that you can't afford

Havent got either atm, too broke to afford anything

Don't waste your money on CDJ's just jump straight into vinyls, i have seen a pair of technic 1200MK2's for £200 at a second hard store.

If you haven't already got them i agree not to bother with CDJs. Second hand stores, pawn brokers and garage/car boot sales are all good places to look for audio equipment!

haha I still like his output but you know, 2 step garage esk beats vs straight 4x4 dirty techno, I know which one I find more interesting to listen and dance too...

aint that the truth

Funny how much good techno a lot of proclaimed techno fans are missing out on because it isn't played on Swamp 81 podcasts

Yeah, Data did claim once he was done with music.

yeah the Swamp81 show is getting on a bit...

For me, that whole sound peaked about this time last year. Most of 81's current releases were dubplates about then....

trusta - hypnotic/feels so was a great release though

Was just another 808/909/X0X/whatever drum machine is hyped at the moment with a vocal sample over it b2b acid house bassline. Tonnes of them around, absolutely nothing special, and I get the feeling were it not released on Swamp, there wouldn't be 10% of the hype around it.

Man like Tes La Rok released some absolute tunes, Uprise, etc. and now he's put out something that's just bland to me. His choice, totally, just not for me.

Jus Wan retiring, i think due to financial problems

it was a GREAT. RELEASE.

even though I honestly hate to agree with Sonika, I felt Trusta was a step up again for the label. Deffo a little edge on most of the other recent releases. Though I can't quite define what it is.

no more; toasty, search and destroy, vexxed, dub child (not feeling his new direction) storming productions, distructive/pitch black, hot flush, the fall of barefiles...

So basically the death of breakstep though I think hot flush still put out some good releases.

yeah hotflush isnt dead!

Saddest moment for me was not hearing anything from Bar9 after their In da mix album, other than piano tune. All I've heard from them after that have been remixes..

yeah, but it's not a dubstep label anymore

.....so? they still release people like mount kimbie, who do SOME dubstep
