DJs playing records and DJs buying records are two different things. When you're looking for records, it's quick listens and gut decisions to keep or dump. The labor of love is only applied to stuff that makes the keep pile.

What's you point? You think DJs don't have large collections of vinyl? Tell that to the 15 crates sitting in my room. You think that doing needle drops looking for breaks is any different than doing needle drops for the chorus? You can look at the grooves in the record and read the track. You can easily see where the breaks are, and you can see where the chorus would be. So I'm at a total loss on what you think is different

The way your comment was written, it wasn't obvious you were familiar with needle drops.

Wanna talk about cueburns, wow, and flutter too? It wasn’t obvious you were familiar with sarcasm by your posts
