There are some tracks Ill buy and later its like 'why in the world did I buy that track?' But mostly if I like it and I feel like it would go good with another track, Ill buy it.

I tend to buy various kinds, whether it be progressive or electro or hard or what have you. A few years ago I tended to buy just about anything under the sun that caught my ear; now, I still buy different styles, but regardless of the style of any given track, I tend to go for the darker sounding tracks.

I get stoned on beatport and end up with like 10 chill-out/electronica tracks that I will probably never mix but they sound nice

I didnt say I buy all of it

Takes me hours to find anything good in almost any genre on beatport. Lots of sifting through pages and pages of Total Wipes.

...as I listen to this funky house track that will never fit into any of my sets....

I just go with what sounds good to me. Mostly stay in trance and prog house on beatport, with some occational house and techno.

I mostly stay in the prog house section on these sites, like Beatport, AudioJelly, DJDownload..I used to go in the trance sections, but I just haven't really been into a lot of the trance being released digitally nowadays. But I think "The Closest Thing To Heaven" by DJ Fire sounds quite good...have to download that one.

My motivation... because I enjoy the tracks, and enjoy them well enough to want to spend my money on. It's that simple for me, and that's always been my bottom line for anything I end up getting. Why buy something if you don't like it, right?

What gets me motivated to buy tracks is knowing that I'll make a mix out of it soon. If I'm not expecting to make a mix then I don't buy any tracks.

How I judge which track I'll buy is a different story. I always avoid buying by impulse or at the heat of the moment. This cuts down on the crappy purchases. First I'll skim through some samples and pick out the tracks I like from the initial response that I felt. Then I listen to each tracks' samples in its entirety instead of skimming through it and if I still like it then it goes in the cart for checkout.
