I know this is something that is down to personal preference and everyone does it differently but how do you sort your records?
It is starting to become a problem now my vinyl collection is pushing 300 and by the time I've found the next record I want, I've missed the best opportunity to drop it.
I've looked at other forums and posts and they have different suggestions of how to sort a record collection, but none seem to work that well for me:
BPM - With 99% of my records being DNB there is not that much difference.
Artist - I don't have the discipline to put everything back in it's right place, so after an hour of mixing they would be out of order again.
Label - Too many labels, and same reason as artists
Style - Again mostly DNB with only a few dubstep, jungle and house, and only range really from Zero-T softness to Rawtekk and Inasin at the other end of the scale.
Tunes that work well together - Whenever I'm mixing I don't really plan the set, so I just see what feels natural to move onto.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers, Alexi
