By the way, could someone point out some truly great netlabels? I've honestly never heard an electronic track that I wanted to buy that wasn't available on vinyl (or in some rare cases, CD). I'm mostly into deep house ala Kerri Chandler, Moodymann and Theo Parrish, and I also like Detroit techno and european techno with Detroit influences (like Arne Weinberg or Kollektiv Turmstrasse). The best ones always seem to find their way on vinyl somehow, and I'm already spending way too much time on hunting down vinyl, if I started to research the netlabels, that offer hundreds or thousands of times more music, I'd never leave my apartment again, trying to find the gems among the fillers.
