Hello all.

When did the policy of dropping records from DJ's playlists once the record became generally available through bootlegs or legitimate release start? This policy although leading to some superb sounds not having as long enough life in the clubs as they deserved (unless played as an oldie) it did keep the thirst for unknown sounds alive and therefore keep the scene fresh.

I know some people did this a long time ago, but does anyone do this nowadays? I can't imagine why anyone would drop a record just because it was booted.

Usually done to keep things fresh and exclusive.

The unfortunate truth is that nowadays the Booted tunes are more likely to be Added to playlists
