The rise of digital music distribution has made record pools for dj’s and even the compilation album all but extinct. There’s so many choices available online of sites to buy music from. And all that choice means it takes longer and longer to sift through all the new releases to find the good stuff.
UK record shop Boomkat recently launched 14 Tracks.com which offers a curated selection of 14 new and classic tracks based around a theme for a flat price or as individual tracks. So far they’ve got about ten collections on offer with themes ranging from ‘deviant disco’ and ‘destination:Tokyo!’ to a soundtrack ‘for a summer in the city’.
The site is easy to use and each collection has it’s own Mac OS inspired icon which is used for navigation at the bottom of the page.
i love this. a really cool addition to one of the best online music shops around. now if the prices weren’t in sterling. :)

Rumor on the site message board is they are working on the pricing. I guess that can be interpreted as a reduction sometime soon.
