With the second weekend of Tomorrowland 2025 this week and our very own Creamfields taking place next month, now seems the apt time to have a peruse through Discogs once again, only this time taking a look at some of the lucrative vinyl releases from the world of dance and EDM that users of the website and online marketplace are seeking.
While some are household names, others might pique your attention to give them a listen – certainly, your plants might be keen on listening to at least one item in our round-up of 19. I myself am probably going to look up some of the more ‘obscure’ titles that people are seeking.
We’ve included the year of release and, if possible, the catalogue number of the specific release in question – failing that, we’ve included the barcode instead so you can verify if indeed the copy you have in your hand is the one that people are seeking on Discogs.
The only question then is: if you do have one, do you dare part with it?
