I'm not sure about trance but "cool" techno/house is all being pressed on limited run distributions ( > 5000) before hitting digital downloads.

I might be in a bubble living in Brooklyn, but I'm seeing more record bags than thumb drives these days.

Sites like themixtapeshop.com and turntablelab.com are putting out great stuff every week so it's easy to build a set. You don't need to go digging through dusty bins to get records these days.

If you get all your records from the same place as everyone then your sets are going to sound the same as everyone else.
