earcave is good for stateside 2nd hand tips
I’ll always check in periodically on sadedo and osunlade’s bandcamp collections

Economy Class Records (DJ Duckcomb) insta page is worth checking for 2nd hand tips.

I don’t get any from him as he’s posting within the US but I’ve found several UK copies of his tips. It’s all :fire::fire::fire:

Got more than a few gems from balearic Mike’s page

Without wanting to come across too grovelly… Apiento’s show on NTS is great source for me :apple: :grinning:

Also Matthieu Beck on DoYou, Love in the Afternoon (monthly show), did a couple of French balearic ones over the summer that were particularly spot on, Richard Sen’s show too every week on the aforementioned.

Balearic Mike’s show on 1BTN.

Colin Dale’s show on Mixcloud.

I’m not on Instagram.

And of course here.
