Gaat Vinyl helemaal verdwijnen..........??
Een tijdje geleden werd al bekend dat Dave Clarke gaat stoppen met het draaien van vinyl. Hij gaat alleen nog cdr en mp3 gebruiken. Steeds meer zooi gaat via cdr. De normale turntables lijken steeds meer en meer te verdwijnen. Door internet heeft iedereen de nieuwste promo's steeds en thuis wordt vanalles gefabriceerd. Oftewel: is er de kans dat vinyl over 5 jaar niet meer verkocht wordt?

DJ Sasha has made a radical decision. The superstar DJ plans to stop spinning records and CDs.
He might even thrash his beloved Technics turntables. But don't cry just yet.
Sasha will continue to make music, but in the future he will only be using computers to produce and remix his signature dance tunes.
"I know it is controversial, but I've had enough of vinyl," says Sasha in an exclusive interview. "Computers are revolutionizing what DJs can do and how they can interact with the music. Not only in the studio, but also in a live environment. It will change what people are going to expect from a DJ performance."
Sasha's decision to go all digital will likely turn the DJ world upside down. Switching from vinyl to computerized remixing is a heated debate among DJs. Some of them prefer the vintage feel of vinyl, and others prefer the clean-cut sound and versatility of digital music. In fact, when it comes down to it most DJs end up combining both in their sets.
Sasha used the endless possibilities of digital mixing on his newest remix album "Involver." "The record started out a regular mix project," he says. "But along the way I decided to put the entire record together as one piece of music rather than separate tracks. I reprocessed all the tracks and their sounds to make them fit cohesively as one eclectic piece."
Sasha (born Alexander Coe) is considered one the most innovative and popular DJs/remixers in the business. He is often grouped together with some of the world's greatest club jocks including Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk and Tiesto.
The North Wales native was catapulted into stardom together with fellow DJ John Digweed in 1994 when the remix duo launched "Renaissance: The Mix Collection." The two separated in the late nineties, which gave Sasha the opportunity to further his interests as a remixer, songwriter, producer and label owner.
Sasha's embrace of digital music technology might indicate the end of the DJ craft as we know it today. His fascination with technology is not unique, but it does put a refreshingly intelligent spin on his approach to remixing.
"I think the days of a DJ spinning records on a pair of Technics decks are coming to an end," he says. "Certain elements of dance music have become very stale and formulaic. The only way the DJ culture will evolve is if people start to push the envelop by embracing new technologies.
"Involver" is by far the most involved and personal remix project that Sasha has ever put out. The record's final set combines vocal and guitar-driven electronica from some of today's top electronic artists and emerging talents including UNKLE, Felix Da Housecat, Grand National, Spooky and Ulrich Schnauss.
The DJ's progressive house and trance sets appeal to a variety of audiences. Sasha is happy that his work reaches across different groups, including gays. He points out how much he respects his gay fans and their equal rights. "I'm all for gay marriage," he says. "It is civil liberty issue that needs to be sorted out."
He is not sure where he fits among the hordes of other DJs/producers in the dance landscape. "I'm just not one of those DJs that likes to sit back and play commercial tracks, he says. "I just like to keep myself creatively occupied by always looking for something different."
He believes that the dance music that is most popular and commercially successful is "the really shitty end of trance music." "DJs are always grouped together," he says. "So a lot of us are tainted by the few that play that crappy trance music."

Hoe denken jullie hierover?
Stilstand is achteruitgang, alles evolueerd, zo ook vinyl et cetera. Toch vind ik het altijd wel wat hebben. Vinyl heeft MEER dan mp3.....
Ik ben benieuwd.

. Hoort er dan gewoon bij. Daarnaast vind ik het persoonlijk 100x interessanter om een vinylplaat in m'n klauwen te hebben dan een gefikt cdtje. Dat merk ik ook aan de manier waarmee ik er omga, vinyls leg ik er altijd met veel rust etc. op en cd's gooi ik er nog net niet van een afstandje in.
