Richie Hawtin (official page)
As I walked down the street in Berlin last night a DJ stepped in front of me pulling his records and it sparked off nostalgic thoughts of the past, present & future.
I never imagined the outpouring of emotions and comments from my post. My apologies to the DJ and anyone who took my comments personally - it categorically wasn't my intention to suggest vinyl DJs are in any ways 'lesser' than digital.
It's not a dislike for vinyl that drove my comment, only a love of technological innovation & development. Twenty years ago when I first started DJing I found turntables & vinyl extremely exciting and inspiring (as much as any of you now starting for the first time or those who continue this tradition). Respect to everyone who finds happiness and inspiration in doing anything creative or musical. But for me - personally - I enjoy the challenges that I find in new technologies: technologies that continue to challenge my skills & inspire my creativity.
Everyone has their own ideas in their head & each of us have the freedom to use whatever instrument they feel most comfortable with. For me, as everyone already knows, the turntable has been replaced by the computer & other gadgets that I use today. But as I said, that's just my opinion...
After all, isn't that why we call it Techno?

That doesn't even sound like that much of a burn to me, I think people got a little touchy. People using vinyl to me is the same as driving a classic or muscle car. Sure it's not the most technologically advanced, efficient, easiest thing to use but in a nostalgic way it's still pretty cool which is why people do it. Sounds like he was just making a simple observation of that...
The comments are definitely what make this awesome though lol

His reply says it all, he wasn't trying to spark a debate or say anything negative about vinyl. As usual, RA jumped on this story early and helped blow it out of proportion.

i still dont see what the fuck there is to care about this, he could be a prick like deadmau5 causing a stir and play his fans and bystanders as pawns for promotion. im tired of such games and dj worship.

So am I. He did though retract part of his statement. Meh, as long as they play good tunes I don't really care about much else unless he's a douche to people regularly...

He's probably just bitter about vinyl purists slaying him for going digital.
The whole debate / argument over Vinyl vs. CD-J vs. Laptop is SOOO overplayed.
, its now deleted of fb and he kind of apologized..lol
