i hope they will always keep pressing vinyl... it deffo adds something. Although i/we only use cdj's on gigs, it deffo feels better as an artist to receive a track on vinyl instead of just seeing it appear as download only.

About the sound quality, im not really thinking its sounds better, but it sounds slightly different, maybe a bit more warm or authentic.

VOTE FOR VAST VISION AT THE DJ LIST!

I still get chills listening to my old tapes & hearing the vinyl static noises, especially as the first track begins or after a tunes been pulled back, it's just how music was meant to be. Thankfully many of my favourite drum & bass DJs are still spinnin the old dubplates and it's cool that they still have so much support. I support the digital age thoroughly, as a fan I buy it, but nothing beats the cream that is the feel of a vinyl.

yep! also, cover art is really nice. I love looking at Wagon Repair and Border Community sleeves. You FEEL something just looking at it.

I love vinyl.

I love Beatport and other download sites, and the ease of just burning a bunch of MP3s to a CD, but in spite of this I sometimes wish romantically that vinyl were still the only medium for electronic music, even though that would mean I'd have to buy a lot fewer tracks.

That would be good though. I don't even wanna think about how many tunes I've gotten from beatport that pretty much never get played and I regret buying. Being selective makes for a great music collection.

yeah, i know. lately i've been holding onto my beatport crate and whittling it down over a period of 2 weeks. it generally coincides with my paycheck schedule.


i've managed to get it from 250 down to about 180 now payday can't come soon enough.

I generally dont buy a record unless it sits in my wishlist for at least a week....gotta let the newness feeling subside. Sometimes I'll take things out of my list and if I come across them later and still like them, then I'll pick them up. If you like something for more than a month you know it will have lasting power

That works pretty good, I've been doing that too.

I like to hold my tunes for a while before I buy them on beatport as well.. I've had some in my crate for a couple of months now - just use another account to buy the ones I really want at the time.

If theres a release with 3 or 4 good tunes on it then I just buy the vinyl for all the difference in price its worth having it in physical format.

Also in reference to buying vinyls, labels like mojuba, styrax leaves etc are generally limited release so they make a decent long term investment as they tend to go up rather than down in price after a year or so.

and that's why finding that worn white label at the end of the crate feels so great. testing it at the shop's turntable and realizing you've find a classic.

Fun fact:

A LOT of music is still vinyl only...promos included. I was visiting my family tonight for my brother's graduation and stopped by the record store I used to go to all the time. The manager was telling me that last year at Sonar, a friend of his was getting vinyl promos and CDs were like...unheard of lol. During WMC I got a few vinyl promos too (they were actually REALLY good), nice to see people still go through the trouble of doing that.

All of the best djs in the world are using records?
Who defines best in the world?
If you go by the top 100 list....

Bob Sinclar
Eric Morillo
Eric Prydz
Pete tong
don't use records. They may release some songs on records (Prydz), they may liten to records when they chill at home (Bob Sinclar), but they don't spin them. Thats just the few I could think of off the top of my head. There are more...
