Deep Dish downloads mp3s to use in their sets.
Now before you hit the reply and start bashing, as I know some of you
would looove to do.
They download mp3s that are sent to them by artists and record companys
that are released while they are on tour and doesnt have possibilitys
to pick it up.

So they use it as a temporar matter until they can get the cd/vinyl.

There's a little difference between artists getting the stuff directly and legally from the labels and some nobody getting it of a releasegroup server or whatever.

My Vinyl Sale

theres a 'final scratch' tour on atm here in AU. for those unfamiliar with final scratch, its basically a vinyl that you can load mp3's into.

there was a interview in a local mag with a guy called Mark Dynamix (pretty big here in au) and he was giving it the bigups, saying that he had a friend in germany who would "email" his latest tune over to mark and he'd be playing it that night.

now this sounds all happy and joyful, but as someone already mentioned.. quality? surely. even 320kbps mp3 is compressed and doesnt sound as good as vinyl or cd

Hold up, a vinyl mp3 disc? Please elaborate.

I know... at least 5-6 professional producers / deejays using mp3 ...
the only problem I see is... deejays and producers giving these private files to releasers (happens when it pops out on the net !)...

final scratch is a product from stanton, you get 2 vinyls that you literally 'load' mp3s into and you can cue, scratch, cut like a normal vinyl (apparently) - now i havent used it, but ive read a lot of good things about it, for one, Richie Hawtin uses it.

but yeah, the plus is obviously being able to have a laptop at a gig with thousands of mp3s...

IMHO it's okay if Amatuer or Semi-Professional DJs use burnt mp3s (as long as they cannot buy them because they are no longer available or they cannot reach them).

BUT pro-DJs (e.g. PvD, Armin...) shouldnt do that, because they like get the tracks anyway legally as Promo CDR or Vinyl acetate.
BUT PPK kinda got famous cause Oakenfold played them from CDR (as he or someone else gave it to him from their mp3.com site)

So this is a pretty contradictory topic.

why are you guys talking about this like it is so bad, you guys download mp3s too, whether you play it in live sets or not, you have it before it comes out too

If djs who use mp3 of a song have the right to sound it because they buy it on an other and original support or because they have permission by author there is no problem. If it isn't so it's illegal and they aren't Pro dj's...

If PPK got popular because of a cdr Oakenfold used, then this madness must stop before trance gets furthermore polluted

djs that get paid to play out music should pay the artists (i.e. buy their tunes)
i don't think any pro dj illegally plays mp3s, only wannabes do that

btw if you own the vinyl its ok to make a backup cd and play it


ppk was alright before it got slaughtered
