No one with an ounce of sense would take the top 100 dj mag poll as a marker to go by.

There are a very large number of top dj's who are using vinyl, to name but a few who i have seen in the last year doing so:

Raresh
Adam beyer
ben sims
rolando
Villalobos
Luciano
Sven vath
dan curtin
jay haze
Mr C
Jeff mills
carl craig
derrick may
Galuzzi/neumann b2b
Wighnomy Brothers
robert hood

My list is longer than yours - I win

Dixon
Sebo K
Anja Schneider
Jamie Jones
Ben Watt
Danny Howells
Martin Buttrich

Originally posted by Clovis 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.

word to that, i'm ditching ableton for something I can touch, instead of click.

Gotta sort through shit electro tracks I used to buy from beatport. :-p

i'll edit this DJ list too:

Chris Fortier
Magda
Xpansul

Originally posted by bas 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.

lies, I was there, and it was CD's, CD's fucking everywhere.
Barcelona's record shops are fucking awesome though.
If I hadn't done it on a budget I'd have spent a fortune, some really crazy white label stuff.

Originally posted by nefardec 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 do the same thing every two weeks. I usually end up saving myself ~ $100 every time I check out, and a lot of times I end up completely dumbfounded as to why I crated a track in the first place.

I'd also like to add Lee Burridge to the vinyl club.
