I so regret this. I mean look at it, every "new" song today is spun via cdr's. I have no cd-decks cause I spent all my money on the technics at the start, and now I can't scrounge up enough to buy a descent cd-deck. I see all these new sets in the amateur section, and listen to dj's on internet radio, and they're all spun on cd-decks; songs that haven't been released; songs that are d/l and played out. I feel like never making another recorded mix cause its already dated when I get the vinyl.

What does everyone make of this???

peace.

I strongly disagree with you

turntables > cd decks


if your going to download all your music your better off just mixing them on your computer

OK, not to pick on Arturo, but he's playing live on TranceAirwaves now and here is his tracklist up the point I posted this:

Paul van Dyk feat. Second Sun - Crush
02. Tiffany - Exedra
03. James Talk - Eggs Are Cute (Talk's Re-Percussion Mix - Cut)
04. Lili Hayden - Anything (Gabriel & Dresden's Code 313 Dub)
05. Paul van Dyk - Connected (Markus Schulz Remix)
06. Valentino - Flying (Sultan & Tonedepth Remix)
07. Paul van Dyk - That's Life
08. Matt Darey - Nocturnal Delight
09. Thomas Datt - 2v2 (Robert Nickson Remix)
10. Robert Nickson - Untitled (141)
11. Camouflage - Me & You (Humate Remix)
12. Locust - Valley Of Love
13. Outback - Minds in Motion (Original)
14. St. John vs. Locust - Mind Circles (Original)
15. Masters & Nickson feat. Justine Suissa - Out There (C-quence Remix)
16. Rob Aker - Spacediver
17. Jose Amnesia - The Eternal (Thomas Datt Remix)


All these with the exception of Outback - Minds In Motion, and Eggs Are Cute, and Out There are from a CD, cause none of them are released. So how can one compete with this when they don't have CD-decks.

Yes, you don't have to have all new songs, but whats the point of playing old songs where everyone says "this song is soooo overplayed"!??? The set is what you can make of it, regardless of aging songs, but I'm gonna skip the BS and say that newer sets are what people look for nowadays. Its what sets DJ's apart. Their track selection, not the same selection everyone who has vinyl plays.

It not the tracks, but what you do with them, that set a DJ apart.

Playing old songs are good, playing too many of them isnt.

Skipping all the bullshit, 99.9% of all these amateur DJ's spinning these songs are downloaded off the HUB! How many do you think have a first hand basis with the producers themselves???

ANd about what you do with the tracks making you a diverse DJ. Not in the progressive, trance array of things! Its souly based on your TL and your mixing skills!

Key! Now where in there does it say that your TL HAS to be all new stuff?

yeah, great, unreleased tracks are always nice
but in reality, those are mp3s burnt and put onto cdr and stuck into a cd-deck
im sure for online mixing it sounds just fine cause people are only listening at 128k or whatever, lower maybe?
you play mp3s in a club environment.. its gunna sound like.. uh how to put it - shit

and HERE, in Australia (might be different over there) - turntables are still in every club, some clubs dont have one cd deck let alone two)

aside from all that, still playing ones and zeros, still playing a cold machine and pressing buttons, feels so lifeless i may as well not be there

Anyone ever thought that maybe some of these unreleased tracks are promo, or he found it as a whitelabel, I've got tracks before that haven't got released until awhile later, I just happened to find them as whitelabels.

Sure, some might be on promos, but only on CD-R. None of those, other than the 3 I mentioned are touching plastic at the moment. SOmeone prove me wrong.
