The day I cant get any new releases on vinyl I'll be majorly pissed off. I will never stop spinnin the recs. I just love the sound and the feel. AND from the dancers perspective its fun to watch the DJ put the records on and watch them spin around and try to see what track it is.
I just played at a gathering over the weekend where most the DJs were spinnin CDs. Then when I went at the end of the night people noticed I was spinning records and came over to the turn tables to watch (like its been too long since they've seen this stuff or something).
If the music stops so does my heart. If vinyl dies then so do I.
As long as I'm alive I'll still spin the recs. If CDs take over as the only form to purchase new releases then I might just have to spin both but I'll still be super pissed off.

| at times i feel like some of you guys are hard-headed, but its all good to each its own, some people don't mind dragging heavy crates just so that they can play on their favorite medium, others prefer cds or ssl to each its own |

There will always be a Vinyl market, I hope. But regardless, I hope it does die out, so I and the other few can be the rare exception that plays these weird sick machines that spins some black floppy disc and with style and art the two songs magically blend, and the DJ always looks so busy while still connecting with the crowd.
Playing turntables is playing turntables, it’s a musical instrument. And some abelton kid will have no idea how to do what he just did on an apple computer and do the same on two machines and a mixer. And they are not DJ’s either. They are guys who use a computer program to mix two songs or to create a live or produced remix using the effects, etc, so whatever that will be called that’s what they are.
Regarding CDJs, They are still not vinyl DJs. Maybe if you spin psy then CD's would be best to get the music, but nothing beats spinning vinyl. Thats what a DJ is. If you look at Hip Hop, its very clear that you need TT's, CDJs are rediculous. And when you look at Turntablism and scratching, well its self explanitory as well, Vinyl is the only way to go. For electronica, most of the time the listener is not interested in TT's, so its a diff story. But a DJ is a DJ. |

| if you dont spin cd's or on ableton etc then you are spinning yesterdays records - no matter how new the vinyl is, the big jocks will have the tracks months before you do. simple as that. all vinyl is good for is to play a certain track you have that you cant get on wav download yet... |

I'm looking to buy Techs. I love the idea of vinyl and I have the money to support the idea. I'm just hoping the lack in popularity of vinyl drives down the price a notch.
