Vinyl.


was thinking that... it's funny. i just went through almost 3 straight years of buying digital for the most part, but i've been buying mainly vinyl since about March... i just love playing vinyl - end of.

as far as the future of dj'ing, i don't know what more you could do to 'push dj'ing forward' without making it not dj'ing anymore. to me there's djs and live acts. funnily enough, it seems the more a 'dj' adds to his or her technical repetoire, the less solid the performance gets, in most cases anyway. anytime i've seen a dj absolutely kill it lately, it's been using 2 decks and a mixer...

i posted this in another board on a similar topic:
i can't wait for the time when dj's just show up to a club with nothing, and then wirelessly log into their online music library, and audio software programs. the artist would play on a huge vertical transparent 'minority report' multi touch screen interface-mixing, cutting, editing, producing songs on the fly-they could also virtually tag team with anyone throughout the world. who knows, maybe in the far future only the machine would be the musician-scanning the body language of the crowd, reading everyone's neurological signals and selecting tracks based on the the overall crowds emotion. take it one step further, our future musical experiences will just be our brains in a vat...

So long as they're not playing that FILTH that you play, we might have a chance!!

Why should the DJ need to be physically inside the club?

How much are you paying for imports and where are you getting them? I stopped buying vinyl when Syntax finally had to call it quits within the past year. I could justify it when I was getting at the disto price but buying them at 15 bucks a pop is out of the question.

Surely people should play on whatever medium they like? As long as the room shakes who cares how you do it.
You have to remember that the English are better than everybody else. And even if it's not actually true, we all still believe it, so we ain't changing for nobody.

Vinyl.


I wish it would go back to vinyl but it ain't gonna happen.

Some clubs might run some kind of ISDN connection (like FSOL used to do) from their studio straight into the clubs with a live video of them on the screen so the DJ doesn't actually have to show up. However, the crowd would miss the live interaction element of it, making it less of an 'event' and take away the feel of a proper party.

Realistically, I can see a lot of the bigger clubs just becoming more and more integrated with their technology - supplying a laptop for dj's to log in to their online library, along with cdj's and decks so the dj can choose..I reckon some manufacturers will start selling 'all-in-one' solutions cheaper and cheaper to nightclubs and consumers so in years to come it'll cost you around a grand to own a set of cdj's and a laptop with abelton and Final Scratch etc..all routed through a mixer or whatever..decks will always be secondary but most people will probably still use them..

I'd like to see DJying shift a lot more by the big name DJ's making more live tracks on the fly in Abelton in between mixing in tunes on decks or cdj's or whatever..

Although personally I don't think that'll happen as a lot of the big name DJ's generally like to play it safe when playing out and don't like to take risks in case they fuck up, and this can happen when making tracks in Abelton on the fly

Many DJs pride themselves on exclusive content. Difficult to see this except for bar gigs and weddings.

my hope is that the wall between the moments of inspiration in the studio and dancefloor sensibility will break down. i am sick to death of 2 stereo sources and a mixer.

lots from Juno (shipping is a bitch), but you can't get most of the tracks that i purchase anywhere else (in most cases)... i used to order from Syntax a lot RIP.... Juno's where it's at man - just have to brave the expense...
