Never understood someone like Carl Cox switching from vinyl to cds when djing. I'd have presumed that vinyl was important to him and that he would be elitist. I know a few of the old house djs in Manchester and they still play vinyl.

Well they must be playing retro-house sets as only a fraction of new tracks ever reach vinyl these  day.

Interesting article, but going to show some nievity here, Darrel Sheinman with his vinyl cutting lathe, is that for cutting acetates or just cutting records ?

No photo of Keb in the article.

 

Did they think his image might scare young readers ?

Facebook e boo they think his image might scare young readers ?

The article I read yesterday had Kebs photo on surrounded by some of his collection, I can't for the life of me understand why they took it off.

I reckon we could do our own version of the 8 tribes amongst the SERIOUS record collectors, not these lightweights :lol: 

interesting article,enjoyed reading it,one thing i know for sure is that collecting vinyl is extremely addictive,i start to feel a bit weird,like somethings missing if i havent bought owt in a few weeks

I think its quite simple Paul really. I can't think of one,[or, at least I'm not aware of any,] professional DJ who still plays vinyl out. I think, in the main, its not necessarily against using vinyl, its just far more practical to use either CDs or other newer technology available nowadays. Lugging lots of vinyl around is very hard work and it weighs a ton ! Also, it depends on what you play and for how long……Surely,the music you play and the way you play it is more important than what format its on ? I think vinyl will always be important to anyone of a certain age with our collecting obsession because we've all grown up with it and old habits die hard but in the mainstream scene its of little relevance these days. The CD players available these days are really good too.

 I think Paul, its pretty much only the Rare Soul scene and vintage Reggae scene that still play vinyl out to any meaningful degree. Maybe Rocking scene too….?
