DJ-ing with decks has died. DJ-ing lives on. 1210s are no longer made and although there is plenty of vinyl out there, it is not the same. Not the same? You cannot buy new stuff on a constant basis, you don't have friends that only know vinyl and times have moved on from the 90's. People have got older.
Incidentally CD came along earlier than the article states, standard equipment from the early 90's with lots of beatmatching gizmos.
DJ-ing was an analog skill. Original early dance music was analog production of digital instruments.
Kids today are using digital technology for the whole chain of music creation including DJ-ing.
- lostgame 10y ago>> You cannot buy new stuff on a constant basis Uh, yes I can. Play de Record, where I live here in Toronto alone would have more than enough to satisfy my lust for both brand new releases... I have 'Views' by Drake, I have 'To Pimp a Butterfly' by Kendrick Lamar, I have 'A Moon Shaped Pool' by Radiohead...I haven't been able to find a new release that I have lusted after for I haven't been able to get...not to mention the scores of breaks and house/techno I'm able to score that would be hard to find online... >> you don't have friends that only know vinyl Again, not true at all. Not 'only' vinyl, but a lot of our friends are really getting into it and don't consider a lot of other stuff, especially in conversation. Vinyl has made a huge resurgence in the last 5-10 years. Our band is looking at pressing ourselves. <3
- ntaenta 10y ago> 'Views' by Drake, I have 'To Pimp a Butterfly' by Kendrick Lamar, I have 'A Moon Shaped Pool' by Radiohead These are some of the most popular musicians on earth though, not surprising that you can still find their music available in physical stores.
- sneak 10y ago> DJ-ing with decks has died. This is not an accurate statement.
