Addicts. Like myself
DJing with vinyl is fun as hell, gets me away from my screens, let’s me find music in a really satisfying and interesting way AND takes me to shops where i talk to people and learn things from them. The digging is maybe the best quality — walk into a place with a limited set of music, guide your search based on categories, album art, personnel listed in the sleeve etc. Digital provides almost none of that; digital “digging” tends to get boring and overwhelming, both.
Old man stuff, probably, but I do think there will always be some ppl tuned to wax. As soon as you want something you can’t find digitally you have to anyway, and from there it’s a slippery slope.
- ehnto 4y agoTonnes of great tracks never made it to digital that's for sure. Especially for the heavily DJ'd genres like house, DnB, hip hop, trance and all that. The industry was hundreds of different small labels churning out wax. many of which likely didn't survive long enough to port their back-catalogue to digital.
- drewbeck 4y agoIt boggles my mind how much music we humans committed to physical media over the last 70 years. It seems endless. One of the great joys of DJing is getting to swim in that abundance.
