The vinyl argument should have been over a long time ago. We don't listen to a DJ because he is/isn't spinning on vinyl, we listen to them because of the tracks they mix together and the concept they communicate within the mix. We need more sites like Beatport and more high-quality digital releases. Hawtin is about pushing the limits of what we can do as DJs. Take a lesson.

People said the same thing about vinyl when it replaced live musicians, world keeps on turning...

Vinyl might be dead, but please, don't kill the 303 and 909!

ohhhh vinyl ohh vinyl. for gods sake. why don't you become wax cylinder purists. or why don't you insist that the music isn't *genuine* unless some bloke actually sings the song in a pub. Look innovation is literally *the* best thing about music. New music - innovation. New tech - innovation.

the best cybertrance is on CD, the best house is, and will always be, on vinyl

yours is the only comment i intend to read here, who ever said some cliche vinyl crap, we know those are hating a lot, not giving change a chance, that's why vinyl djs are dying and im sort of enjoying it, stubborn dinosaurs.

what the fuck, the pacemaker isnt the thing that killed vinyl, just like that, LOL

first, cdj's killed vinyls way more than that, but even then, vinyls never will be dead, there still out there for people who needs them, people who are already used to vinyls, or ppl who scratch IMO

don't be silly ;)

vinyl is as good as dead, and people can denie it as much as they like.

Adapt and survive people.

got over that thing 2 days ago and bought myself Traktor... Possibilities track-wise seem to be endless, and therefore partially concept-wise...
