I learnt to DJ on Vinyl - and it’s better. But not for the reasons you think.
I finally have a turntable back in my life after almost 25 years (The Reloop RP7000-MK2).
But learning or DJing with vinyl doesn’t give me any bragging rights, or make me any better than DJs that learn or play digitally. That argument is as old and tired as the DJs in the comment sections arguing about it.
What I think they should be mentioning is that with vinyl, you can physically hold a banger. It’s not just an abstract waveform on a screen. And that’s pretty fuckin cool.
There’s a warmth to the sound that digital can’t replicate. And of course, some tracks that you can’t even find on Spotify and co.
This turns crate digging from a robotic exercise where you are just finding something for your next set into a new sub-hobby of DJing.
So I’m happy to welcome back wax - alongside my digital DJ life.
What’s your favourite track you can only find on 12”?
