Welcome & Vinyl Sucks!

Thanks for clicking... I have just decided to create 2 separate blogs, as with the weekly tracklists my other blog gets a bit full, so you can't easily see the more personal stuff when it's in there.

So.. I just wanted to say 'Helloo' and that I will be writing more blogs in here when some exciting things happen! Right now I'm just working hard getting some press-packs sent out to promoters and selling my vinyl collection... bloody dusty heavy, bulky things!

Even though I started playing vinyl in 1994, I really don't miss playing it at all. A lot of purists will find that offensive, but it's the truth! And it doesn't make me any less of a DJ either. Pioneer CDJ1000's are fabulous things compared to a Technic 1200... You still mix the same on them, but you can do so much more (and no, they don't beatmatch for you, silly!). Now I play CDs I don't have to rely on someone to help me into the club with a weighty record bag... Who cares that the quality of MP3s isn't as good - at least there's no snap crackle & pop with CDs!

Death to vinyl!! All you DJs who are clinging on to the past, you need to keep up with technology or you'll be left behind! They won't be allowed to make vinyl for much longer, with all these silly EU save-the-planet directives.

Oh, but I do hope there are at least some DJs clinging onto the past or I'll there'll be no-one to buy my collection on ebay ;o)

Axx
