<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A lot of people don't realize the records people
like Cut Chemist and Numark have. These are REAL rare 45s and original
breaks/beats that are just way hard to come by. Now, if you factor in the fact
that they travel a lot and risk losing them in flight, getting damaged while
traveling, or just getting burned by playing too much....you now have a REASON
behind the fact some DJs will use (especially the new) cd turntables. Of
course...you COULD go by Shadow's philosophy: records are meant to be
played...burnout shouldn't be an issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, as it has already been said, people like Mark
Farina will test a track out on a crowd via CD-R, and other DJs will play
unreleased tracks because nobody else has 'em. Is this a progression? I think
so...I mean, you can drop a track few others have, and isn't that one reason we
all go to see the bigger DJs who've got access to stuff that's not available to
the general public?</FONT></DIV>

<P>I'm not a dj, but I'm not actually horrified by the thought of cd mixers
being worked into the culture. I think any tool that can be used to help
our music progress, but I think it needs to stay out of the spotlight.
If a dj wants to use a cd mixer for different effects or because
there's a track they want that's not available on vinyl, then why the hell
not? I'm all about evolution. There's no reason for us to remain
stagnant because we're stubborn, but I think tradition stands for
something....That is all.
<P>Peace.

the Horrific article in URB about CutChemist and Numark. The quotes from

don't <BR>have to hurt my hard to find records etc." To me vinyl is the only
way to go, <BR>unless you are testing a new track for floor reaction before
you press it to <BR>vinyl or other similar tasks. Lets not make this CD
