Purely by coincidence, while I was driving to the studio I got a call from Blame saying he was in the area and coming to pay a visit, so once he arrived I got him to sign the two 12″s and we did as well.

If you you want one of these two signed records just post any comment you want under this Facebook photo and on Monday (28/3/2011) I’ll randomly pick two of you to send a copy to.

It’s a stark choice facing those of us who still like to play vinyl. Do we turn up and grit our teeth, try and turn in the best technical performance we can even though the set-up may be leagued against us? It may mean substandard mixing, and may often mean that we can’t play the tunes we have cut, (as plates are more sensitive to jumping than vinyl, especially as they get a bit older)…all of which is, at best, unsatisfying and at worst, embarrassing. Not to mention unfair to the people who have paid money to come and hear you play.

Personally, I don’t give a damn what people choose to mix their music. I’m only a purist insofar as my own preferences go. CD, laptop, vinyl, memory sticks; whatever…It’s all fine by me, but I don’t like the feeling that I’m being forced out of the thing that I enjoy playing and into another medium.

I was hoping that the rise of Serato would encourage clubs to start maintaining their decks a little better, but I still see laptop DJs struggling as much as vinyl DJs which is a real shame.

The reason for making this follow-up post is that I was just chatting to Utah Jazz, another staunch vinyl player, and these were some of his comments…

Am going through a bit of a change at the moment and thinking about ditching vinyl to do CD only sets.
I did nearly 70 gigs last year and the quality of the Technics decks at most places is getting really bad. Have non stop problems trying to use them!

Playing plates which just skip the whole time (seems like the decks are never checked properly by the clubs). So means I need to start getting all the Old Skool that I want to play in mp3!
I hate it cos I love vinyl and always have done but even the big clubs these days can’t seem to get the decks right.

It’s so annoying. And I’ve really seen the difference in the last 6 months… To the extent that I can’t seem to do a set on vinyl anywhere without the decks or the needles fucking up.
I probably only saw 2 or 3 other ‘big’ DJs playing any vinyl at all last year so the decks just get left to gather dust

It’s just been a shift over the last 2 years and now I’ve had enough. Playing Paris and Berlin this week and might just travel with CDs!

I still cut plates of my own stuff but more and more have just been combining them with either classics on vinyl or newer unreleased stuff played from CD…
It’s been a passionate affair for the last 17 years but sometimes you’ve just gotta let things go!

So, promoter & club owners, over to you…

Part 2 of the Natural History Remixes is in all good stores right now on vinyl and mp3, featuring reworkings from Klute, Stray and Kastle.

By the Time My Light Reaches You I’ll Be Gone (Klute remix) – Vinyl & digital
If I Could Tell You (Stray remix) – Vinyl & digital
Nobody Here (Kastle remix) – digital only

Klute’s turned in a bongo-frenzy version of ‘By The Time My Light Reaches You I’ll Be Gone’ while Stray has transformed ‘If I Could Tell You’ into one of the best grooves we’ve heard in ages. Meanwhile, dubstep wonder kid Kastle has done what he does best and dragged ‘Nobody Here’ into some lo-slung gangster boogie territory.
