Everyone’s in lockdown so that means there is a pool of talent invading our phones(licks lips),the likes of Carl cox,judge jules,the oldskool djs from back in the day to fatboy slims daughter.Anyway I’m a little disappointed in some of the famous djs,they seemed to have ditched they’re vinyl(most of them)and have been using controllers,even though they are cool I just think they should of put some effort in like turning on they’re turntables would have loved to have seen them spinning the vinyl they once used to do when we raved our tits off and another thing,the audio quality as been crap(most of them),they have just placed a phone in front of speaker on pressed live.Expected more.Opinions ?

They will still have their vinyl, just easier to cart around hard drives and pen drives.

I seen Carl Cox playin vinyl last week.. he said his collection is 150,000!
He wasn’t really mixin but playin classics he grew up with, eg some disco n electro but nice stuff
Also seen slipmat playin all sorts of stuff but no hardcore, many cheesey things like strike but just havin fun n were using CDJ.. he did a lil bit scratchin in a CDJ n few newer Housey type remixes.
Personally love to see the old guys using vinyl and reckon they have a great chance if it’s there own set up but for many it’s no longer for them. If they are using something else be nice if they actually do something that makes you appreciate there skill or knowledge given their experience.
That’s said it’s all about the music so as long as they are having fun or giving something back its all good

Yeah I seen coxy, good to see him using his vinyl again, I watched a docco about him few yr bk, he said he had to have a shipping container just for his records when he moved to oz, but Im sure he said he still has loads in the uk aswell
Tbh id like to see how some of the big names who have moved from vinyl to other formats and see how they compare to the folks who have stayed on the vinyl over the yrs in their bedrooms...Now that would be a comp
we need a lockdown battle the pros verse no names

Some one on YouTube was interviewing graeme park and that's pretty much what he said it's a lot easier to carry round USB stick over vinyl and his preference is to use CDJs and he said he didn't think the older house was better than newer house he said something on the lines of looking forward.

Here is the interview.
I personally have no experience of using hi end cdj's so can make no comment on them. Am sure the hi end ones are fun to use.

I tell you who I would like to see on the radio is Derrick Carter god that man can mix 
He can do some amazing mixes his mixing is out of this world.
I have never heard anyone mix as good as him he never stops mixing and does a good job of it.
He does such long mixers and its on vinyl... well the stuff i had heard.
You don't hear him mention on here as he is a USA DJ... and he plays a lot of later house and very banging house.
even his 95 set I have heard sound like it was done a lot later.

I saw John Digweed playing live on Mixcloud what looked like 1210's to me, but it was very dark he was just amazing, blew my mind his mixing was perfect
Tallpaul was on their as well but he was playing on cdj's what looked like a party somewhere, his set was not great but looked like he was having fun and talking on the mic.

Yes i concur .. Sticks can carry a shit load of tunes .. Things change with that ... Wider range of tunes with way too many shitty remakes of classics for a start ... Personally i'd like to see the the DJ return back to carrying a bag/trolley thingymajig ... limiting what they have brought to the table but really thought out what they brought ...
