I am saddened by this. Turntablism is definitely on its way out of the club... Any views??? (if this thread has already been posted apologies)

I bagged serato in January and too be honest it doesn't do it for me. Yes it cheaper and convenient but i don't get excited about mixing as much anymore. Tunes have become pretty much worthless. With a vinyl you bagged it because you loved it and you wanted to play it. A 99p mp3 can sit on my desktop and I might never spin it. My passion for it has decreased.
Wheres the excitement of release dates and waiting for the postman or going on an excursion to a not so local record shop to buy a physical product. I understand the whole club argument and yeah a lot of places turntables are shockingly bad which is a terrible shame.
Don't even get me started about digital shopping. At least with vinyl there is some quality control about what gets put up for sale. It seems any old badger can record a fart and put that up for sale on beatport these days. 99% of the stuff on there is amazingly poor.
I still bag a fair few vinyls but nowhere near as much.
I salute everyone that keeps the format going.
Digital sucks but sadly it's the way forward.
I hated it at first. I hit a wall at 6 months now i love it. There's shit loads of wicked tunes out there if you don't mind wading through tons of shit. Nothing like shopping for tunes at 5 in the morning imo...
Nothing beats the thrill of a record through the post
mmm what with clubs not looking after the 1210s (or not even having them) it's easy to see why the last vinyl DJs would go digital
so i think its really cool if Serato and such are keeping 1210s in use
interestingly, on the last Hospital podcast, London Elektricity was talking about how he's sticking to vinyl and is not going to accept bookings unless they have working Technics, which is awesome
