[jon connor]

wen you people gunna realise cdjs are the new turntables whether we like it or not, so why not graspe this new market with forget your mp3 bollox download an release a god dam cd single an get the rewards u deserve. and also mp3 a about 2 months after your cd release ahh i dunno its just a progression in my eyes .

we supposed to be techno the furure oh well the future is now cumon WAKE UP AN SMELL DA COFFEE

ok mp3 was the start because its fresh oh my god i can get tracks instantly bollox i want an ep if i cant have vynyl i want a cd with my fav label artist wotever its the future of distro an u no it u just aint realised it yet.
if u wanna get up to date with 2009 people the do wot im telling ya.

why sell out and put your tracks out for pennys aye ? there is enough people who pay for your good work outta respect ok 1 word TECHNO future god damm techno cummon

[jon connor]

STOP giving your tracks out willy nilly u lot are only relaxing with the easy, so listen make your cd single ep like it used to be with vynyl , going to the record shop and getting somthing you no your mates dont av WOW FACTOR vynyl aint gunna be around forever as much as i love it so i see this idea as the new vynyl bollox to mp3 its only the start of digital to easy and taken away your love of going to a record shop and gettin somthing RARE bring that back through this format and stop making it to easy THAT IF YOU ARE TECHNO GROW SUM BOLLOX GET WITH THE PROGRAMM mp3 is the be end all because you are lettin it.

Calm down jon... jeeeeeeez.

I understand what you are saying jon, i just dont agree with most of what you say.

[gunjack]

has anybody seen what dj shadow does with these things on the on time and in tune dvd? SICK

[RDR]

No doubt those babies are a wicked bit of kit. I've used them extensively as have loads of people.

One thought occurs, i wonder how global warming will affect CDs? When materials are in short supply.

[gunjack]

yea CD is a shitty, delicate, fosil based medium that is on the way out, but those babies (the pioneers)have some dope features... and not everybody is using digital flash drives etc yet so why not enjoy it while it lasts

[jon connor]

hhahahhah phew went a bit ment up there sory rdr man phewww hahahah peace, na just a thought for guys out there for new boundries to break yea man, kids younlings god dam jedis upcoming new formats of ep release , mp3 should stay on an ipod hahahahah wav format ep cd single , wots left when vynyl has finally discontinued, is techno not preshious enough to do that ? or you wanna slack out wit the mp3 lazy ass way shiffting your tracks, alls i wanna say is take pride in your work init mate. still love vynyl tho im hangin on like the rest you guys, i would buy the vynyl over the cd anyday its just future terms im thinking dude.

exactly dj tools not ipod tools and also lets not forget the distrubuters out there who have my maximum respect isint this a way to keep them in buisness ? future long term i mean before we see the end of vynyl.

distro deserve maximum respect an i think people should be looking for ways to keep them in bisiness not kill them when vynyl is dusted after all they are the guys who put your work to the world DONT SHIT ON THEM they are the people who keep the techno ball rollin.

Im sorry jon, dont wanna rile you again chief, but having spoken to 4 or 5 major techno artists who would say exactly the opposite of that. 2 of them having lost upwards of 20,000 plus because of distributor mis-management. the stranglehold distros had on all dance music is really well documented - i would agree with you 100% if these distros had tried their very very best and worked for the interest of the artists. But they didnt. and its still going on today.

EDIT: perhaps im being a little negative here, im sure there are distros out there who on top of making money also want to push good music, music they love and feel part of.

[gunjack]

the good ones last, the greedy go the way of jel ford and tony vierra chingen a su madre

[clubsynthetic]

to cd or not to cd? that is the question...

[jon connor]

well when we av no vynyl to spin in the future , i would prefer a cd, im not really into the idea of the flash disk plugged straight into cdj, which we all no is comming next.

so for me man its a yes to cd.

buy the way my 666 cd arrived this morning 23 single wav tracks by 2 of my fav artist andreas kramer an thomas pogadl, do you no how much i paid £11.00 plus £1.50 post " HOW HAPPY AM I " Im bloddy exstactic hahahaha happy days with tracks like those you certainly need the wav for maximum output on the system.

I fail to see how (from a usability standpoint) plugging a USB key into a deck is any worse than sliding a CD in. Dance music is made on computers and it has never seemed logical to dither it down and release it on a medium like CD. For me, the interface is the important part - I prefer a platter of some sort to adjust mixes (though I have often used a keyboard with Traktor, manually beatmatching everything using arrow keys. piece of piss.).

I will always miss the packaging of dance music, but this day and age calls for less waste, not more. Let's strip it right down to a high quality FLAC file and sell direct to the people.

With digital files, you get clarity beyond vinyl and even CD. What intrigues me is that labels like SUF are still holding out on the vinyl front. I appreciate that they are hardcore vinyl supporters, but it seems like the UK underground has struggled for years with pressing and distro. I wish they would start selling proper digital files and maybe make their lives a bit easier.

Oops, went off a tangent there.

[jon connor]

yea good point mabey its just me i like thing to be round hahahhaha na i love vynyl man love it and untill i cant buy it no more i will continue to use it.

just for now wilst cdj are used intensly mabey releasing some cd singles could be an advantage ?

they seem to sale a fare few on that juno and stuff........ i dunno im all confused now . i will try this next year until the flash thing comes along.
