| for ages I told myself I would never sell out to cds, I would always play vinyl, and for quite a few years I spent most of the money I acumulated on new tracks. The thing was, there were so so many tracks I wanted that just did not show up at my local record store. I ordered online a lot and that was even more expensive... Eventually I figured out, hey, this is ridiculous. My musical creativity as a dj is being hindered by how much money I spend on records! That's crazy - that was when I made the personal decision that, to me, the message is more important than the medium. If I want to express myself uniquely with as few limits as possible, I need better access to more music. So I signed up for beatport. It's for the best anyway because over 95% of the clubs in toronto don't even have techs, just cdjs. I had turned down gigs because they didn't have turntables. Now that was just silly. |
