ABSTRACT
A FEW YEARS AGO, PIONEER RELEASED THE CDJ-1000,
AND DJS BEGAN TOYING WITH THE IDEA OF PLAYING
CDS. ERM, WEDDING DJS, THAT IS.
In sweaty hip-hop joints and on the dirty, dirty
dancefloors of Europe, walking into a club armed
with a box full of CDs was a death sentence for your
DJ reputation. CDs may have sounded better, you
might have been able to manipulate them more
thoroughly than records, and they may have
promised many a DJ a future without an S-shaped
spine, but dropping a digital tune was seen as a
direct affront to the great god Vinyl.
