Vinyl sucks. Nothing compares to the sound of a hard drive clicking away as you listen to your immense collection of mp3s AND OGG Vorbis files. Vinyl is for losers. Anyone who's told you to go with a pair of SL1200MK2 turntables isn't worth anyone's time. So get with the program. Follow the revolution and remain in awe at the magnificent number crunching salvation to the new school DJ, the omnipotent mp3.
BTW, software kicks hardware's ass any day of the week.

Spacetime Continuum - Emit Ecaps - 07-Sep-08 09:16 PM
Frankly this album is amazing. It's really that good. Honestly, the amount of creativity and effort that went into every track shows. Attempts to simplify the genre descriptions for this album as triphop, ambient, detroit techno, DnB, progressive house, breaks, etc. would be insulting. This album is a well constructed amalgam of beautiful patterns and atmospheres. It almost possesses a fragrant elegance that intoxicates the listener. It has the ability to easily overwhelm both the auditory and olfactic senses... A pleasant Vertigo takes over.
K-Scope (2) - The K-Scope Project Part 2 - 03-Apr-07 11:14 AM
If you're going to consider grabbing this then it should be for "Planet K". The other tracks are OK but this one track ebbs and flows on beautiful pads, a smooth keyboard "carpet" and a with very jazz-influenced flute riff. It reminds me of Frankie Knuckles' - The Whistle Song, but in it's own unique way. And, the percussive beat/breakdown near 2/3rds of the song is a very nice touch. Oh, so nice...
Dave Spoon - Sunrise EP - 01-May-06 12:17 PM
This EP is simply badass. The B2 track is dominated by the hook "Regeneration" and underlined by a breakbeat sample that is looped and further emphasized with a classic 4/4 house beat. The use of filters also helps to intensify the breakdowns. If this doesn't get your dancefloor jumpin' then your crowd is deaf and dumb.
The two remaining tracks are also killer cuts that are far from being fillers. This pressings is an absolute must for the house DJ.
Gonno - Hammersmith EP - 24-Apr-06 03:09 PM
IMHO, this album is very much influenced by the artist 69 (Carl Craig). The year 1995 stuck out in my head as I listened to each track. When I say 1995 I mean timeless, way ahead of it's time! I believe both tracks on side B and the first track of side A pay great respect to Craig's masterful work over a decade ago. It's a real pleasure to hear these tracks. Wonderful!
Cutting Records - 19-Mar-06 03:51 AM
Cutting Records has been a large distributor of both latin freestyle, electro and house from the 1980s and into early 1990s. It has showcased numerous artists who defined electronic music within the New York City backdrop. Some of the most prolific artists such Masters At Work, Nitro Deluxe, Giggles, etc. maintained a hugh following in the clubs as a result of Cutting Records' success.
On a personal level I looked forward to collecting some of the best latin freestyle and house pressings from Cutting Records. This label was also graced by the mastering prowess of the infamous Herbie Powers, Jr.
