Vinyl single sales push past 1m mark first time in a decade

yeah it blows my mind when people spend money on cds

regular vinyl albums tend to be cheaper anyway

white stripes - elephant cd was around 11.99, the vinyl was like 18.99

but who cares bout the whites stripes

i dunno man, in my experience dancehall 7" 45's are really bassy cause the disc moves faster than it would at 33 = more sonic info. i have a few that are boomy as hell.

ah.
i am working off limited experience. also i read singles were put on 12" asa way to get subbass that wouldnt fit otherwise.
anyone have any other info on this?

7s are the dogs bollocks, the crackle and the fuzz add to the warmness. Bashment/Dub just doesnt sound right when its clean and crisp.

while it is possible to blend records and even do a bit of scratching on products such as final scratch and serato, there is one one thing that will keep the vinyl market for hiphop going for a long time:

hiphop

more specifically, turntablism

people are way too into juggling records and doing things like that to be bothered to set it up all on serato. i think as long as battle records are being pressed up, turntablist competitions like itf and dmc are still going strong like they are, then vinyl will be around for a while.

I saw Dj A-Trak this weekend in NYC, he was rocking serato. There were big screens all on stage with the cameras directly on the tables. When A-Trak was juggling with serato, he was kinda cheating. The juggles so he could just let the record play, scratch when he had to, the let the record continue. There was no pulling back to the sample as if he was using regular records.

Its cool if you use serato, but dont cut corners like that, cause all the regular fuckers there wouldent really know the difference.
