Getting to see him for the first time next saturday and can not wait!

wondering if he's still a strictly dubplate guy or if he's gone the CD route?

(like so many others...)

Everytime I've seen him it's been vinyl/dubplate.

There's a pic of him using CDJ's if I recall, which sort of puzzled me a little :/

Edit : No sorry that was fucking Benga.

Pretty sure I've seen both too. Every time I've seen Mala it's been plates, and together as well.

He's playing out here soon (San Francisco) - hopefully he'll smash it as usual. :D

Not that many will care but i decided to start using CDJ's and vinyls. As much as i love my acetate dubplate's recent events has made we realize that they don't cater for us anymore. :-): And no sound checking does not help before the next DJ! - Coki via facebook.

Its sad to see DJs who want to DJ vinyl being forced to DJ CDs because the venues/organisers don't carter for vinyl DJs anymore. Turntables in venues now are just really expensive things to place CD wallets/phone ect. on.

What I don't like is the fact that this music is, for the most part, sound system music. I always thought vinyl and sound systems went hand in hand.. I guess not anymore :(

Yeah this is crap. How is it too much to maintain a pair of 1200's at each good venue?

This is a three way street (keeping 1200's on hand)
- if you own/book the venue, it's nice to be able to offer the choice to your performers;
- if you're a performer, make sure NOT to spill beer, ash on, or in any other way damage the decks (a common problem according to bookers I know.)
- Finally, if you're paying to see a performer in a venue, be sure to A) let them know that you appreciate the vinyl, and B) don't bump the decks, set shit on them, etc.

also:

the decks are not a resting place for your cd wallet.

i dont put my record case on your cdj so i expect you to treat the decks the same.
