Who knows what I am up to?
I`m certainly looking into new methods and means of everything.
Will DirtyBass go entirely CD yet?
No, as the infrastructure isn`t there yet, but as soon as it is, then yes it will, of course.
I really do wish it was on Cd because I hate the fact that when you make music, you have to struggle with the vinyl engineer to get the cut sounding vaguely close to the sound you made.
Vinyl has survived for so long, because there simply wasn`t anything to replace it that you could manipulate effectively. there is now, and in another year, the technology will leap again, and we will have really good analogue/digital interfaces for manipulating digital audio.
Hopefully the cost will also come down.

This is all by the by though. The slow death of vinyl is only part of the process of the change of music as a business. The nature of how music is listened to and transported is changing so radically now.
One of the major downfalls of the dowload/ipod age is the death of the album, and this is really scaring major artists.
Because rather than parting with the cash for the whole album, people are just downloading the tracks they want. Unfortunately some albums are a work of art meant to be played from start to finish.
But this is all happening, and it is change we must embrace. The kids of today all walk around with tunes on their ipods and mobiles, and that is just how it is.
I`m an old ****er and I find change difficult, but I am also into techno both musically and philosophically and it has allways been about the "new" and the future.

John, your shunning of technology is a bit odd (I bet you use effects though right?), you seem to think that unless you are touching vinyl every 5 seconds then you are lazy?
If beatmatching is all you do when you play records it must be very boring.
Auto beatmatching means you can do MORE not less, becuase you have more time to play around and concentrate on the mixing rather than the beat-matching.

This is actually making me chuckle now, cos people are taking htis personally, and just defending old methods, rather than suggesting new methods.
