There is no escaping the digital revolution as burning mp3s to CD move in and vinyl begins to move out, but Radio 1's D&B DJ Fabio is a man that prides himself on cutting dubs. It's a serious issue for him, something which he feels very strongly about:

"The way I look at it, if I pick up a pack of CDs I don't feel like I'm going to work. I feel like I'm just going out to have a piss about to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's a cheaper option but when we were growing up, you saved your last penny to cut a dub, and I find it funny when people say...'ahh it's expensive'...its not that much more expensive than it was 12 years ago and you know, we survived it, you would spend your last penny on getting dubs cut and now you can burn something on a CD. I have seen big DJs do it and fair dos to them, because I would play a CD if I haven't got time to cut it, but for my whole set to be played from CD- I'm not in it, I need to feel that I have got my record box to carry, that's got 60 dubs in there that weigh 23kg, almost breaking my back carrying it, because its work innit."

All in all, Fabio doesn't mind if DJs play CDs but the problem comes in the morality of it all when a big DJ, getting paid copious amounts of cash, plays a whole set of CDs.

Moreover, when the crowd fail to recognize who you are all because you have turned up with a CD pouch rather than a record bag, that's not a good look!

"People are like, where's the DJ? Where is he? You walk into a club with a record bag, everyone knows it you, if you're carrying you record box there's no mistaking it, but you walk in with a CD pouch and you could be anybody. You could just turn round and say I'm Fabio you know, it's just taking away the real meaning behind the music. But I can turn round and say this and it doesn't mean anything cuz in five years time there could be no vinyl anymore and we've gotta be prepared for the change, because that's the way technology is going anyway."
