    Dont bother even starting with records.
    No point these days.
    Of course you get all these vinyl purists but thats just a load of nonsense. Why buy a format that will deteriorate each time you use it? Why buy a format that is expensive and will cost you a fortune to get a decent collection? Why buy a format that is impossible to carry 50+ of ???

    Get a decent little laptop and ableton live and use mp3's or cd's.
    Or just get a couple of CD decks.

    Nothing better than turning up to DJ with just a small wallet of CD's haha.

    I'm off up to Rockness this weekend

    to DJ in the VIP tent and the Clash Arena (between bands)
    and aint I the smug bastard with a wee wallet of cd's lol.
    Last year there was guys who'd turned up to dj for like 45mins with a massive record bag full. Whats the point in lugging that around for the rest of the weekend?!

      Nothing wrong with learning on vinyl, but I agree that digital is the way to go...
