good music, no record player required

the dj world continues to shift more and more from vinyl to more digital technologies ... more and more djs are performing sets with cd decks, laptops, etc. cds are no longer just a tool for wedding djs. of course, some of us old dinosaurs are still lugging around 3 crates of vinyl and my back is not happy about it ... but these digital technologies still cannot reproduce the sound quality and depth of vinyl, in my opinion. despite the many advantages of walking to a gig with a laptop and a hard drive and/or a book of cds, i'm still waiting for the sound quality to improve. it's almost there, getting closer every day. give it a year or two.

and as bill cosby would say, i told you that story so i could tell you this one: more and more of the music i play is available to people that don't own a record player. i'm buying way less tunes nowadays, but there are still some tunes i need to have, and for the past few months, a lot of those tunes have been coming from marcus intalex and soul:r. if you've downloaded any of my recent drum'n'bass mixes then you've definitely heard a few of these tunes. it's some of the best drum'n'bass i've heard in years in my opinion, and i haven't heard intalex sound this good since the days of the classic releases on 31 records (how you make me feel, neptune, etc)

if you like it, you can buy it, some of this is available on CD. for now, you can get the DAT:Music CD , and coming soon you'll be able to get the Mist:i:cal LP "eleventh hour" , soon to be released. check the soul:r website for more info and updates on the release and check my recent mixes to hear some of the tunes.
