Press release from DC:


The Move from Vinyl to CD

"After some time (I wanted to move to CD in 1997) I have finally got a
machine that I believe is sonically and technically up to the job of
replacing the hallowed and much loved 1210. I was originally asked to
demo the Technics CD deck in New York at the beginning of the year but I
didn't have the space in my calendar, however after finally getting my
hands on one I have concluded that I will now switch over to CDs in the
short term, this will take some time and allow me to road test the
machine in clubs. Initially I will bring my own, but would appreciate
any promoters that read this and have budget to either hire or buy, to
supply 2-3 of them, eventually my technical rider will change and any
one with questions can send either an email to my office or speak to my
road manager direct. Please note that Pioneer/Denon or other makes of CD
decks will not be used, furthermore technical 1210s will still be needed.

I know some of you flat earthers will be upset, but whilst I love vinyl
its time has been written on the wall for ages and I felt that Final
Scratch and Albeton live wasn't for me in terms of interface and sound
quality (although some djs have their own valid and difference
opinions). In my mind at the moment the pros outweigh the cons, it will
speed up the both mine and other producers music to clubs (being cheaper
for smaller labels/artists), the bass frequencies will be fatter and
stereo (in non bridged systems), the flexibility in mixing techniques
not available to vinyl (and some computer systems ) are exciting, and it
uses a standard that is already tried and tested. The only cons that I
can think of are slower load up time than vinyl and inability of titling
each CD with vdu outlet to a central LCD. I believe these are not
unsurmountable problems.

I must also say that this is an entirely professional decision, I am not
sponsored by this company.

Finally............
Notice to promo/record companies and artists:
Please from now on can you send both vinyl and CD of all singles/albums
that you feel suit the material that I play out e.g.: Novamute, Ruskin,
inigo Kennedy, Victim, end2end, twilight, 76, turbo, Birmingham Boys,
DiskoB, Gigolo, electrix etc. etc. etc. Can all CDs please be labelled
clearly as cdrs without writing/print can easily be lost, also please
dont forget to finalize, and if it has been professionally mastered
please label production copy. Only 16bit 44.1 will be played, mp3 will
be ignored. Finally, if you can afford to, than please send any back cat
on CD if you know I have been a fan!

Many many thanks
Dave Clarke"
