When Amon Tobin rolled throught town last month, he rocked it with Final
Scratch (and so did Greyboy the month before that). I think I may have
been the only one in the audience who noticed that he never changed a
record during his whole set.
I think this approach (Final Scratch) makes tons of sense for touring
DJs. My vynil weighs a ton, and you still can't be sure that the clubs
you'll be playing will have adequate CD decks, especially if you're a
'tablist. But with Final Scratch, a laptop, two records -- you're set.
But seriously, blah blah blah Good music is good music.. blah blah blah.
(this from a guy who carts two 12's and a CDJ100 to his weekly
residency...+ a mixer + two crates)
