Vinyl

So as new technology evolves, old technology become obsolete! There is no better example of this than in the DJ industry. When I first started DJ'ing I would drag the heaviest box of records around the streets of the UK just to have a selection of 50 track in a set. Now i literally have 100 times that on my USB keyring at all times!!

So what happens to the vast collection of records I gained over years? eBay? I could NEVER do that! Each record holds so much sentimental value, and even as a self confessed 'digital DJ' now, there is nothing quite like the warm analogue pops and crackles of dropping the needle into the wax grooves.

Each week i will be digging out one old gem from my extensive collection of dusty old records ranging from oldskool rave, happy hardcore, hard house, hardstyle, even to the extremes of gabber, to get my acetate fix!!

First up I have one of my proudest records in my collection, an original white label promo pressing of the bassline classic from the original dust masked ravers from the 90's Altern8 with "Infiltr8 202". Feel free to leave a comment with any suggestions, and I look forward to crate digging to try and find it by my fading mental image of the sleeve artwork!
