Deejays und ihre Vorlieben: The Medium Is The Message

Kurze, liebevolle Doku der RBMA, die verschiedene DJs zur Frage Stellung nehmen lässt, welches denn ihr bevorzugtes Medium zum Arbeiten sei. Meine Antwort ist klar: Mein Herz schlägt mittlerweile gänzlich digital. Trotzdem mag ich jene, die immer noch am Vinyl hängen.

From dusty shellacs and tapes to 12” vinyl, CDR and mp3′s, countless storage formats have been hailed as the future of recorded sound – some of them going on to acquire cult status for their unique sonic and tactile qualities. The Red Bull Music Academy paid tribute to this evolution, and explored how each format has become emblematic (and indeed, defined the sound) of an era, via an exhibition and party with producers and DJs who used the unique playback technology they’ve made their signature. Watch Hatcha, Clams Casino, Greg Wilson, Hermanos Pizarro and journalist Joe Muggs discuss the storage of sound.
