As we continue to see the sales of CDs fall, it is obvious that the distribution channels of penalization are changing. But there is no disputing that digital downloads are the newborn “norm” for some people to take their music, be it one ninety-nine cent download or an whole album. As I ponder these changes, I still think that the radical record, as prehistoric as it is, is gaining popularity as well as making newborn fans and believers that this is the best audio info that can be heard.

As a radical lover, I am pretty ordered in my ways; no one has to convince me of the staying power and musical greatness of the radical record. So I was thrilled when I had a quantity to interview a young man who shares the same views as I do.

I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with a nineteen-year old radical lover from mythologist River, British Columbia, Canada named Steve Robertson; who was gracious enough to share his thoughts and views about this old, yet treasured format. What follows is a short discussion with Steve as he shared his passion and love for radical records.

I asked Steve what drew him to vinyl, why does he favour this audio format?

“Vinyl meet sounds so much better; it has a unique good that can’t be duplicated. There is a feeling of spirit when actually retentive a physical product. And the cover art, not only from the past, but from newborn artists, is another reason I favour radical records over any other format. I also get a sense of spirit in knowing that when I take an artist’s work on vinyl, that I am supporting the musicians who release it, it meet isn’t another free download,” explained Steve.

I asked Steve how long he has listened to radical and about what info his friends prefer.

“I hit been into radical for several years now and radical is huge in British Columbia and most of my friends favour it as well. We both like the clear good and experience you get when activity a record. And we are interested in DJ-ing, so it fits right in. Last assemblage I purchased a pair of Stanton turntables that hit certainly helped me in my DJ-ing efforts and I plan on upgrading very soon to take it to the next level. I love the control that I hit activity the penalization that people want to hear. The goal of a DJ is to take digit assorted songs and blend them together in a smooth seamless way without the gathering knowing. Taking elements of one record and blending them into the other, you can then skillfully mix out the first song until it is meet the newborn track playing. It’s like creating a newborn song and newborn penalization in a way. You make sure to keep up a steady stream, a continuous line of ups and downs, it’s like telling a story, you want to keep people intrigued and interested in the music,” said Steve.

“I really think that radical is coming back, it sure is in our area. If my friends and I had to pick, records would be our choice and the best choice to center our music. But, they are harder to acquire, our nearest radical shop is an hour and a half away, so we take most of our radical online.”

I asked Steve about his radical record collection and wanted to center more details about his passion for D J-ing.

“To the first part of your question, I would say that I hit over three hundred records, mostly classic rock like Zeppelin or Heart. But I hit about seventy-five records that would fall into the electronic dance genre. That is mostly what I play when I DJ because that is what the gathering I play for wants to hear. When you’re mixing records, the control you hit over the good and the way you can manipulate the penalization is meet like activity an instrument. You can blend and put effects on the penalization using your mixer or you can do some hands on scratching and add your own unique good to it. As far as scratching goes, it’s a whole newborn level of DJ’ing because, in a way you are creating a good that has never been heard before, it’s almost like live production,” explained Steve.

It was certainly refreshing to listen to Steve speak about his love for radical records. His life for the info was clearly evident and especially welcome to me, a radical purist. And we both agreed that whatever musical genre it is that you enjoy, it certainly sounds the best emanating from a radical record. And that is a perspective that will help the radical record survive, if not thrive.

I want to personally thank Steve for his cooperation and candor in regards to our discussion about radical records. It is pleasant to center someone from a assorted generation, not only passionate about the penalization that he listens to, but about the audio info that he chooses to listen to his music.
