Any DJ's in the house?
Discussion
Not of the mobile disco/pub kareoke type either. 
I mess around with Trance, Hard House and Hard Dance, and more and more frequently, Dubstep and Drum and Bass.
I dont own any equipment at the moment, but wanting to get a technics/pioneer vinyl cd combo at some point soon. Either that or just the numark NS7..
Anyway, who are you and what do you spin?

House/ Prog (of all varieties including trance)/ Tech DJ here... I started out more into hard dance/ trance, but as lot of DJ mates of mine seem to concur... the older you get, the slower the groove you're into! 
Damn. I need to grow up! 37 here and listening to this kind of thing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzT8Xw6xu_o
You'll know what i mean.

Real DJs do it with vinyl.
DJs - unfairly prejudiced towards a single medium of storing music - do it with vinyl.DJing is about music. It doesn't matter whether the music is stored on a big black circle, a small silver circle, or as a magnetic shadow on an even smaller circle (hard drive!). It all sounds the same when it comes out of the speakers, with equal ability to get the crowd on their feet and dancing.
FWIW, I do still DJ mainly with vinyl... timecode vinyl on the Traktor Scratch system. It gives me the 'feel' I want (yep, gotta admit, love mixing manually old skool style), with the convenience of having my records in a rapidly searchable format on the laptop, plus effects / loops and such if I want them.
Before the "vinyl sounds better" argument is rolled out in favour of this format... vinyl does sound 'different' but 'better' is subjective. Certainly the sound is more bass heavy and 'warm' than digital formats but whether this is better than the crisper, cleaner sound of digital is a matter of taste. Its like having an argument about whether diesel or petrol is better... oh.... hang on.... forgot this is Pistonheads...
Oh, and vinyl does sound better imo. But with digital decks or cd's you can have alot more control over how you play. I still have around 400 vinyls, and i would never get rid of them, and as such i will buy buying another set of 'decks' before buying cd decks. A little USB numark might be making an appearence in my collection sometime soon though.
Anyone care to share pics of their collections and set-ups?
