LOL.
i ain't all that mad really that vinyl isn't around anymore, but more at the fact that everyone thinks their a DJ now.
oh well, not my repsonsibility anymore.

Yeah, you are right about that. Just like everybody thinks they are a producer, or a rapper now too. Technology just made it easier for clowns to make fools of themselves.
But, the thing about dance Dj's is that in the states you can get away with the bullshit. Overseas where people care about good Dj's you can't. In Miami during the Winter Music Conference fake Dj's get no love.
Overseas is the only market that matters. Be a DJ. A good one and get the love. I'm sure if you started booking prime international gigs your love for it would come back.
