Sun, 30 Dec 2012Regardless of sound quality in the current state, this is ridiculously badass. I mean, I remember thinking it was badass to be able to play an LP and record it onto a cassette, so perhaps I'm easily impressed. Even if I am, this is just merely scratching the surface of something that could be BIG. Can't wait to see where this technology eventually leads!

Mon, 24 Dec 2012While it's at the infantile stage, it could be promising in the long run. I wonder how long but won't lose sleep or waste too many 0's & 1's over this one. Like many things, the initial stage looks unpromising but given the real status & upkeep of lathes, this could be very promising if it evolves to the point where it exceeds/corrects some of vinyl's accepted flaws, limitations and they get it really right.

Sun, 23 Dec 2012Its an experiment, Jesus. Imagine how much 3d printers will improve within the next decade (especially considering how much they have improved in the last) - some serious implications for being able to 'print' your own dubplates at home on the cheap. Pointless, I think not.

The Diversions 1994-1996 and Dutch Tvashar Plumes producer puts together a mix of "raw, percussive 4/4... head-wrecking edits, jagged hooks, off-kilter programming and eerie, abstract breakdowns" for FACT.

The Miami club has extended their "most sincere apologies" to DJ Shadow after he was told to stop playing last weekend.

We're unsure what "13" even is at this stage—but check out these far-out visuals nonetheless.
