Deep dives

The allure of vinyl records

Vinyl records carry a unique charm and ritual that digital music lacks. The process of carefully placing a vinyl record on a turntable and gently setting the needle requires time and attention. Dropping a vinyl record can lead to a terrible ripping sound, potentially ruining cherished songs. Vinyl records, made from materials like decomposed plants, have an almost magical quality, with grooves on either side creating audio that captures the imagination. DJs skilled in starting a song at any point on a record take pride in their precise timing and expertise.
