[Muzaq] Vinyl Sales Still Increasing – Even in the U.S.

Although the widespread availability of MP3s in the U.S. leaded to a decrease in CD sales, the sales of vinyls are still increasing thru the last years. In 2011 vinyl sales went 37% up in the U.S.

In Germany the situation is different. The CD still gets sold very well. Market researchers suspect that the complicated copyright situation in Germany is responsible for legal mass downloads being established much slower than in the U.S.

The video is bilingual german/english. Enjoy.

[Muzaq] Dope DJ’s from Paris: Birdy Nam Nam

Everybody knows what DJ’s do: putting vinyl on the turntables an mix tracks into each other. This is basically the idea of DJing. The four guys Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need, and Little Mike (going under the name “Birdy Nam Nam”) are moving DJing at least one step beyond. They use their turntables more like instruments with not just mixing one track into another, they are mixing sounds into new compositions. With their styles they won several prices like the DMC Technics World TEAM Price in 2002.

We strongly recommend to watch those videos to understand what they are doing. The first is pure fun, the second allows more technical insight, and the third video is just raving the crowd and surreptitious advertising for Apple. Enjoy and don’t forget to buy their albums. You still know what buying music means, don’t you?
