By now the debate between digital and vinyl DJs as to which format is superior has probably reached a truce. After all, both formats have been around long enough to show that there’s enough space for them to happily coexist. But when it comes to the question of digital or vinyl, what’s still very much true is that DJs have strong preferences. For some, vinyl represents the purest form of the craft—hands-on, tactile, and deeply connected to the roots of DJ culture. Others embrace digital DJing for its flexibility, convenience and creative tools. But beyond the surface differences between vinyl and digital, there are characteristics that can actually wind up shaping a DJ’s coreidentity. From mixing techniques to music discovery, audience perception and performance style, vinyl and digital each impact a DJ’s style in unique ways. Whether you’re weighing up which path to take or simply curious about how they compare, understanding these key differences can highlight what you value when itcomes to DJing and even music in general.
