Not to mention his gigs are usually at music festivals/raves and so he can mix. Been listening to Kentaro’s recent mixes and he loves electro house and drum ‘n bass in his mix.

I know this is an old article but I haven’t read Tofugu in a while so I’m catching up.
Before I even opened and started reading this article, I had a feeling it’s an article about DJ Kentaro. He’s a dope guy. But in his more recent gigs and events, he’s been using DVS systems. In other words, digital versions of ‘vinyl’ recrods plugged into a laptop. You’ve probably heard of Serato. Yup, it’s that. He can still mix and scratch similar [if not same, people can argue] as vinyl but he’s been using that lately.

Great article :]

I live in Malaysia, and all the vinyl stores have closed down except for one.

It depends where you live. There are also a lot of vinyl retailers in my town, but other places aren’t so lucky. Even if you do have a place that sells you vinyl, a lot of vinyl production facilities have closed down over the years, so vinyl can’t be produced as quickly nor in as great a quantity.

Closed down? There are at least two that I know of off the top of my head in my neighborhood (one of them is huge too) and plenty more around town and I don’t even buy vinyl.
