She's amazing, always has been. Shes not one for long drawn out mixes, she just plays the right tune at the right time.
There is something quite intoxicating about watching someone playing vinyl. The techniques, nuances and idiosyncrasies are so different for each individual. It is mad how she turns her hand and flicks her finger to slow the record down.
I am all for digital mixing formats. There is just so much more from a creative pov that can be done on a controller and laptop, in comparison to vinyl. But from a dj's point of view, it is just so much more enjoyable playing vinyl. It will never be beaten. I am not one for saying it was better in my day, I like advances in technology. Yet mixing records on turntables is so much more pleasurable than just pressing a button.
Mixing vinyl has become a bit of a dying art and it has developed a bit of an aura around. It is very rare to see it in a club or bar these days. Most places don't even have turntables any more. I hope the Jedi knights of the DJ world manage to keep it going for a while yet.
