Richie Hawtin reignites the Vinyl debate

Richie Hawtin strikes up discussion on Facebook as he sets the Digital versus Vinyl debate on fire. With over 400 comments in less than 12 hours, here is what he had to say;

" Is this "DJ" pulling records behind him? Is this Berlin 2011 or NYC/Detroit/Chicago 1988? How far we've come and how little we've progressed! "

What do you think? Has Richie lost touch with the very essence of DJing? Or should we all be striving to take technology further?
