A vinyl exponent at heart, Simon Slieker keeps an eye to the horizon, which has seen him invest heavily in the emergent dj technologies of the digital domain. Yet year 2013 saw a polar shift. A trend from the boutique artists and labels toward limited press, vinyl only releases, giving the medium a potent shot in the arm. A refreshing alternative to the ubiquitous, universally available and often disposable, rank of digital files. This has proved too hard for Slieker to resist, inspiring a re-energized vinyl focus. Meaning:
“…a return to the essence of what made me a great dj in the first place, my capacity to relate to the dance floor through my relationship with the medium. I love the exposition and the art of playing vinyl. My body memory understands it, and in the tactile truth of its physicality, I am fully engaged in a feedback of loop of music, time, people, place and me.”
