Old school DJ mixes on gramophones (Video)
A DJ is proving he doesn't need the latest technology to get the party going... by using two 1930s wind-up gramophones.DJ78, otherwise known as Dave Guttridge has become a hit with the in-crowd thanks to his classic gramophones and collection of 3,500 rare shellac records.
Dave has even performed at London and Paris fashion week with his eclectic selection of mixed ragtime, blues and big-band tunes.
Using his two Picnic gramophones he is able to mix the music so there is no gap when he changes records - something DJs with modern equipment do without thinking.
But there will be no scratching during his sets… the shellac records - made from the shell of the shellac beetle - are much more brittle than vinyl and could break.
