A digital DJ has today been forced to the drastic measure of commandeering a whole entire drawer to his his massive record collection.
The move, which has seen the 25-year-old DJ Hermione Blake move the records from “their usual spot leaning against the side of [her] mixing desk”, has been heralded as timely by Hermione’s mother who claims that the records were “making the room looks likea pig sty”.
Hermione, who is reportedly making the move from digital to vinyl, has described herself as an avid collector boasting tens of titles ranging across such diverse genres as techno and minimal techno.
“It’s important when your collection grows as large as mine does that you find somewhere adequate to store them,” advised Hermione, clad in lenseless glasses and half sleeve tattoos. “Under the bed just isn’t going to cut it anymore, there’s too many, they need their own storage facility – like a drawer or maybe even a mid sized box.”
The young DJ who claims she “cut her teeth on Traktor” before making the move to vinyl because “everyone else was doing it” says that she expects her collection to continue to grow and cause her storage headaches.
“It’s not all fun and games collecting vinyl,” she continued. “I’ve had to find somewhere else to store my underwear and socks. They’re now in the second drawer with my tee shirts and trousers I wear around the house – it’s confusing to keep track of it all.”
“I could still fit my socks in the drawer with the vinyl but it just doesn’t look right,” she added.
“If the collection continues to grow at this rate eventually I’ll have to start looking into a more long term storage solution,” she concluded, “like maybe using a second drawer, or keeping the ones I use most in my flight case and the rest in the first drawer, I don’t know, it’s just a problem I’ll have to overcome as a serious vinyl collector.”
“If it keeps being an issue I’ll just burn the tracks onto mp3s and sell the records,” she added.
