The 7" vinyl single, spinning at 45 RPM, has a long legacy in music history as the major format for record sales and radio play from the 1950s to the 1970s. Despite having a much shorter runtime than their 12" counterparts, these compact singles offered consumers a more cost-effective way to own music, or access their favourite hits via jukeboxes. Their popularity dwindled in the 1980s after the introduction of cassettes, CDs, and digital downloads but today, 7" vinyl, often referred to as 45s, are alive and well - celebrated by collectors, music enthusiasts, and DJs alike who appreciate the lifestyle, collectability, and tactile experience of playing them.
The resurgence of 45s culture is rooted in nostalgia. It harkens back to the analog era of vinyl DJing, with equal emphasis on curation and performance as a “crate-digger" mentality is needed to build a personal music collection, together with technical proficiency to mix in the absence of digital tools. As a refreshing departure and lo-fi approach to modern DJing, practitioners can flaunt their music knowledge and ability to acquire obscure gems, limited editions, and exclusive dubplates to make their performances unique. Furthermore, the current revival is activating many record labels, bootleggers, and pressing plants to meet demands by releasing current singles to 7" vinyl, as well as special re-edits, mashups, and re-releases of classics across funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, disco, and more.
The exponential growth of the 45s scene shows no signs of slowing down and is established more than ever as a lifestyle that values artistic expression, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Community-driven events and all-45s parties are continuing to pop up at record stores, outdoor festivals, and underground venues, with the culture setting trends online with content, social media, and livestreams. What makes this scene stand out is the commitment to the format, and with that comes its own set of tools and requirements. Many 7" vinyl require an adapter to accommodate their large centre holes, while many DJs also apply record weights to ensure tight contact with the platter, improving torque response, and reducing unwanted vibration or skipping when cueing and scratching. Existing DJ hardware (typically full sized turntables) have been used historically because there hasn’t been a dedicated professional solution for collectors or DJs to play and perform exclusively with 7" vinyl, until now...
