I've yet to see a dj playing LPs!
Dj's play 7'', 10'' or 12'' singles or EP's at 33 or 45 rpm. Used to be 
called "maxi singles" when we were young(er). The format was invented for 
dj's, just as Technics, Numark and other manufacturers make special 
turntables and cartridges and slipmats for dj's.

They don't as a matter of fact. Many, if not most dj's use a physical, 
"generic" disc only to reproduce the scratching movement; the impulses are 
registered digitally and affect - in real time - whatever track you choose 
to play from your computer.
Looks like real - is real, because it's still handicraft - but the guys 
don't have to carry around big boxes of vinyl.
