I don't have the post saved, but you can check the archives at hyperreal. It involves having a BE Os computer, special LPs, special preamp, etc. I kind of wonder what sort of LP that guy was using to trigger the thing. The general case scenario would involve the recorded material to be unique throughout the whole track, have no aliases of forward and backwards material, and be decodable no matter what speed the record spins. And be immune to scratches, skips, backspins etc. Sounds pretty twisted to me. For that matter it's something where you have to add a bunch of expensive hardware to an already expensive DJ setup. You might as well buy vinyl and spin it.
