That's what I was thinking. He could at the very least switch from vinyl to CDs.

Stole a few directing quirks from other things, but what doesn't. I liked it.

You've posted one link in four years and you're complaining about the front page, photoslob? Come on.

You mean there's a place on the internet that has videos you can just watch for free?

I missed it before as well, and since I see there was some question in the original thread whether it might be produced by Nike, I'll link to a review (about 2/3 of the way down) that should make it clear it's an independent production. Excerpt:
“Spin,” produced for $500 by Double Edge Films in Denver, an exercise in precision. Not a word, not a glance, not a spin or scratch on the turntable is wasted. And the story is memorable: Quite simply, it’s about a DJ trying to change the world around him—and succeeding … sort of.posted by languagehat at 8:13 AM on June 11, 2006
The best eye candy is the record jock himself—Hayz II—who Winans discovered at a hip-hop show. Listening to Hayz motivated him to go home and write this short script. He then convinced actor friends to volunteer, enticed a couple of tough-looking guys he knew on myspace to play the thugs, and hit the streets with Hayz and his tables.
The film took five days to shoot on a Sony HDV camera, giving Winans “epic-looking footage for almost no money,” he says in the DVD’s director’s comments. The most exciting sequence are the CG effects about two-thirds into the film, giving it a rhythmic climax. “There’s this rhythm to the world; if you tape into the rhythm, you find something beautiful,” Winans says.
Must be the father of DJ Jesus (the mixmaster messiah).

The other post, which is from August, has a link to the producer's website. They have a version with the director's commentary.

Bah!! God uses Traktor, operating the mouse with his right hand, while VJing with his left hand. And he controls the lights and fog machine with foot pedals.

Good call on Jesus. But on deeper thought, God's got diamond fingernails, and plays records by spinning his hands around the vinyl, letting the audio pour out of his open mouth.

Yeah, but if he had CDJs, he'd cease to be a God- and no one who uses Tracktor DJ studio should be responsible for the world's inner workings. Doesn't anyone appreciate vinyl anymore?
