    Diggers not a progressive Dj ?!?

    The below interview states Digweed doesn't spin progressive sounds, and isn't happy about everyone thinking he is a proggy Dj.

    So whats up with this interview. Someone (maybe Leha) translate key points. I always considered most of his sets to be proggy sounds, with many sets in the techhouse, house, and breaks genres.

    But this interview is confusing.

    Poslechněte si set od Johna Digweeda
    17.04.2006 13:56:05 - autor: spaceboss :: přečteno: 1906xtisk :: poslat

    Hodl?te prorazit jako DJov? a mysl?te, ?e v?m k tomu bude stačit kufř?k napěchovan? kvalitn?mi deskami + nadřen? technika mixingu? Tak to jste poř?dně vedle. Ze sv?ho ostrovn?ho Bedrock imp?ria v?m to vzkazuje odborn?k na slovo vzat?, DJsk? veter?n a sem tam producent John Digweed.
    "Mů?ete m?t talent, brilantně mixovat, hr?t skvěl? desky, ale to v?echno je m?lo, pokud v?m chyb? v??eň pro hudbu. Pokud ji nemilujete cel?m sv?m srdcem, neu??v?te si naplno ka?dou sekundu sv?ho setu, nikdy z v?s nebude vynikaj?c? DJ," rad? DJsk?m greenhornům Digweed, kter? svou kari?ru klubov?ho jockeye odstartoval před 16 lety v Hastingsu. "Lidi se na p?rty s v?mi budou pravidelně vracet jedině tehdy, pokud uvid?, ?e zbo?ňujete to, co děl?te a podař? se v?m je nakazit sv?m entuziasmem.."
    Neuhas?naj?c? v??eň po hudbu hodl? Digweed podle v?eho zakonzervovat i do svoj? nejnověj?? mix kompilace "Transitions". O t? se u? teď v?, ?e půjde ven v průběhu června 2006 prostřednictv?m britsk? Renaissance a va?e zvukovody se bude sna?it zah?čkovat tracky od Paula Kalkbrennera, Michaela de Heye, Tigerskin, Margot meets The Melody Maker, Partial Arts a nebude chybět ani jedna ?hav? novinka od samotn?ho Digyho. Kdo ale ček? i nějak? ten n??up svě??ch progressive kousků, ček? marně.
    "Spousta clubberů, včetně hudebn?ch novin?řů, mě z nějak?ho důvodu neust?le svazuje s hudebn?m stylem progressive, kter? v současn? době ale hraji v?cem?ně jen občas," postě?oval si Digweed u? loni v jednom interview. "Kdysi se pojmem progressive označovala jak?koliv elektronick? hudba, kter? předběhla svou dobu, dnes je to ale vlastně samostatn? ??nr, s n?m? toho skutečně nem?m př?li? společn?ho."

      To me progressive means continually evolving
      as dance music evolves so will Digweed
      via all the producers and artists who give him first look
      at the all the dope tracks

      1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
      2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
      3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
      4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

      Am I close here?

            What language is that anyway?!?
            But I can understand he doesn't like to be called a progressive dj... his style is pretty diverse.

                ^ Agree, Even when porg was popular he nver considered himself a prog dj. That is what everyone else called him. Diggers plays what he wants to play at any certain time.

                            i still think calling a genre of music "progressive" is so fucking concided

                              Well, I think progressive is still very popular. We base so much of our community on it. Its a genre, a style of sound. Breaks, techno, house, techhouse, trance, minimal, and others are all genres of style.

                              'lilsensa' said Electro. That covers alot, almost all the genres together. But progressive is a sound moving forward by definition, but it's more than that really. Its the smoothness of mellow blended funky beat and rhythm. Actually, all the genres are moving forward in their own way, so the definition of 'progressive' does not apply really, to the music. The definition applys in a different way to the maker of the set, and the name is only a type or style of sound.

                              What is breaks, minimal, or others by definition. Its a term without linguistic definition, we simply know what it means by our learned like or dislike for the sound, not the definition. So Progressive music is a sound, just like the others.

                              For me, I have heard Digweed playing many different sounds, not just one. But why is he stating so strongly in this interview his dislike for someone to classify him as 'progressive'. Does he dislike progressive. I don't think so, I think he doesn't want to be held in a room with other Djs who only spin one or two sounds. He spins many sounds on different shows or sets. They are never the same, that is what makes him truly 'progressive' by definition.

                              So really Digweed is Progressive, by definition only, though he spins many genres. He is ahead of everyone else ... moving forward before the other guys ... setting the stage for others to follow. That is progressive by definition.

                              Just my thought!

                              Yes the language is Czech from the Czech Republic most likely. Maybe Leha, or some Slovakian guys could translate some of it for us. I know the Slovak's have a different language, but some understand Cz pretty well. So do many Polish guys, maybe Jula can help some.
