He seems to be giving more in-depth interviews these days.

John Digweed: Anyone that comes out on a Wednesday or a Thursday night, not on a normal weekend night, they’re there specifically for that gig. They haven’t just stumbled across a club on aweekend when they’ve been out with friends. It’s like, “Right, I wanna go and see this person play because I enjoy what he does and this is the only time I’m gonna get to hear him for X amount of time.” Yes it’s gonna be hard going into work on Thursday morning, but it’s gonna be worth it. I think what’s been special about those Mayan nights is that they’ve always attracted people that want to come out and party old school, which is they don’t care what day of the week it is. They don’t care if they’re late for work or got a bit of a fuzzy head the next day. They want to go out and have a good time.

Yes

very grooved and techy the whole night with massive floor rumbling bombs. I've been going to see him since '99. Consistant quality. Definitely lost my mind for a few of those tracks!

Proper Vortex pic:



Sometimes you have to wait hours before he opens up the Vortex! Not last night though.

I must've been standing next to you because I was right in front of Digweed the whole time. :P You might've seen a little asian kid dancing right in the front, if so that was probably me.

I don't remember the tee but I looked you up in the names with faces thread and I remember your face haha.

Last night was pretty hazy, I was lost in the music and the alcohol probably didn't help either lol.

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

Great Interview!! Especially this

I think people, to a certain extent, don’t dance anymore. They just jump up and down punching the air because that’s all the record has allowed them to do. There isn’t any time to take a breather.

This is also true of his own gigs. People are a lot less animated a gigs these days, the whole freaky dancing and people interacting with each other has all but completely disappeared. These days the DJ has to play centre stage and people have to be able to see them at all times. If anyone remembers Lakota or the old Space in Ibiza the DJ booths where all tucked away, it was a far better set up.
