Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

one thing worth noting is that it took 10 years before digs gave an exclusive mix to ms. correct me if I am wrong.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

ok .. sorry to bang on, but I think its important for me to establish some clear facts that exist in the real world.




The 2 minute intro was personalised to the site !!!
It took some thought (i.e. wasn't just a bland 'happy 10th birthday here's a DJ set').
It expressed the understanding that [ms] hosts* John's weekly show and that Transitions polarises opinions.
Diggers also clearly gets across that he respects the forum members/fans right to their opinion/views on his music.

I'm sorry, but how many other major headlining DJs out there would do such a thing ?




1. [ms] got an exclusive that no other site has.
2. Yes it did tie into Cordoba (nothing wrong with that), but the set wasn't just picked at random, I can assure you of that !!!
3. Bit rate is down to the artist in terms of the quality they release/upload/send.

John took the time to phone about the set, he was in between tours and still had his 400th radio show to do ... I assume he also wanted to have some time for his family too ... yet he still took the time to arrange the set. he didn't have to do this, but wanted to find the time to do so in recognition of our support.

On the family thing, recent interviews with the likes of Hernan and Josh Wink make interesting reading on a how the DJ life and running a family is hard to balance.

He has a stupidly busy schedule + his day job (when not running a record label with a consistent & busy release schedule) involves listenening to more new music than most DJs out there. He's very hands on with stuff and puts in so many hours sleep is at a premium (check out the South America documentary). yet again, he found the time to put other tasks aside and support [ms].



*To be fair we're not meant to get them, a blind eye is turned. The contract for the show is made with the radio stations ... in reality many people here would have to pay for the show through subscription with Proton. However, Proton are very nice about things and allow us to host a rip provided this is a few days later.

Simon ,most of your post just underlines the facts I stated. And you never know, Digweed may appreciate that his business acumen is recognised, and appreciated . No one certainly would deny that he works extremely hard, as do others.

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

Whoever said we should be giving back to him had to be joking.

I said something along the lines, and I meant it in a more general sense I guess.. We do get a lot of good quality free music in general

tribalcho _ with full respect
.. you don´t have to care if you're the only one who thinks that or not

On the contrary - when different people from different parts of the world share the same opinion about something (as is what i see here on this thread) - well i believe they are a step close to the truth or a step close to the deception..as i said,only the time will tell...=))

Re: John Digweed - Live in Cordoba

I see where you are coming from to a point, but if a DJ gives out a live set for free the artists featured on the mix haven't been paid or asked their permission to have their tracks given away. Some might call it exposure others theft.

I hear ya Chunky and agree with you on the issue of exposure vs theft.

What I'm unhappy about is the fact that Digweed after all these years, decided that it would be a good idea to 'sell' a supposed amazing live set, rather than to share it.

It's the in your face commercialism, something that many around these parts try very hard to avoid, that annoys me the most.

The release of this Live Cordoba mix and pricetag associated with it, just didn't feel right for me.

Many friends of mine felt the very same way, except I'm not too fussed to be speaking about it openly.



Peace

^^ You want to hear something funny ?? Someone put CD 1 up for download on our local forum. I got it taken down from one site . It's idiots like this that helped lose us megaupload and have made dealing with even legal stuff so much harder

@go0gle We do indeed get some amazing music for free !! It's a source of constant wonder for me
