        Haha. Nice. Optional extras: the Vagabond 2010 mix (from Structures DVD) and the mix from Avalon in 2011 (Structures 2).

          I would only be able to listen to the London part. Digweed has always been one of my favorite DJs in the world, but I don't like the direction he has taken his peak hour sound as of late. I'm not a big fan of techno except perhaps in tiny doses. It's fine if you want to throw in a techno track here and there to have some variation.... but when you just play one after another after another it just bores the life out of me. I need some semblance of musicality, whether it's a groovy bassline, a vocal, or some melodic elements.

          Now, that being said, I understand that this set was played to an eastern european crowd and, from what I can tell over my years of experience with this music, those people just don't have the same taste in music as people do in the UK. I guess my taste is more like the people attending the Live In London set.

                I hear you, his peak time can get pretty hard and tough with the techno, experienced that for myself at one of the Bedrock parties, I actually found it quite fatiguing!

                You might want to check out his latest Kiss live set from the boat. Digweed and Winks' sets were proper build ups.

                I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                  I think that the techno or "hard"
                  is not the best part of digweed.
                  When He play that kind of stuff
                  is like a ball of incomprehensible
                  sounds and can be tiring to
                  hear and dance. A simple opinion,
                  I like the some techno stuff but not
                  all the time.

                        ^ I don't think the heavy techno translates well from the club to listening at home.

                          Depends if you've had a few glasses of wine, I played both CDs of a night time settled down with a nice bottle of vino, great stuff

                          Embrace the variety, Cordoba and CDs 1 & 2 of London are attuned to home listening, the other discs for the car / gym / walk to work as there's more pace to them.

                          Have to say Structures 1 & 2 still sound great at home.

                          This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                            I think there's enough variety out there and this release completes the Digweed repertoire. If anything, I wish this was at least a 3 or 4 CD release with earlier discs leading to dancefloor demolishment.

                            If we ever get a full night of Bedrock that has him warm up, peak time, and end with the old school, I can hang up my dancing shoes.

                              Yup I can see Slovenia being good for a gym workout or a car drive.
