if not digweed, then who?

Re: if not digweed, then who?

Hernan's got a long way to go, he's still early in his career and in 10 years to come he may be the one to take the throne off Digweed, he's still got a long way to go though.

Jimmy van M - hmm I dunno he's a bit of a cookie cutter, run of the mill dj if you ask me.

Danny Howells - sorry, but I've never really worked out why this guy is where he is today.

Jon Lisle - EXCELLENT dj. Amazing skills. His OS cd shows that he easily has what it takes to create a journey. And it's one hell of a journey. But he's kind of a different dj to Digweed, his headcracking abilities need to be worked on I thing.

Don't forget, it's all about the messing with our minds folks. As cliched as it is it's all about the journey in a dj set. And after clubbing solidly for 5 years it amazed me when I did actually get to see Diggers, that was a fucking journey that no other had come close to in now 6 years of clubbing for me. How he made it so seamless, and covered so much ground is way beyond me. Not to mention the rearrangement my brain received that night.

Sorry for really crapping on about this, you must think I'm a bit of a nutter when it comes to the man. But some of you are kinda missing the point a little.

***NEWS FLASH***

The reason all of you are having such a hard time thinking of DJs playing the "dark" tracks these days is because....NO ONE IS!!!!

The dark, thick, nasty, sick, twisted, grimy era of progressive is over. It has...wait for it...wait for it...progressed. I concider Miami to be the starting point for "The Year to Come in EDM." Guess what, no one I saw was spinning anything close to what I would call "dark." Am I saying I like this current state of affairs...no way. Digweed's Fabric album blows ass. But this is the sound they want to have right now. This time next year it will be a little bit different. A year after that it could be competely new...who knows.

I long for the good old days of the dark, tribal, bangers, but sadly it seems all of the A-listers have either grown tired of that sound or the producers have stopped producing them in quantity. That's why I've got 65 Gigs of sets saved. I can relive those "good old days" anytime I want to. I like the opportunity to hear new shit as much as anyone, but this newer style isn't quite to my liking.

BTW Hernan ROCKS!!!!!!

Re: if not digweed, then who?

^^^^^^^

BRILLAINT man!!!

I agree, who knows if we'll ever see music like that again. I don't have as many sets recorded, but I'll manage.

Re: if not digweed, then who?

i like hernan when he does decide to hit you on the spot, but he plays too many cheezy gay male vocal induced prog house for my liking. hell, it seems like everyone's playing that, adding a shit load of electro, and mixing breaks here and there. is this the selling combination these days? it's cookie-cutter. it's crap.

while we yearn for those "dark evil" days, we have others that are too quick to preach, "hey dude, this is what progressive is all about. PROGRESS." and blah blah blah. bleh. so by that definition, we must accept all changes even if it is shit? i'm not sure if the changes really qualify as progressive. maybe we should start calling the current crap out there regressive house.

most of these cookie-cutter sets floating around these days makes you go

the evil, twisted, mind-fuck diggers makes you go

i'll take the latter any day, progressed or not.

Nice points man. I too believe that just because something has "progressed" doesn't mean you are just supposed to fall in line and accept it. There is nothing we can do about it, it is the way of things, but that doesn't mean we can't keep the vibe alive and the fire burning as the next "sound" comes and goes. The "dark old days" were the best, no doubt, we may never witness another era that produced as much of a certain sound as the period from late 1999 to the middle of '04. It is what got me into EDM in the first place. I never thought I would see it go...completely anyway.

Here lies dark, nasty progressive house...may it Rock in Peace.

Re: if not digweed, then who?

progressive was never dark., it was more like eerie. dark is drum and bass. fuck it. you are right ... drum and bass is just evil.

can't agree there. maybe progressive didn't start as dark, but think 2001. diggers and bedrock were putting out lots of dark stuff! and remember the short-lived "black" label? remember deep amok's "shades"? now if that wasn't dark, i don't know what is (refer to kiss100 club yellow part 3, 1st track). and those silver planet tracks that yunus was putting out in 2002 like red pilot and euphrates. i'd say that's pretty dark. and those tracks that moshic was making. but when i say "darK" in conjunction with "evil" or any other adjective to describe diggers at his best - wicked, hard, bangy, twisted, mental, etc., i'm really talking about his peaktime mode (oh, there's that phrase again... my fav) - i'm not saying all the tracks in a set must be as dark as songs like shades or red pilot. it's just that when diggers is in that mode, he's so wicked and crazy, that it's evil, which is dark... (gosh, am i making sense?) it must be right? b/c afterall, we're not raising our arms up high in eternal bliss remembering the splashing waves of ibiza extolling to the spirit of mother earth like in pvd or tiesto shows, right? (aka crap and shit).

i have seen digweed live in the last month or so... he's still got the hard, bangy, mean, peaktime mode it was great. i think we're just starting to question him b/c the livesets we are getting are not so exciting. even his "live" kiss shows are stuffed with nothing but electro. it's time for someone to sneak a DAT for another "beirut" ;-)
