Digweed THIS week

Re: Digweed THIS week

They don't know anything! Nothing like a deep chuggy hypnotic groove and some twisted sounds to get into your head. The problem with most music these days, they have the most boring basslines, and rely too much on efx.

AMEN!!!! Totally feel the same way about deep chuggy grooves.

Actually this might be the one I was referring to. Most tracks on there he played on the night Im talking about.

Was it when that guy jumped on the rack lights and was walking across them when they came down? hahaha

Re: Digweed THIS week

Was that recorded?

is there any other way to know the names and the order of so many tracks, than actually listening to the recorded set ? if no, the next question is obvious

Actually John says that the recorder fucked up and the set was not recorded. I know that many trainspotters were writing the names of the tracks on cocktail napkins while he was playing. I know it sounds absurd, but I was there and people actually use to do this quite often at Diggers sets. The guy that climbed on to the light rig ended up inadvertently kicking my wife in the head. It was a top night.

Re: Digweed THIS week

The last time I experienced John turn the, OMG what the feck just happened, someone has opened the gates of hell, and unleashed an assault on all of my being was at the Palace (Avalon) many years ago. he played for 8 to 10 hours... I have been searching for a night like that since. He's come close, and at times had given a glimpse of that, but I haven't experienced the Vortex in many years. I still go see him play and he and Sasha have thrilled and amazed me since. But NOTHING has come close to that NYE set.

yeah, the NYE event was amazing.
the closest thing that came to those nights was the september performance.
i was questioning about spending $50 on what i thought would be a 3 1/2 set.
i later found out it was going to be a 7 hr. set.
with that in mind, it was no question that i wasn't going.

The vortex is that slow build leading to about that 2rd hour
or so when he drops THAT track and everything afterwards
is loss of conscious time, absorbed in musical mayhem.
Weird he chose the Mar show when the LA Sept. show was mental.

the september show was pure insanity.
the first hour was a complete mindfuck.
i remember he started with "crocodile" by underworld, and lost me after that.

You know the funny as in SAD thing about the September show, we missed it because we were in Ibiza. We had booked the trip months in advance thinking we'd have a better chance of seeing Diggers there.

Same here! That night/morning was by far one of my favorite memories out. The last couple of hours was eargasmic magical bliss and a fantastic way to finish up his set. I was speechless for several hours after we left close to 11am that morning...I'll never forget some of the facial expressions of the last few standing during those last few hours...shock, awe, complete & utter bliss.

I've only had the opportunity to see him solo a handful of times but nowhere near that long (3-4 hours tops usually). I really wish I had the chance again to see him do an extended lengthy set...perhaps WMC this year...

I've posted the image before right after the set, but his expression sums it up:

Re: Digweed THIS week

WTF is this vortex shit people talk about, seriously?

Here is something I wrote one day after a proper night out w/ Digweed. I think we all have our interpretations...this is mine.

The Vortex
Upon approaching a vortex one might initially steer clear of such phenomenon, however one may resist only temporarily…as a true vortex is found to be alluring. The hypnotic elements may only have minimal effects at the perimeter for this is done to create a false sense of security and comfort. One might feel a mesmerizing and entranced force once initially subjected into the vortex. As you embrace and succumb to the seductive compulsions you can only hope your elementary perspectives will continue as there is no escape, nor apparent outlet…you can only concede to the power you are now just beginning to understand. A submissive approach is best once fully immersed and engulfed. There are little details known other than the outer boundaries and medial swirls of a vortex as most testimonials are inconclusive, extremely assorted…and predominantly incomprehensible. The mysterious depths of a vortex are left to be explored and explained on an individual basis.

See you in The Vortex!

Re: Digweed THIS week
