    Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

    Ok ... well some one had to get their shit together and do this - frankly none of us will be in fit states for days as is was a marathon set, full of emotion and simply sublime music.

    In fact its an impossible task to even try to capture just how awesome the set was, it spanned from early Renaissance to Norther Exposure to Communicate to Transitions with loads of track from all in a marathon & seemless 9 hours mix of pure Vortexness.

    Special heads up the the [ms] guys who are a great bunch of chaps - Adam (AdzeybuB) Jeff (Day for Night) Mohammed (Dzone), Chris (Chunky), AndyH and The Mighty Greg ... you're legends ... in fact Jeff must have been up for 30 hours and was still rocking it hard til the end !

    Simply one of the best nights of progressive/house/electronic music I've witnessed - the way Diggers built up from opening (10.15.pm) with ambientness (e.g. Steiger - Postcards) to progressive classics (Apollo 400 - Liquid Cool, Trancesetters - Roaches) to Vortex to tearing roof off for about the 20th time with Heaven scent up to closing (07.15.am.) .. it simply takes your breath away, and did at the time .. even though we danced far too hard.

    Oh yeah and the breakdown late-morning with Planet Funk - Inside All The People (Harvery's Ibiza Sleepy Mix) was inspired. Dzone certainly enjoyed that one !

    We'll have to comprise a tracklist when we all get our my senses back ... but I did find/manage to cobble the one below together (with help of the Bedrock board) .. plus there's vids too (not mine ... I was too busy getting into the music) :

    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.

              Had an amazing time.

              Didnt make any meetups before hand - was at Waterloo station meeting up with friends then we decided to head straight for the dome.

              Great music, great soundsystem, great visuals, so many friendly faces and people ive met over the years at Bedrock.

              John destroyed it big time - the great thing was that even the club was busy, there was always room to dance properly. Even the air con made 100% difference over going to Heaven.

                Highlight for me was Apollo 440, thought Diggers lost it later on (around 430 - 5ish til i left at 7). Loved all the classic early on and the club is amazing. Go for the dance floor, when that bass hits your chest and your feet at the same time it is out of this world.
                Had a great night, roll on the next one!

                      He played the original mix followed by a remix id never heard before, which was similar but harder beats and more percussion... really tore the roof off!

                        Trancesetters - Roaches

                        What a mad night, so jealous right now.
                        “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
                        Marcus Tullius Cicero

                          Kick ass review simon!! That's cool as hell that you [MS]'rs got to meet up for what seems like an amazing time.

                          Oh, I cannot stand Britney Spears, but this track is lush as hell...

                              ^^^Holy shit...Didn't watch that vid yet! I can't believe he played that! It's probably what everyone was hoping for. We all talk about it "not being as good as it used to". But, damn is it fucking awesome when a classic like that gets the dust brushed off.
