    John Digweed - is "Club Yellow 2001" his greatest live kiss100 set: discuss !!

    Dear [ms] crew

    I'm just listening to Diggers 4-hours from Club Yellow 2001 - my question for the discerning [ms] crew is this - is Yellow (Space Lab) 2001 JD's coolest and best Kiss100 broadcasted live set ?

    For me it has several key elements - it's from a very fine period in a long and highly productive (and flourishing) DJ'ing career, it's from a time that "Progressive House" was at a peak, from a highly cool and exotic club (whose closure merely adds to the mysticallity) - and crucially it comes in at 4-hours making it very much a proper set (rather than 1-hour excerpt a la Twilo), full of dark progressive driving beats that deleops and evolves, evoking the feel of GU 019 LA. Bloody hell, even the japanese girl doing the intro sounds cool !

    If you've missed this set what have you been listening too all this time ?

    JD had broadcasted many live sets over the years (although some are just 1-hour and perhaps IMHO can't be classed as actual sets) - so if Yellow isn't his greatest, tell me what is so that the music can continue to live on and be enjoyed.

    You can choose from:

    514 Productions Party Montreal
    Fabric

    2001
    Twilo's 4th Birthday
    The Beach, Bedrock Brighton
    Avalon, Boston
    Fabric
    Bedrock London

    Space, ibiza (choice of 2)
    Club Yellow, Japan

    2002
    Melbourne, Australia
    Redbox, Dublin
    Deep, Spain
    Gatecrasher Summer Sound System
    Twilo's 3rd birthday
    Area 2 Tour Chicago

        Man I remember the 4-parter ... downloading them every week was like finding gold, waiting for a chance to listen to everything in one orgasmic go.

        Yeah why isn't Dubai on the list? Or are we only counting 'official' broadcasts?

        I vaguely remember Avalon, Fabric, Twilo, Cavo Paradiso and Pawn shop sets to be noteworthy.

            Totally agree that Club Yellow set was the best live mix or one of the best. The tracks, timing and yes even the Japanese girl intros are amazing. Digweed's evil, dark sound was really taking off at that time. I believe he ranked # 1 that year in the DJ mag poll. I saw him play live in either '00 or '01 and his set just blew me away. Definitely one of the best DJ sets I ever saw.

                  i'm listening to it. Part 1 is pretty damn good. not so hot on part 2, at least toward the end.

                        1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                        2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                        3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                        4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                        Am I close here?

                          I actually miss the old Kiss intros.



                          I remember hearing this set and thinking damn it'd be nice to check Digweed out in Tokyo with a dancefloor of Japanese babes.

                            ^ what is the old intro song? (i keep thinking the evolution remix of hamel's 'close' track)

                              I didn't think it was a track? I thought it was just something they put together for the show.
