Jesus fucking christ. Digweed annihilated us. My body's falling apart and I have a headache.

Never heard him play so hard in my Digweed-stalking career, I think he couldn't bring it down after Cox's set.

(Did anyone think the speakers sounded shit? Especially for vocals; and my ears are ringing )

Good to finally meet Dzone, Simon, Chunky, Shpira ... did I miss anyone?

I have pics in my phone but I can't access them till I get back to Shanghai.

Jesus.

Re: BedRock 12

Firstly great to meet up with people from the [ms] and Bedrock boards that had flown in from far flung places and they really enjoyed the early part. Especially great to meet Feather & Shpira - plus kudos to D-zone & Funkykarma for making the long haul trip & nice to catch up with Chunky & meet Matt + posse who made the trip. Must have been about 50 of us incl friends !

A really good night with some stellar music. Venue had plus points and minus : amazing visuals - stage looked great .... although sound was too loud, bass heavy and lacked clarity, so it didn't capture the full dynamic range of all the music that the fabric sound system would. Assume this was venue restrictions as the sound needed to project to the back of the huge room.

The first 2 x hours (10 til 12) were fantastic .... real Bedrock vibe from the people that had got in to hear John from the off. Diggers was pretty up tempo and the new B12 tracks sounded great - John & Nick's 'Bilder' was huuuuuge.

I didn't catch much of Carl Cox ... went to give my ears a rest, chat to people in the foyer and catch some of Jim Rivers who played some nice stuff.

Returned for John's second set : 3 til 6 had a v nice dark heads down 90 mins which I loved. Vortex in full flow and Ryan Davis - The Wolve (Max Cooper Remix) was just too epic for my words to do it justice. Another high point, to quote a friend:

"Diggers dropped an insane tune with (i kid you not) a 6-8 min breakdown.....was un-f*cking-believable....place went right off!!!!!! So amazing it blew my camera while filming it.....amazing what John can do !"

Felt the last hour was a bit too banging (but then others really liked that part). I'd have preferred some more melodic Bedrock tracks/anthems.

To finish there were 3 x classics : Age of Love & Open Up. The coup de gras was a lovely touch at the end - the other key part of the 'Bedrock' entity, Mr Nick Muir did a live version of Heaven Scent, showing off his masterful keyboard chops !!!

Nice reviews! In particular, thanks Simon for the following IDs

John & Nick's 'Bilder' was huuuuuge

Wondered what this tune was since I heard it in this video

The key question is: will that version see the light of day, or will it go the way of the original version of Gridlock?

Ryan Davis - The Wolve (Max Cooper Remix) was just too epic for my words to do it justice

Quality! I saw John at Rhodes, and he rocked it late on with this now-identified gem:

Re: BedRock 12

insane night...really mental. never heard diggers play quite like that...sequencing to fuck...incredibly long builds...slightly too heavy on occasion

Re: BedRock 12

On way home now. Had a magic night. Loved Carl Cox! Digweed was really heavy which I enjoyed but some people i was with didn't lol! Glad to (very briefly!) meet Chunky and Simon R in foyer. Found it very warm were we stood and sweat was dripping off us. That would be the only complaint of the night. Barr that, epic evening indeed!

Sounds like he played the same way as when I saw him last August. Digweed has turned into a fully accomplished techno DJ, lol.

Personally, I love it, I feel itīs the 2010 equivalent of the old Vortex.
