john digweed @ fabric 12 february 2005 *NOW WITH PICS &

[Hos]

humph

i'm not too sure

the tunes were good, and he played hard tough acid tinged dingleberries - but it didn't flow for me, his techy stuff is great on a CD, but 6 hours is a little much. so i'm a little disappointed. but he did rock the place. i have to collect my thoughts. and yes - shock horror - i left early.

hopefully i can give you peeps a sample of goodness when the pics and vids arrive from the dove from above.

morgan it was great to finally meet you, although i lost you as soon as we hit the dance floor. MJ was schnozzled again. just ask him what he thought of the music. har har. silverfoxx it was nice to meet you too. and sevan it was good meeting you....looking forward to hear your mix for jibby!

[san]

techy stuff is good. well...tech-housy stuff or techno stuff? hmm..either or him playing techy stuff is a good deal.

i would love him to play some bangin techno for once. oooooofa! that would be great.

can't believe you left early though. damn.

[Jibgolly]

jeez Hos! six hours of techiness?!?!?! i can't blame you for leaving early...

anyone got any track id's from the show??

[mixu]

I never thought I'd say this... but I was very, very disappointed.

Having heard the Fabric 20 CD before we went out I was even more excited and although the first hour was pretty good ? good tempo, shades of early Chicago house and a bit techy ? the rest of the set was just too banging and way too techy. There just wasn't any structure, the occasional prog. tune offered promise but quickly slipped back into the acidy tech stuff. No melodies, no tunes ? from the man who's given me so much, last night he gave me but a glimpse of the Digweed I know.

We stuck around till 6am in the hope that things would improve but it just didn't. Honestly, I don't think I've been that bored in a club for ages. As Hos says though, the place was rocking. It just wasn't for me ? or anyone I was with for that.

And to say there was more room on the dancefloor when Sasha's been there recently doesn't say much. We settled behind the DJ booth where the acoustics weren't so good but at least we could breathe.

Sad to say I didn't meet anyone either
Next time eh :wink:

Roll on May 21...

[arielus]

shame on you Hos... shame!

[hypoluxxa]

I'm not writing the guy off, but imagine spending a shitload of $$$ to go see him in Ibiza and London like we did last year and getting to listen to 90% of shit he never played before and you don't like. It's frustrating that's all. At least I'm not the only one saying that the shit he's playing doesn't really work for 6+ hours.

[Hos]

^word. i'm not slating him. and i didn't say it wasn't good. it was just commenting on flow and, yeah, i think it didn't flow because of the style he was playing. i think there are better djs out there at playing this style.

[hypoluxxa]

My God HOS! Good for you! you are one of the few people out there with the balls to say that. I'm proud of you. I feel the same though.

[Hos]

cheers bro. and unless you're on something you can't enjoy yourself in that sardine tin that is room 1
