Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

I'm probably going to get both CD and digital formats, because (1) I'm a huge Digweed fan and I want the signed CD, and (2) I'm a bedroom DJ and want the unmixed tracks. And yes, admittedly I am well into my 30's...

Another great interview here :

John Digweed on His Favorite Twilo Memory, Vinyl Snobbery and Why He Still Loves New York

One of the biggest names in electronic music played New York unannounced last Thursday when John Digweed took control of Provocateur for a secret show. Though known globally as a festival and megaclub staple and the man (with longtime collaborator Sasha) behind the first ever D.J. mix compilation, "Renaissance" he's most fondly remembered locally for his legendary run behind the decks of the city's last great club.

Digweed's monthly residency with fellow Brit Sasha at Twilo dovetailed with the brief incursion of underground European dance music into the American mainstream. What the New York Times called the city's "most mammoth dance party" lasted five years, through Twilo's closing in 2001, routinely drawing 4,000 heads from up and down the eastern seaboard for "barely controlled mayhem" over 10-hour sets. Last month marked the 10th anniversary of Twilo's closing, a passing Digweed calls the moment the "heart of clubland in America got ripped out."

Still, the progressive house spinner remains one of the few true superstar D.J.s in this neck of the woods, and is encouraged by a resurgence of dance music and club culture in New York. He played District 36 last month and will co-anchor September's Electric Zoo festival on Randall's Island. The new club and fledgling festival both prove that New Yorkers crave the beats and are willing to invest in proper homes for them. The Feast met with Digweed hours before his Provocateur show for his take on the current scene and his refusal to be a vinyl snob.

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

couple, well more than a couple tbh of tracks on the unmixed which aren't to my taste at all. stand out for me is the reprise of in your boat, ambient mix of beautiful strange, shonky remix of searching, wiretappeur reprise of bilder, oliver lieb - parallax, sarah goldfarb remix of funk ensemble, ssc - freaky boy from outside. stella stuff!

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

I don't think Digweed should do ambient mixes, his talent is wasted on them. Checked out 15 mins of CD 1 and turned it off. Not to say it's shit or the tracks are bad, but did not feel the Digweedness in the mix.

CD 2 took a while to take off but midway into it, 28 mins, wicked bassline, stomping shit. Would've been awesome to hear that come in on the speakers in a club.

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

wow disagree 100% with feather. may want to give it a full listen b4 you make such comments. not sure how u can judge a cd by listening to 15 min out of 75

I was very happy that digweed decieded to do a downtempo cd. although it was not the birlliant masterpiece that hernan put together on parralel, it was still very good and enjoyed it tremendously. around the 40 min mark is some of the trippiest music i have heard in a while. loved it!

also want to say i was presently surprised to see that my CD was in my mail box yesterday on release day. Props to the bedrock team for sending the orders out early so they would arrive to the states on time.

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

Well I did say the first 15 mins put me to sleep hence my comment but no doubt I'll give it a proper listen.

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

Ha ha ha after praising HMV in the Saiz thread for always getting cd's to me on time, I got an e-mail from them at the weekend saying due to a supplier stock error they wont have it for me on release date, so I'll have to wait. Nevermind!

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

the thing about the mixed and unmixed is really disappointing, i was planning on buying the vinyl but now i'm going to have to get the digital so i can have the tracks unmixed...

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

Copy & paste from my post in Bedrock:

CD 1: Loved it. I still need to have a proper listen with headphones, preferably in a car when someone else is driving.
CD 2: Liked it, might have to listen to it a bit louder to really appreciate it. Might not be something that works at neighbor-friendly volume.
CD 3: A really great selection of tracks. Looking forward to playing a few of these out during the summer.

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album

Yeah and if you order it digitally you get Both mixes, and 42 trax all for only 20 dollars on beatport....That is a steal of a deal. Diggers sure knows how to put some incredible packages together.

Re: Digweed Structures Part Two - Album
