Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
It was a good night, but not the best.
Funk D'Void and Terry Francis in room 2 were very good though... twisted techno and a great atmosphere in the "dark rave tunnel" as usual.
I think my problem was that we spent 4 hours in the techno room before even attempting the main room for Digweed because it was so rammed, then it took us a while to get into the tempo.
As we entered the main room (about 4am) Digweed was just mixing in Antena - Camino Del Sol (Joakim Remix) and it looked like we were in for a treat!
However, the room was still stupidly rammed which really puts a downer on the proceedings. People barging past from every direction, and you have to do the barging too in order to get anywhere. Its stupid.
By 6am Digweed had upped the tempo and was dropping some techy beasts with some big drops, didnt recognise any of the tracks. Also, some people had started to leave so the dancefloor was getting a bit more bearable.
However, i found the music a little monotonous and lacking melody and those monster tracks you expect Digweed to drop into an extended mix. It was good music and i didnt stop dancing for the duration, but a bit too samey for too long...
By 7:30 we had had enough, and queued to get coats and negotiate the london underground. By all accounts he carried on mixing until gone 8:30, and threw in a couple of classics for those who had stuck it out (Orbital - Lush has been mentioned on the Bedrock board).
I wish i had stuck it out, but it had been a very long day (had been to Twickenham to see England beat Italy, which was also a slightly disappointing game despite the win!).
All in all a good night out, and John is still my favourite dj. I saw Saturday night as a warm-up to Bedrock in April.... -
Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
p.s
I also have to mention the fabric soundsystem. Its amazing in all three rooms, its not like they have scrimped on the smaller sections of the building. Room 1 is out of this world.
Photos up tonight after ive downloaded my phone. My friend took some videos, ill try and grab them off him. No sound recordings though hehe ;-)Comment

Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
i was there
it was bleeding marvellous
think i didnt leave the club until the back of 9
as for tracks that got played.......yeah he played a track off of northern exposure and the only other one i remember was the remix of 'Psych-out' (i think!?!?!)
and im sure he held back for most of the night.....the previous times ive seen him in heaven he has really been pounding it out, but not as full on this time
and yes, had to add that both dj's before hand were superb as well.....quigley and gerberComment

Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
I was disappointed with the 2 other sets to be honest. Both of them were too up and down for me, I like a nice smooth progression. Digweed more than made up for it though. About 6am there was a period of about 5 tunes in a row which were absolute,eyes rolling in the back of your head, monsters which only Digweed can string together so perfectly. Unfortunately I had a horrendus hangover and so was exhausted by 7am and had to leave
Roll on April I say!!!

Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
Fabric is great if you can put up with the drunken twats and the foolish tourists.
Bedrock at Heaven is always so much better, the crowd is always great, a real proper atomsphere.
Where would you rather see Diggers Fundacion or Twilo?"Pain is only weakness leaving the body."Comment

Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
this is usually the case, but the crowd on saturday seemed pretty clued up, not the usual idiots. The advanced tickets had sold out so i guess most people were there because of Digweed, not because they happened to be in the UK for a couple of days and wanted to go clubbing (I blame TimeOut magazine).
Really cant wait for Easter Bedrock

Re: Digweed in Fabric last saturday
This was by far one of the worst Digweed sets I have heard in years. I started dull and went nowhere. Boring plodding techno all way long, the first two hours were so monotonus that I was constatntly asking myslef wtf?, few asskicking tunes, weak buildup. Seriosly Guy Gerber owned Digweed big time with his track selection that night. Needless to say I gave up and went home at 6.30 which is not sth I normally do on Diggers' gigs.
Plus tons of etards that had no fvcking clue what was going on
