Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

I've been going to see Digweed since 1997, IF you like his deep, dark, relentless, and just out right nasty, then last night was for you! TOP 3 set I've ever witnessed.

Digweed was so sick! I couldn't believe my ears. :D Definitely the best set I've heard live. I'm so glad I ended up going to see him!

He hasn't spun like that, here in LA in years!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

He seems to be giving more in-depth interviews these days.

[QUOTE][URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=2"]John Digweed[/URL]: Anyone that comes out on a Wednesday or a Thursday night, not on a normal weekend night, they’re there specifically for that gig. They haven’t just stumbled across a club on aweekend when they’ve been out with friends. It’s like, “Right, I wanna go and see this person play because I enjoy what he does and this is the only time I’m gonna get to hear him for X amount of time.” Yes it’s gonna be hard going into work on Thursday morning, but it’s gonna be worth it. I think what’s been special about those Mayan nights is that they’ve always attracted people that want to come out and party old school, which is they don’t care what day of the week it is. They don’t care if they’re late for work or got a bit of a fuzzy head the next day. They want to go out and have a good time.[/QUOTE]

Yes :Respect:

It was fooking relentless and hard from the beginning!!!

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

very grooved and techy the whole night with massive floor rumbling bombs. I've been going to see him since '99. Consistant quality. Definitely lost my mind for a few of those tracks!

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

Man that was really an epic set! Now I know what you guys mean when you call him the vortex. :)

Sometimes you have to wait hours before he opens up the Vortex! Not last night though.

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

I must've been standing next to you because I was right in front of Digweed the whole time. :P You might've seen a little asian kid dancing right in the front, if so that was probably me. 8)

LOL! I was the guy wearing a black BAPE tee. :D

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

I don't remember the tee but I looked you up in the names with faces thread and I remember your face haha. :D

Last night was pretty hazy, I was lost in the music and the alcohol probably didn't help either lol.

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

The vibe in that room was so good last Wednesday!

[QUOTE=DIDI;979212]Great Interview!! :D Especially this
[QUOTE]I think people, to a certain extent, don’t dance anymore. They just jump up and down punching the air because that’s all the record has allowed them to do. There isn’t any time to take a breather. [/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

This is also true of his own gigs. People are a lot less animated a gigs these days, the whole freaky dancing and people interacting with each other has all but completely disappeared. These days the DJ has to play centre stage and people have to be able to see them at all times. If anyone remembers Lakota or the old Space in Ibiza the DJ booths where all tucked away, it was a far better set up.

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

Looking forward to that 15 hour set for Bedrock 15 :P

Re: Digweed, Mayan, LA on Wed., Aug. 3rd, 2011

Nice interview by [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=2"]John Digweed[/URL] by dmcworld magazine. :D He mentions the Mayan in it!

[QUOTE][B]You have travelled and performed around the world 50 times over. Have you played anywhere new this year that stands out?[/B] “I played at the Fresh Festival in La Coruna in Spain in July for the first time, that was really good, a really nice festival with a great crowd. Another one that stands out, which although not new but great to see back up there is [B]The Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles[/B] which is bouncing again. I’ve been doing it for about ten years now and I played there this year on a Wednesday night which is notoriously a bad night in LA. 1500 people turned up and it was rocking. It reminded me of the old Bedrock nights at Heaven in London where because it’s a midweeker, you know that the crowd are there for the music, they don’t care what night of the week it is.” [/QUOTE]

Fuck yeh! Heaven on a Thursday is where it was! Gay club or not, the atmosphere, intensity and the music:

It's bloody great to see you popped your cherry to Mr. Digweed-himself, Rawrmune couldn't have selected a better night or venue.
