Ok ... well some one had to get their shit together and do this - frankly none of us will be in fit states for days as is was a marathon set, full of emotion and simply sublime music.

In fact its an impossible task to even try to capture just how awesome the set was, it spanned from early Renaissance to Norther Exposure to Communicate to Transitions with loads of track from all in a marathon & seemless 9 hours mix of pure Vortexness.

Special heads up the the [ms] guys who are a great bunch of chaps - Adam (AdzeybuB) Jeff (Day for Night) Mohammed (Dzone), Chris (Chunky), AndyH and The Mighty Greg ... you're legends ... in fact Jeff must have been up for 30 hours and was still rocking it hard til the end !

Simply one of the best nights of progressive/house/electronic music I've witnessed - the way Diggers built up from opening (10.15.pm) with ambientness (e.g. Steiger - Postcards) to progressive classics (Apollo 400 - Liquid Cool, Trancesetters - Roaches) to Vortex to tearing roof off for about the 20th time with Heaven scent up to closing (07.15.am.) .. it simply takes your breath away, and did at the time .. even though we danced far too hard.

Oh yeah and the breakdown late-morning with Planet Funk - Inside All The People (Harvery's Ibiza Sleepy Mix) was inspired. Dzone certainly enjoyed that one !

We'll have to comprise a tracklist when we all get our my senses back ... but I did find/manage to cobble the one below together (with help of the Bedrock board) .. plus there's vids too (not mine ... I was too busy getting into the music) :

Steiger - Postcards (ambient mix) Fortunata & Montressor - Imagine Bedrock - Forge Apollo 440 - Liquid Cool Banco de Gaia - Last train to Lhasa Killer Loop - Blue Hour (Communicate Baby) Trancesetters - Roaches Leftfield - Song Of Life Major North - Annihilate PoPoF – ‘Lost Though’ The Timewriter - Flicking Pages Faze action - in the trees (carl craig c2 remix) M.a.n.d.y. - No Stoppin Love Ladytron - destroy everything you touch (invol2ver remix) Apparat - Arcadia (invol2ver Remix) Chemical Brothers - Do it Again Depeche Mode - Only when I Lose Myself (Lexicon Avenue mix) Bjork - Kindness Kind (Delikate Imposters remix) Thomas Schumacher - Mad Robot Peter Dundov - Oasis Superpitcher - Happiness (Michael Mayer Remix) Jark Prongo - Shake It Lawrence - Along the Wire (Superpitcher remix) Sven Vath - Barbarella (Deep Dish mix) Moby - Southside (Pete Heller Mix) Guy J - Mirko DJ Ralph & Jo - Backdraft Billie Ray Martin - Je Regrette Everything (Superpitcher Remix) Antena - Camino Del Sol System 7 - spacebird Killer Loop - that was it Audion - Mouth to Mouth Britney Spears - Breathe on me, the James Holden remix Minilogue - Space (Roland M Dill mix) Rocco - Roots For Acid Planet Funk - Inside All The People (Harvery's Ibiza Sleepy Mix) Bedrock – Heaven Scent (M.O.D.E. Remix) On Spec - Knights of Columbus (Jamie Stevens mix)

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

Had an amazing time.

Didnt make any meetups before hand - was at Waterloo station meeting up with friends then we decided to head straight for the dome.

Great music, great soundsystem, great visuals, so many friendly faces and people ive met over the years at Bedrock.

John destroyed it big time - the great thing was that even the club was busy, there was always room to dance properly. Even the air con made 100% difference over going to Heaven.

Dancefloor carnage, bring on Fabric in december :)

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

Highlight for me was Apollo 440, thought Diggers lost it later on (around 430 - 5ish til i left at 7). Loved all the classic early on and the club is amazing. Go for the dance floor, when that bass hits your chest and your feet at the same time it is out of this world. Had a great night, roll on the next one!

He played the original mix followed by a remix id never heard before, which was similar but harder beats and more percussion... really tore the roof off!

Kick ass review simon!! That's cool as hell that you [MS]'rs got to meet up for what seems like an amazing time.

Oh, I cannot stand Britney Spears, but this track is lush as hell...

Britney Spears - Breathe on me, the James Holden remix

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

^^^Holy shit...Didn't watch that vid yet! I can't believe he played that! It's probably what everyone was hoping for. We all talk about it "not being as good as it used to". But, damn is it fucking awesome when a classic like that gets the dust brushed off.

Im really hoping Diggers releases a good portion of his set on Transitions soon....

I think its great he played alot of classic tracks. must have been absolutely amazing

Big ups to Jeff for flying quite a distance to go to a show like this. AMAZING!

#1100118Post 26 of 140

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

It was an incredible night with Digweed destroying the dancefloor. The new venue and its sounding system is simply perfect ...

Too bad I could not make it to the pub before Bedrock to meet up with the rest of the MS crew. Unfortunately, I did not meet any of MS guys, although I was around DJ booth most of the night :(

Looking forward to the next massive gig. Respect

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

This was the best night I've had out in the last 5 or 6 years, potentially the best ever. Didn't utter a single word from about 11.30 to 3 as I left everyone I knew to focus on dancing.

Sickeningly good

The main room is much bigger compared to Room1 of Fabric ... The sound system is state of the art

i hate u all!!!

hope the set gets out on the inter webz!!!

#1100149Post 32 of 140

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

Ive read reports he played 'la tour - blue', but i thought it was more like 'life in minds - life on mars'

and also reading reports of too much light in main room, i'd agree with this 100%, man my eyes were stinging the next day

but all in, a bleeding fantastic night :)

Yeah that's just reminded me. I thought he played Life On Mars I remember mentioning it to Simonr at the time. But the Evolution Mix of Life On Mars also sounds similar to a track Sasha plays on the Angels Burnley set from 10.06.1995

Just checked out the La Tour -Blue track on YouTube. I think it was more like Evolution Mix of Life On Mars. But they do all sound similar anyway

That has actually put a bit of a downer on it for me. The number of times I have watched the Youtube vid of the Bedrock where he plays it and and thought 'man I want to hear that again' (I was there for that one forunately). :(

Oh well. Still privileged to have been there and seen what happened :D

#1100159Post 35 of 140

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

Hopefully he'll have loads of tracks to carry forward to the next Bedrock (I assume that will be around Xmas at Fabric ?).

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

I travelled 2,500km to see this night I waited for 10Y and have to tell you that was probably the worst Digweed I ever heard. number of tracks but no orderand not a thought. And that was the first time I saw Digweed smiling all night long.

[COLOR=white]Message from Diggers on Bedrock board:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=mediumturquoise]Just want to say a massive thanks to everyone who made last Friday such an amazing night. 9 hours just seemed to fly by, I had fun mixing the old with the new for this night and really needed about 3 more hours to fit in the rest of the classics dug out to play for this night.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=mediumturquoise]Reading all your posts makes it all worthwhile and thanks to all at matter for being so helpful.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=mediumturquoise]Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Bedrock 10 album now.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=mediumturquoise]Many thanks[/COLOR]

[COLOR=mediumturquoise]John[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][COLOR=white]Bloody hell - 3 x more hours worth of music[/COLOR] :shock: [/COLOR][COLOR=white]- That would have taken things til 10.15 a.m. !![/COLOR]

:shock::shock::shock: ... out of interest what Digweed sets do you like Foreks ??

For many the mixing was seemless and the blend of tracks (new & old) absolutely inspired. I remember on commenting to Chunky how fresh the old stuff sounded - music can be timeless and the renaissance/NE/Communicate tracks are still awesome today.

Dunno what you were expecting mate ... but sorry you didn't enjoy things.

#1100312Post 40 of 140

Re: Report : Digweed @ Bedrock 10th Birthday (Matter)

I too thought Diggers was faultless, mixing was sublime as ever, and he really got to work with that incredible soundsystem which is easily the best in the UK.

Cant wait for the next one at Matter - probably easter?
