I stopped listening to Digweed's hour nearly two years ago,when he started playing a lot of the MMII stuff,whic hjust doesnt do it for me.His tracklists recently dont look anything special,and his Fabric Cd hasnt got the greatest reviews.But he's still a legend,and he blew me away at Bedrock last Easter-you really cant compare the radio to his live sets

Personally I think the diversity of his Kiss shows these days is great, and the fact he had the chance to do something different for Fabric (lets face it there would be outcry if he did it on Bedrock) is welcome too.

Just like people always measure Sasha by his GU albums, the same is now happening to Digweed. Open your ears to new sounds, and stop living in the past and holding onto the 'glory days' I say.

I really can't understand why there is any debate here. Digweed's show is for the most part to show off new tracks (comparing to his live sets are pointless). Not only does he have incredibly upfront tracks, but his show has run the genre gamut in the last few months, from house to progressive to breaks to tech-house and practically into techno. With a range of styles like that, not everyone is going to like every set he plays, but he does play quality regardless of genre.

of course that's just my opinion...

i have posted this similar opinion about 3 times when this topic comes up, lol. I totally agree, but seems like alot of people think just because he is behind the decks, he spinning a "set". His show is to showcase new tracks and give the producers of said tracks the exposure they deserve.

ive noticed the same in my opinion...his last shows really aren?t getting me to even move my feet while i?m listening to them on the computer...i haven?t even saved his last 3 mixes on my hard drive..just gave em a few listens and then deleted em...guest mixes are still pretty good, some better than others

IMO, Digweed's sets [i]have[/i] been a bit boring as of late...I'm not into the real techy stuff and it sounds like that's what he's playing a lot of lately....I like the stuff that just pumps....

Re: Has Digweed lost a step lately??

Diggers is a mixing machine......i loved some of the other user comments.......he's a famous Dj who has to be exclusive no matter what...like someone said playing totaly new fresh tunes every week is fuckin hard...on top of that u have his mixing skills....and its true that no one does it better at 6:00AM then Mr. Digweed himself.....(well a close 2nd would be Danny Howells, Steve Lawler)...but think of it like this people....if he played all ur favorite tracks week by week then u would be saying...."ahh man he's been playing the same shit for ages....." can u blame him for evolving with time??? i sure as hell cant....i just sit back....relax and enjoy the rollercoaster ride that is Digweed!!!...i dont know, all i know is Sasha and Diggers are from another planet and that, i will never fully understand what goes thru their genious brains!!! nuff said!
