Re: Johnny Digweed

Oakey was fantastic at Cream and will always be a bit of a hero up in Liverpool - up until 1999 he was playing a lot of the tracks that Sasha and Digweed played: from 2000 onwards S & D took it darker and their progressive sounds started to stand them apart. S & D continued to progress (although I still feel that Sasha played better music up until 2004 - the stuff he was playing last year was very uninspiring at times).

Hernan and Oakenfold was always a good bill, I caught them at Heaven in 2003 when Hernan opened to 6 people, but built up a fantastic set as the place packed up to breaking point ! Things change - the likes of Martin Garcia and Luke Fair offer a fresher sound in their own unique ways - its a shame that Sasha, Digweed & Hernan don't give them the exposure they need by offering decent tours/bills.

Those 1999 EM's still stand up now (even if the Perfecto sound is dated) - and the Goa mix was sounding good last night.

BTW - if anyone has Oakeys 1995 Ku (Ibiza) mix please let me know.

every DJ has... i can remember certIN sasha sets where i honestly thougth an electro DJ was jacking his name. same goes for everyone except nick warren. nick warren ALWAYS ROCKS IT. they all went through certain phases.

digweed and sasha went fairly similar until after communicate dropped, and ten digweed went very very dark and minimal, whilst alex went electro. then alex went crazy writing breaks after his accident while diggers hopped onto electro. then sasha went back to mind blowing emotion, digweed went to that techy stuff he was playing.

hasnt the lion knig taught you anything...... the circle, the cirlce of liiiiiiifffffeeeee,

sasha was in a bad car accident and perforated his eardrum around 2001. that is what lead to air drawn dagger (hanging home, doctor ban from DJ'ing, so he sat in house with spooky and barry jamison and wrote the music for ADD). he didnt DJ for like half a year....

this also lead to that simply ridiculuous night at twilo (ben, mike??) where diggers played solo all fucking night and dropped breeders remix orbital's nothing left for the first time and the place went OFF during that breakdown. (followed up by POB 's blue botttle if i remember correctly).

Re: Johnny Digweed

Heck I'd say Sasha and Digweed still play some electro stuff. But it's DARK electro stuff, not the typical stuff.
