[QUOTE=Kinetic;854755]I´m kind of with Hydrasonic on this one though, what happened to Transitions CD series? I thought that was going to be a regular ongoing series.[/QUOTE]
Believe the Transitions CD series was only a 4 cd deal with Renaissance but that's not to say it might re-surface some point in the future (this is just me speculating not any sort of rumour).

[quote] john digweed – ‘structures’ (bedrock records) cd1 & cd2 – compiled and mixed by john digweed
pablo casacuberta talks about his ‘eye of the storm’ documentary on the ‘structures’ bonus dvd. I started to work with musicians about twenty years ago. I was raised in a family where everyone else was a musician except me, so somehow i got used to create images following the same approach that i would use to compose music. I try to concentrate in the emotions, in the atmosphere, and to convey a sense of inner journey. Generally, when i’m asked to direct a documentary or an interview in which the subject is a well-known musician or performer, i think that the audience already knows how the artist looks on stage, or has a certain awareness of their "public persona". Probably because of that, it always felt more interesting to me to show a glimpse of their inner life, their thinking processes and their imagination. These are aspects of their artistic work that are not necessarily evident when they are on stage, and that can only be accessed by capturing them out of the contexts in which we are used to see them. For that reason, when i have the chance to follow an artist for a while, i try to visualize which are those aspects of his or her personality are harder to grasp in a first glimpse, and i try then to find visual metaphors that could illustrate them in a graphic way. I want the images to tell us something we didn't know before, so i try to convey the idea that those images we present in the documentary are like snapshots of the artist's mental life. To do so, i have to work out those images by having conversations about how they feel, what was their history and their background. And then i try to dismantle all preconceived ideas related to their work. I somehow try to present them to the audience as if we hadn't seen them ever before. Working with john digweed was a very rare opportunity, because he is an artist that doesn't fit the general preconceptions that apply to some djs. He doesn't play any gimmick on stage. He is not distant, but he doesn't pretend that he is in a state of exhilaration either. His performance is entirely about the music. It looks like choosing the right track for the right moment and for a particular crowd is for him an utter act of kindness. He is generous but patient. Popular but somehow mysterious. Both light and dark. He is central to what is happening but at the same time he is mostly away from the limelight. He likes to think of himself as somebody that can keep calm and quiet right in the eye of the storm, but also is capable to react quickly and unpredictably. For all those reasons, there was a huge space to explore his character in visual terms. I wanted to relate his interviews to images that were both very graphic and very abstract, so we could make it feel like they represent exactly what goes on in his mind. Trying to portray that sense of departure, we choose as a backdrop for the whole documentary one of his numerous tours to south america. It seemed to me that showing him walking around rìo de janeiro or jamming with local drummers in the streets of montevideo would show the kind of experiences that show very vividly how far his journey has taken him. But also i wanted to depict his celebrated patience, his sense of timing and his observational abilities. And the only way to do so was through sequences that were mostly poetic. So, instead of just following him around, we also placed him in strange, almost imaginary settings, in which his adaptive and curious nature could flourish. I’m very pleased with the results. My favourite outcome, when i shoot a series of interviews like the ones included in "eye of the storm", is when not only the audience sees the artist under a new light, but when the artist himself discovers angles and images that he finds unexpectedly accurate as a depiction of his state of mind. John was extremely collaborative, enthusiastic and humble, and went though the whole experience with a joyful sense of discovery. I hope that the final cut, however experimental, may allow his fans to feel that they have had a personal chat with him, and that by doing so they know him better.

well stab me in the starfish, this looks phenomenal
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
Will go against the grain here and say I prob won't pick this up. Label comps are always a gamble, and whilst Bedrock 11 was ok, it wasn't much of a keeper
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
You don't want the Vaganbond-set Greg?!
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
Not really no, will never be as good as it was for the people who were actually there.
Whilst I am a fan of Digweed, I'm not a super-fan like most of the board.
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
Looking forward to this! Especially the Vagabond set... I wonder if there are copyright issues regarding various parts of the set John played? Tunes that can't be included?

[QUOTE]Progressive house icon [URL="http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj-page.aspx?id=5"]John Digweed[/URL] will release his next mix package, [I]Structures[/I], this July on [URL="http://www.residentadvisor.net/record-label.aspx?id=1"]Bedrock Records[/URL].
Following last fall's [I]Bedrock Eleven[/I], the compilation packs in two CDs and a DVD. The former portion shows Digweed mixing up more than 30 of his recent favorites, including loads of unreleased productions and remixes by the likes of Wehbba, John Daly, Nic Fanciulli and of course himself and co-label head Nick Miur.
On the DVD, you'll find a new documentary by filmmaker Pablo Casacuberta, entitled [I]Eye of the Storm[/I]. The film captures Digweed on one of his many tours across South America, but rather than acting as a travel diary, it attempts to capture what Casacuberta considers Digweed's very essence.
He explains: "I wanted to depict his celebrated patience, his sense of timing and his observational abilities. And the only way to do so was through sequences that were mostly poetic. So, instead of just following him around, we also placed him in strange, almost imaginary settings, in which his adaptive and curious nature could flourish... I hope that the final cut, however experimental, may allow his fans to feel that they have had a personal chat with him, and that by doing so they know him better."
While that may sound a bit heady, the documentary will be complemented by [I]John Digweed Live at the Vegabond[/I], a clip from the Bedrock/Creations Party in Miami earlier this year.

Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
The bedrock website is taking pre-orders for Structures now. I just ordered mine yesterday. It is going to be like all his other cds, the first 500 will be signed. Ithink this is going to be another great cd by diggers.

+1 and defo can't beat that. Really looking forward to this. Was hoping for 6 hours of vagabond but oh well:lol:
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
it would be incredible if some day digs could commercially release a CD Box set with a 6-8hour live club mix. That would be the ultimate.
But I really do like the package deal he set up this time. Get the best of both worlds with an audio cd and a video documentary/live clip very kool.
just so mad that i missed that vagabond show when my car overheated in Naples on the way to miami, i know watching the dvd is going to make me cringe
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast

Now we're talking, perhaps we could bug diggers about this no?
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
Diggers posted this on the Bedrock Board - hopefully it gives you an idea of the work that goes into these things and how deeply John gets involved in each project:
[FONT=Century Gothic]"After reading some of the comments on here about the Structures CD I thought I should respond on a few issues. I found it quite funny that the general consensus is that because the album consists of Bedrock material that this is somehow a constraint!?!?[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]The reality is that this could not be further from the truth. [/FONT][FONT=Century Gothic]All of the tracks and remixes were specifically handpicked by myself with this release in mind from key producers whose work I continuously play out and support along with some fresh new talent who have not been involved with Bedrock before. We started requesting tracks and remixes in early November to give you an idea of the time that has been taken to put this project together and in that time I have road tested and played every single track on here. So to be honest it was an absolute privilege to be able to have free reign with the mixes and have such a great selection of music to work with, without any licensing issues or exclusivity constraints and the fact that we have 23 totally unreleased exclusives on this album is testament to what we set out to achieve with this album and Bedrock 11 for that matter.[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic]The bitter irony of all of this came about when we decided to include the Live mix from the Vagabond WMC Party and consequently had to license tracks from other labels and hit problems straight away with both a major and independent labels which I am sorry to say resulted in the mix we have been able to put out being shortened. However the general consensus was that this and the documentary would be great bonuses and make a truly special package."[/FONT]
I have to say this is an absolute bargain given the contents + the range of deals that should suit all. For me it's all about supporting the independent labels so they can flourish and keep providing the music we love year after year. So if you want to grab a copy follow the link below ;)

Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
kinda stinks that he had to cut the vagabond live mix short.
I dont get what these labels cause so many hassles. It would be great publicity for them and the artist to be featured on a live mix from digweed. makes no sense to me.
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
I was thinking the same thing. If you wouldn't eventually want your track featured on a John Digweed commercially released cd, why the fuck send it to him in the first place?
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
poop skiddles that blows....something is better then nothing...wasn't expecting the last hour+ of classics
0h well should be stellar no doubt digs will air some sure enough
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
Nice way to shoot yourself in the foot. Some people just do not know about publicity and marketing...bah!
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
I think it's not that they have anything against getting on a Digweed-mix comp, it's more likely that since it's Digweed they ask way more money then from someone else shooting themselves in the foot in the process.
Re: New John Digweed CD out in June plus an April Bedrock Podcast
Great way to preview the entire release, even the documentary.
