I have a lot of John Digweeds sets and I reckon the best years where about 1997 to 2003 for music from Sasha & Digweed.

What does everyone else reckon?? :)

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

John's sound is absolutely timeless.....he keeps pushing the boundaries even two decades on, so it's pointless to confine yourself to one particular era.....but I have to say one of the most outstanding sets I've heard from him was in 2009.......Bedrock 10.5......enough said

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

^lol I can't see Digweed trajectory in terms of better or worse. I think he has been trough different stages playing what he thought was the best quality music around according to him, and what he wanted us to listen . In some case we can discuss about music/productions quality or just taste as years go by. I also can't see an evolution, just changes, not for better, not for worse, it's different, of course I liked more the music played ten years ago (the music who played almost everyone we like), but I wont argue about what's on right now, I just give it a go and try not to compare.

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

Hard for me to say, I never really cared for him until 2006, and ever since I haven't been able to get enough of him.

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

I would agree with the xception of 98. Was just noise for me. Know I'm in the minority but have very few sets from S&D in 98. I would also add 2000 and certainly 2008-present he's been amazing imo

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

ok, I'm not being funny here, but, I honestly don't get the scrutinising of what years a dj was good or bad.. the past 15 years have been a blur to me, albeit a fun one, I just remember the good music I've experienced over that time and if something wasn't good, it gets forgotten. I don't have the time, energy or brain cells for that matter to go back and say "well, from June of '99 to march of '01.. etc etc." just seems odd to me, lol of course a set here and there will stand out, but gauging a dj/producer in 12 month intervals, I don't know, just weird

oh, sorry, IMO ;)

#1373007Post 19 of 33

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

i agree with steve.... digweed has had one of the biggest, most illustrious careers of any dj. every time i have seen him he has MURDERED the clubs. i have thoroughly enjoyed almost everything he has put out there for us to listen to for ages.

i will say this though... the only time i wasn't really into his set was last time i saw him with sasha here in atlanta last year (i must say that sasha was absolutely awesome that night). With this essential mix he's doing at the end of may though, i have a feeling he's going to restore something that was lost for me as i also haven't really enjoyed a lot of his sets he's released recently. i will say he's still the most diligent, best dj there is though. he works HARD and even though i might not be digging the tunes he's playing right now as much as i did 3 years agos, he's still one of, if not THE most talented dj out there. put him on an altar. there's nothing left for him to prove. i will never miss a show in atlanta when he comes here.

Funnily enough in the middle of his electro phase he put out one of his strongest mixes, the Fabric Webmix in 2005

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

I was playing his fabric CD in the car the other day and thought it was fantastic - recommend you all dust it off ;)

la dune still can't believe people think thats digweed LMAO

2005 was a low point in most music that year

every year keeps gettting better and better almost don't even care about the past anymore

#1373322Post 27 of 33

Re: What years do you reckon where the best for John Digweeds music?

It's kind of hard to say what his best years were when he is still out there kicking ass at every event. If I would have to choose what year I think he has laid down the best knowing that I can change it in the future as we still listen to him I would say 2001-2004 were his vintage years but from 2009-2010 he has been killing it. John is like a fine wine, it gets better with age.

The opposite here... 1999-2002 were really good times for me listening to his mixes. Production wise, though I´m not a big fan of Diggers own productions (Bedrock), I like their recent ones

May be 1999-2003. when the progress was progress

This.

I wish producers still made music in this style. Roland Klinkenberg - Rub-A-Dub and JVM & Giorgio - Subversal/Velvet Vision are massive tunes.
