Hi guys. I saw Digweed last Sat night here in Sydney (about 7th or 8th time i've seen him) and he played one of the best sets i've ever witnessed.

The set was quite driving the whole way. He started with some tribal elements early on with some wicked rolling bass lines and progressed to the more typical darker Digweed sound but with some nice almost funky basslines then finished with some of the hardest, most intense stuff (not techno) i've heard him play.(apologies for crap descriptions)

My question is, whilst I have a lot of Digweed sets, I don't have anything that sounds remotely like the sound he was playing on Sat. Much of the recent stuff of his I have is a lot "lighter" and then of course I have a lot 1999 - 2003 period when prog for me was at it's peak.Can anyone recommend sets of his from more recent years that I could find that would be of the harder, darker style?

I can't help with any tunes played on the night as I'm not a trainspotter although for anyone who's interested, here's a link to a forum of the night with some tunes mentioned: [url]http://www.inthemix.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=268735&page=19[/url]

thanks and fingers crossed!!

Good call clint, i'm addicted to this one. you get the whole package here for sure. Also The Best of 2009 is quite stellar imo.

Re: Any suggestions please?

The last hour of his Easter-set from Bedrock at Matter in 2009 is pretty fucking banging.

Re: Any suggestions please?

Was thinking of the 10.5 set as well, but the first two hours cannot be missed.....absolutely magical:

Re: Any suggestions please?

Yes, the Bedrock 10.5 set is necessary listening material. The passage leading up to and including Dolphin Smack in the second hour is sublime.

Re: Any suggestions please?

thanks for the tips guys. I'm d/ling Croatia now clintlove and will go for others after.

cheers!!

Parts 3 and 4 can be found if you search for the 9 Aug and 16 Aug 2009 shows

Re: Any suggestions please?

Maybe also try John's two hours from Inox 2007? [URL]http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FV9G5KRI[/URL] Though the sound quality could be improved upon, musically I've ran out of superlatives to describe this, especially the first hour :shock:

Re: Any suggestions please?

This is some fine digweed mixing... The first hour is my fave.

Re: Any suggestions please?

got the Bedrock 10.5's, Croatia and Inox so thanks guys for all the reco's. Some very tasty stuff in amongst them; especially Part 2 of Bedrock 10.5

I'd say Part 4 of Bedrock 10.5 is closest to the sound I was after all up. feel free to keep them coming though!

Re: Any suggestions please?

While we are on the subject of recommendations, anyone know which would be the most "minimalist" sounding set by Digweed?

(Hope I"m not hijacking the thread mate - didn't want to start a new one)

Try his mix from Fabric in 2007 (check archives for May 27th).....10 Days Off mix from 2008.....the first hour of the 2008 Zouk set is quite spare but hypnotic

Re: Any suggestions please?

^^^ Sweet, thanks Funky.

You should try some of these sets mate, I've always felt Digweed is the master, even when it comes to "minimal", there is something very captavating about the tracks he spins. (This coming from someone who loves his "bangy" stuff ALL the time)

Over the years I've always thought I had a pretty open mind with music but there are 2 periods of Prog I just never got into Breaks/Prog and later on Minimal/Prog. Both just left me cold.

Thank goodness we've found melody again and the "chug" is making a comeback I say!:)

Re: Any suggestions please?

his 2007 essential mix from the warehouse project is defo one to check out plus more recently the best of 2009 and pacha sets are both excellent :D

Re: Any suggestions please?

^^What dates are the Best of 2009 ones?

Re: Any suggestions please?

If you don't have it already I recommend Diggers 300 transitions show its from the Axis Club in Boston recorded back in 1997 and part 2 (I think) is the mutts nuts form deep dark driving stuff!!
