John Digweed is one of the forefathers or one of the very few who brought techno along and pretty much created and set the stage for trance out of techno and made this into the trance edm eschaton we are living in today ! In Trance We Trust
Decent techy set, not his best. Started out repetitive and emotionless but got better. Bu that crowd, gross. A bunch of zombies dazing at the booth. When we used to party at Twilo and others, we barely stared up front but instead spend all night dancing with groups forming our own circles. Clubbers these days man, they don’t bug out dancing anymore.
I remember seeing Sasha for the first time in Southampton in '93, when the whole club was off their tits and completely in the palm of his hand. Digweed in '97 at the Gardening Club in Covent Garden - dropping Aria - Ascension - and everyone looking around at each other like 'wtf is going on?'. If you know, you know.
I have been lucky enough to watch this guy playing live many times, unbelievably tight mixing for sure but his track selection and aura just sets the party up there right away, just like he is channeling some crazy energy and tears up the roof everytime.
